Dentures Are a Reliable and Affordable Option
Dentures have been used for decades to restore oral health, but modern advancements mean they are now more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. At Trail Ridge Dental, we design dentures that restore chewing function, improve speech clarity, and rejuvenate your smile.
Patients often find that dentures not only improve their oral health but also restore confidence in both social and professional settings. Dentures are a cost-effective solution compared to dental implants and can often be created and fitted in a shorter timeline.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They can replace all the teeth in an arch (complete dentures) or just a few missing teeth (partial dentures). Each denture is customized to match your facial features, bite alignment, and gum contours.
Dentures are made from durable acrylic bases with artificial teeth that mimic the natural look of enamel. When fitted properly, they restore balance to your bite and help prevent the facial sagging often associated with tooth loss.
Types of Dentures at Trail Ridge Dental
Our Johnstown and Longmont offices provide a variety of denture options tailored to your needs:
Complete Dentures
Used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, complete dentures replace an entire arch. They are designed for stability and aesthetics, giving you a natural look while restoring function.
Partial Dentures
If some natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill the gaps with artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base. They are removable and supported by your remaining teeth for comfort and stability.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the coverage of dentures. The denture snaps securely onto implants, preventing slippage and increasing bite force. This is an excellent solution for patients who want more stability than conventional dentures provide.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures may be the right solution for patients who:
- Have lost multiple or all of their teeth
- Are not candidates for full dental implants due to bone loss
- Want a more affordable option compared to implant-only restorations
- Experience difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Have advanced gum disease or decay that cannot be restored with fillings or crowns
Dr. Visger will perform a full evaluation, including X-rays and impressions, to determine whether dentures, bridges, or implants are the best choice for your case.
Benefits of Choosing Dentures
Dentures provide a variety of functional and cosmetic benefits:
