Dentures – Buffalo Grove, IL
The Traditional Tooth Loss Solution
You may not have known, but tooth loss is a surprisingly common issue. As many as 178 million American adults have lost at least one of their permanent teeth. That being said, there’s no need for you to live with the gaps in your grin. You can always rely on our dentures in Buffalo Grove, courtesy of Dr. Nagornaya. Just keep reading to learn about them in detail, or book a visit to see us!
Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
The truth is that nearly any healthy adult can qualify for dentures; “tooth loss” is the only major treatment requirement. Still, some patients benefit more from the prosthetics than others. Those who still have teeth along an arch may want to consider other options. Similarly, dentures won’t work for patients who have unhealthy gums and jaws.
Given the points above, please consult Dr. Nagornaya to see if dentures suit you. She’ll give you a thorough oral exam to check whether treatment would help your grin. Based on what she finds, our team can tailor a custom treatment plan just for you!
Types of Dentures
With Dr. Nagornaya’s approval, we’ll suggest you try one of three types of dentures. These kinds differ in their designs, features, and effects, so you should consider them in detail. They include:
Partial Dentures
Per its name, a partial denture only replaces a few of your teeth. That means it fits over your gumline with suction or clasps onto nearby teeth (“abutments”) for support. Once it does either, it’ll use its pink acrylic base and color-matched teeth to blend with your smile.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces an entire arch (i.e., a row) of teeth at once. To that extent, it doesn’t use clasps to secure itself; it only relies on suction force (or store-bought adhesives) for support. Still, this denture fits snugly and blends seamlessly thanks to its acrylic base and custom artificial teeth.
Implant Dentures
If you want a more permanent option, you should consider implant dentures. These kinds are unique because they secure themselves with dental implants – metal posts that substitute for your teeth. Due to this feature, an implant denture remains stable over time and doesn’t slip or fall like other kinds. On the contrary, you can trust them to work like natural teeth for years.
The Benefits of Dentures
With our practice’s dentures, patients can enjoy the following perks:
- Beautiful Teeth – Thanks to their quality materials, modern dentures look beautiful and lifelike. They blend seamlessly with your smile and enhance your looks!
- A Confidence Boost– Dentures will boost your confidence by “filling” your smile gaps. From there, you’ll feel assured in your looks, speech, and eating ability.
- Better Nutrition – By providing more teeth, dentures help you chew food and improve your nutrition.
- Cost-Effective Care – Dentures don’t cost as much as other restorations and work quite well. As such, they’re very cost-effective for patients with small budgets.
