Dentures are custom-made, removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you are missing several teeth or a full arch, dentures offer a practical solution to help you regain functionality and confidence. At Mainieri Dental, we provide both complete dentures and partial dentures, based on your specific dental needs.
Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in one or both dental arches are missing. These full-arch replacements rest comfortably on the gums and are custom fitted to provide optimal comfort and stability. Our dentist may recommend complete dentures if you have lost all your teeth, ensuring that your ability to chew, speak and smile is restored. Some patients choose to use denture adhesives for added security, although modern dentures are designed to stay in place without discomfort.
Partial dentures are a suitable option if you still have some of your natural teeth remaining. These dentures are attached to your existing teeth with a thin framework or metal clasps, offering a more secure and stable fit. Partial dentures not only fill in the gaps left by missing teeth but also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can happen over time.
In addition to restoring the functionality of your bite, dentures help improve your facial appearance. Tooth loss can lead to a sunken or aged appearance due to the loss of facial volume. With dentures, your face will regain its natural contours, giving you a healthier, more youthful look.
Our team ensures that every denture we provide is custom designed for your comfort and aesthetics. The process involves a thorough evaluation of your oral health, precise measurements and careful crafting to ensure that your new dentures fit naturally and securely.
