Dentures

-

 


Dentures are used as a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are custom-made, they are removable and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While they may take some getting used to and don’t feel exactly the same as natural teeth, modern-day dentures are natural-looking and more comfortable than they have ever been before.  The Seminole Dental  in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a low cost dental office by me.

What are partial dentures?

Partial dentures are used when a tooth or teeth need to be replaced but the remaining natural teeth are not strong enough or able to support other tooth replacement structures, like a bridge, or there is not enough bone for implants. Partial dentures are fitted to the gum and not impacted by the teeth around them.

What are full dentures?

Full dentures are used to replace all teeth and are fitted over the gums. Implant supported (All-On-4) dentures are a type of dentures that are fitted and anchored with dental implants. These implants are permanent and fixed into your jawbone. The implant supported denture (All-On-4) is then attached to that implant. The advantage of implants in All-On-4 dentures is that they allow the denture to be very firm and strong. They are not removable and allow you to function almost as if you have your natural teeth. The dentures on All-On-4 is a very economical way to have a lot of teeth firmly anchored to the bone using only four implants.

What are the benefits and uses of dentures?

In addition to providing a replacement for missing teeth, dentures will help improve your appearance and your smile. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag over time making you appear older than you are. As a practical replacement for teeth, dentures help you to eat and speak more comfortably. Dentures also allow you to chew foods normally which means you can maintain a proper, healthy and nutritious diet.

Do you need dentures?

If you’re wondering whether you need dentures or not, we recommend booking in a consultation with one of our gentle dentists. Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth and provide a recommendation of the best dental solution to suit your specific needs and circumstances. 

How much do dentures cost?

We understand that most patients want to know the cost of dentures upfront. That’s why our pricing page includes the prices of all of our procedures and services, including our affordable dentures prices list. 

What are dentures made out of?

Full dentures are made of plastic (acrylic). All-On-4 dentures are made of a combination of acrylic, titanium, porcelain depending on the type of All-On-4 denture (for more information click here) and personal cosmetic and functional needs.

Partial dentures are made of plastic (acrylic), chrome cobalt and wrought gold.

How do you clean dentures?

Dentures should be cleaned every single day in the same way as you would clean and brush your natural teeth. Despite not being real teeth, tartar, plaque and other bacteria can still build up. To clean your dentures follow these steps.

Why you might need it

  The pain of toothache can leave us in agony and misery, sometimes unable to function. Arriving after we reach adulthood, our wisdom teeth (or third molars) can cause a range of dental problems. They can be obstructed by our other 28 adult teeth and emerge at an angle or get stuck and only partially come through.   The S eminole Dental    in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a  low cost dental office by me. Food and bacteria can get trapped around the edges of such teeth and cause on-going problems such as tooth decay (caries) and gum disease - despite regular brushing and flossing. Removing some or all of the wisdom teeth can be a long term solution. Why you might need it Our wisdom teeth typically emerge in our late teens or early 20s. Some people never develop them while others have up to four – one in each back corner of the mouth. Wisdom teeth usually cause no problems, but if there isn’t enoug...

So what can we eat that helps our teeth?

  There are plenty of food options that can have a positive effect on our dental and general health. There is a lot of research that indicates the importance of eating a diet rich in minerals and vitamins. In particular Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Highly processed foods often lack many of these vital components so there is a lot to be said for eating a wholefood, natural diet. High in vegetables, pasture raised protein and healthy fats. When visiting the grocery shop a lot of these options can be found by shopping around the outer edges of the shop. So, if no matter how much effort you are putting into cleaning your teeth you still find yourself needing fillings, it might be time to re-evaluate what you’re eating and how you are fueling your body.    The S eminole Dental    in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a  low cost dental office by me.
