Dentures are a popular and reliable solution for missing teeth. At Dental Horizons in Longmont, our team is proud to offer both full and partial same-day dentures to meet the tooth-replacement needs of our patients.
What are full & partial dentures?
Dentures are prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth. Full dentures replace all the teeth in one dental arch and are held in place through suction or a special denture adhesive. Partial dentures are used when a few adjacent teeth are missing or when nearby teeth cannot support a bridge. The denture is made up of one or more artificial teeth and is often secured by clasps that attach to existing teeth.
What are the benefits of full and partial dentures?
Dentures not only improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-confidence, but they also provide many other important benefits. They can help you maintain a healthy diet by making it easier to chew your food, aiding in the digestive process. They also support facial muscles that tend to sag when teeth are missing, and help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Who is a good candidate for dentures?
Most patients who have lost one, many, or all of their teeth may benefit from full or partial dentures. Our experienced team at Dental Horizons will be happy to assess your needs and recommend the best solution to replace your missing tooth or teeth.
Is it better to get full dentures or partials?
Choosing between full dentures and partials depends on your specific dental needs. Full dentures are recommended when all natural teeth are missing in an arch, while partial dentures are ideal for replacing several missing teeth. During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss which option best suits your situation.
Are partial dentures more expensive than full dentures?
The cost of dentures can vary depending on factors such as materials used, complexity of the case, and your dental insurance coverage. Generally, partial dentures may be slightly more expensive than full dentures due to the customization required to fit around existing teeth. At Dental Horizons, we provide transparent pricing and flexible payment options to make quality affordable dental dentures for our patients.
