DENTURES IN LITTLETON, CO

Tooth loss, whether only some or all of the teeth, will not only affect an individual's self-image but can also increase the risk of developing dietary problems and other general health conditions if it is left untreated. Luckily, dentures offer a reliable and trustworthy method for rectifying this condition.

A denture in Littleton, CO is a removable alternative for missing teeth, and they are generally made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination with various other metals.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENTURES?

There are various types of dentures available in Littleton, CO to address specific issues, and the best option for you will depend on your individual needs. 

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures provide a solution when all of your natural teeth are missing. They can help replace an entire set of teeth on the jawbone's upper and/or lower arch. The complete dentures can be custom-made to ensure a proper fit and functionality.  

Removable Partial Dentures 

Removable partial dentures usually comprise replacement teeth fixed to a gum-colored plastic base, supported by a well-constructed metal framework. These dentures are secured to the existing teeth with metal clasps. The support provided by the crowns on your natural teeth may improve the fit of a removable partial denture.  

Immediate Dentures

These are usually temporary solutions for your missing teeth. Though they can be placed straight away after tooth extraction, immediate dentures won't fit as well as permanent dentures. They do, however, deliver you with new teeth instantly and give you time to adjust. 

Overdenture

An overdenture is a kind of removable denture that can be secured over a few remaining natural teeth or implants. The natural teeth must be prepared in advance to provide stability and support for the denture. 

Implant-Supported Overdentures

The firmness of a lower or upper denture can be improved if they are supported by using two or more dental implants. Generally, the upper jaw requires more implants than the lower jaw due to lesser bone density. The implant-supported dentures deliver an outstanding balance of comfort, functionality, and value.
