When teeth are missing, you may have trouble enjoying your favourite foods. Speaking may become a challenge, and you may not feel comfortable smiling with friends.
Dentures and partials in Avondale, Auckland, can restore your well-being, allowing you to enjoy meals again and feel more at ease.
Let’s explore what dentures and partials are and how they work.
Complete Dentures for Total Tooth Loss
Your dentist will likely recommend complete dentures for total tooth loss. These are gum-coloured prosthetics with restoration teeth in the base. The prosthetic fits over your gums, using suction and bony ridges for support.
If your remaining teeth are not strong enough to support a partial denture, your dentist will discuss extraction for a complete prosthetic. We offer sedation for extractions, including IV sedation, in Avondale, Auckland.
Partial Dentures for Partial Tooth Loss
Partial Dentures are similar, but the artificial teeth fit around your existing teeth, using clips for added support.
Implant-Retained Dentures
For a more stable solution, we’re pleased to offer implant dentures. To secure an arch of restoration teeth, we typically use four to six implants for a stable finish. We also provide implant bridges, which are like partial dentures in that they stand in for partial tooth loss.
Are You a Candidate for Dentures?
We can answer this question during your tooth replacement consultation in our dental clinic. We check the integrity of your jaw and overall oral health to determine the best way forward. Then, we share the options with you. Your dentist will let you know what to expect at every stage of treatment and how to best care for your new smile.
