Dentures

Losing one or more of your natural teeth can have a significant impact on your ability to eat, speak, and smile properly. However, thanks to recent improvements in dentistry, these obstacles are easily addressed.

Dentures come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are an effective way to replace lost teeth. At Soos Creek Dental in Covington, WA, we will work with you to create the smile of your dreams by designing the best treatment plan for your individual dental needs.

What Are Dentures?

A denture is a prosthetic that can replace one or all of the missing teeth. They are less expensive than dental implants because they do not require surgery. Dentures will provide you with a functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing set of teeth. These restorations can be individually custom-fabricated for each patient's needs, and our dentists can assist you in determining the best dentures for you.

Types of Dentures

• Complete dentures are designed to replace a whole arch of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
• Partial dentures are intended to replace only a few teeth in an arch.
• Immediate dentures are temporary dentures that you can wear immediately after tooth extraction so that you do not have to go home without teeth.
• Overdentures are dentures that are fitted over existing tooth roots or implants. Overdentures require tooth structure beneath them, such as an implant, for support.

Advantages of Dentures 

Simple to Maintain

If you want your dentures to last a long time, you must take good care of them. After each meal, thoroughly rinse them. To prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria, soak them overnight in a special cleaning solution.

Maintains Your Face's Structure

Missing teeth might affect your skeletal structure, perhaps altering your appearance. When creating dentures, our dentist considers your facial shape. This helps to restore your original structure while also preventing facial sagging.

Improved Functioning

Chewing food may become challenging if you lose teeth. Dentures improve your chewing abilities, so you won't need to adjust your diet. It can also help with clarity of speech and the prevention of slurred speech.

Enhances Your Appearance

People who have lost their teeth are scared to smile or eat in public. Dentures can restore your missing smile. In look and function, they are identical to your natural teeth. These can completely transform your appearance and improve your overall attractiveness.
