Benefits of Dentures
Missing teeth certainly impact the cosmetics of our smile, but they perform a lot of other important tasks as well. With our custom dentures, these vital functions are restored so you can enjoy all the benefits of a complete smile like:
- Chewing Comfortably: Enjoy your favorite foods once again! From juicy steaks to crispy apples, our dentures will let you chew comfortably without issue. Yum!
- Speak Clearly: Teeth help with tongue placement when forming words and so will our dentures.
- Lower Your Risk of Gum Disease: Our teeth are the first line of defense against gum disease. Let our dentures help protect the soft tissue of your mouth.
- Improve the Appearance of Your Smile: Missing teeth are often embarrassing and cause you to feel self-conscious. Dentures give you back your smile.
- Look Younger: When you lose teeth, you may also experience bone loss, which ages you. Dentures can return structure to your jaw and help you look younger.
Types of Dentures
Our office is committed to helping each and every one of our patients reach their oral health goals while getting a smile they are proud to share with the world. To honor this commitment, we offer a great selection of dentures so you can choose which satisfies your needs the best.
The following is a brief overview of our denture options. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our office or schedule a consultation.
Full Dentures
As the name implies, full dentures are a fantastic choice for major tooth loss. They should be considered if you are missing all of your teeth. However, they can also be used if you are only missing teeth along a single dental arch (your upper or lower jaw).
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your remaining teeth, restoring your smile and helping you chew comfortably and speak clearly. They are crafted to look like your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits once in place.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Most dentures are removable, however, you do have the option to secure your dentures with implants. For full dentures, we place 2 or more strategic dental implants to hold the denture in place. We strongly recommend implants to support lower dentures so you can resume a normal diet. Ponderosa Dental has multiple affordable options to get you back to eating the food you love.
How Do I Get Dentures?
The first step is to come in for a consultation! We may need to take digital images of your mouth to get an accurate diagnosis. Once you decide on dentures, the images go to a laboratory where a ceramist will make your dentures. When the ceramist completes the dentures, we check for fit and adjust as needed, and then you are ready to go!
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Dentures?
Insurance coverage varies from policy to policy. We are happy to check out your individual policy and talk with you about what it does and does not cover.
