Dentures

What are My Options?

No two patients have exactly the same needs. That is why we offer several different kinds of dentures. Dr. Weiss will work closely with you to decide which type of denture is best for you. An in-depth consultation will allow Dr. Weiss to identify your needs, and he will help you understand your options:

• Full dentures are used to treat patients that are missing all of their teeth. These dentures can be easily removed for sleeping and cleaning. If extractions are necessary, full dentures can be placed immediately afterward, or fitted shortly after healing is complete.
• Partial dentures, also known as bridges, are used when a patient has several healthy teeth remaining.
• Implant-supported dentures attach to Dental Implants, which are titanium posts surgically implanted into the jaw bone. This type of denture offers the best stability, allowing you to bite into foods like apples and steaks with no risk of dentures slipping out of place.

Once you decide which type of denture is best for you, 3-D imaging and impressions of your bite will be used to create your custom dentures. Over time, you may require adjustments to your dentures to achieve a proper fit. Dr. Weiss can make these adjustments to ensure that your dentures are comfortable, feel natural, and provide functionality.

Improved Oral Health & Aesthetic Benefits

The benefits of dentures can be both restorative and cosmetic. A compromised smile cannot properly chew, which can limit a patients’s diet and adversely affect their nutrition. Missing teeth can also disrupt the balance of the bite, which can result in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a condition in which excessive strain on the jaw causes facial pain, headaches and other symptoms.

Missing teeth can also cause the facial profile to collapse, leading to sunken cheeks and puckered lips. Dentures help patients to maintain facial volume and a normal appearance.
