Dentures

Alternatives for Restoring a Full Arch

Treatment alternatives

When you’re missing most or all of your upper or lower teeth, you have several choices for replacing them. Depending on your situation, you could choose—

  • a conventional full denture.

  • an overdenture.

  • implants.

  • delaying treatment.

Delaying treatment

If you are thinking of delaying treatment, you should know that the jawbone will continue to shrink, making future treatment more complex. And without treatment, speaking and eating properly will become increasingly difficult. Your lips and cheeks will lack the support they need for a more youthful appearance. For these reasons, we recommend treatment now to help you stay healthy and keep a beautiful smile.

Overdentures 

An overdenture looks the same as a regular denture, but it’s held in place by some of your existing teeth. This allows overdentures to be more secure and feel more natural than conventional dentures. And because some of your natural teeth are left in place, loss of bone in your jaw is slowed significantly.

Implants

Implants are small titanium posts that are placed into the bone of your jaw. Because they replace the roots of missing teeth, they help maintain the health and shape of the jawbone. Implants also hold dentures or other restorations securely in the mouth.

However, implants require surgery, and they can take months to heal completely.
