Missing teeth can cause great changes to your oral cavity and its function. Losing teeth can alter how you speak, chew food, and your facial structure. Dentures in Royal Oak, MI, from your dentist, Dr. Douglas Eades, can help you complete your smile once again and overcome the challenges that losing your teeth brings.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures feature a pink-colored resin that looks like your gum and porcelain teeth. Your dentist creates your dentures especially for you so that they fit perfectly. Your dentures can fit your gums by special adhesives or to your jaw bone by dental implants. The types of dentures that you can get from your dentist include:
- Partial Dentures - These replace your missing teeth if you've not lost your complete dental arch. A secure metal clip attaches your partial dentures to your remaining natural teeth.
- Full Dentures - They replace your complete dental arch. Special adhesive helps keep them in place over your gums.
- Implant-Supported Dentures - These dentures are held securely to your jaw bone by dental implants. They are the most secure type of dentures and can last a lifetime.
