Dentures – Suwanee, GA
Regain the Smile You’ve Been Missing
People with missing teeth tend to feel very self-conscious about their smile, and often simple things like speaking
and eating feel very uncomfortable or awkward. If this sounds like you, then your quality of life is probably very
affected by your teeth. At Dentistry at Suwanee, we completely empathize with your situation, which is why
we’re happy to provide a restorative treatment we know works: dentures. Dentures have been used for
generations in one form or another, and today, they are still one of the most effective and affordable solutions for
missing teeth. If you’re ready to regain the smile you’ve been missing, please contact us today and ask
about all of our various denture options.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Thankfully, a large majority of patients struggling with tooth loss are candidates for dentures! So, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our Suwanee dentist. During your initial visit, they will take a look at your oral cavity, learn about your aesthetic goals, and ask you questions about your lifestyle habits. From there, they will be able to determine if dentures are the ideal option for you.
The Types of Dentures
At our practice, Dr. Brian Lee and Dr. Katherine Lee spend all the time that is necessary to ensure that when a patient walks out of our office with dentures, they walk out feeling confident. One of the first steps in that process is determining which type of denture is right for you.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is designed to replace missing teeth throughout the mouth while fitting in seamlessly with the remaining teeth, much like the missing piece of a puzzle. They are made of prosthetic teeth attached to an acrylic, gum-colored base, and they are typically held in place using small metal clasps.
Full Dentures
A full denture, on the other hand, is what we use to restore an entire arch of missing teeth, and traditionally, it is secured in place on the gums using either natural suction and/or a bit of denture adhesive. In either case, it’s able to drastically increase a person’s ability to speak and eat normally.
Implant Dentures
We can also offer state-of-the-art implant-retained dentures, in which the denture is held in place by snapping onto a number of dental implants located within the jawbone. Compared to a traditional removable prosthetic, implant-retained dentures look more natural, fit better, and have been shown to last longer as well. For a person looking to get the next best thing to their natural teeth, implant-retained dentures are the way to go.
The Benefits of Dentures
There are several perks to receiving traditional dentures. Here are a few:
- Non-invasive procedure
- Can help patients who’ve lost a significant amount of bone mass
- Lower upfront cost
- Can last for 7+ years with proper care
- Custom-made for lifelike look and feel
