Dentures in Burtonsville, MD
Dentures are an effective solution for those who have lost most or all of their natural teeth due to injury or declining oral health. They offer the same advantages as healthy, natural teeth, allowing for comfortable and easy chewing. Dentures are easy to use and provide a fast and efficient solution for significant tooth loss.
These prosthetic teeth are affixed to a base that matches the color of your gums and can be secured with or without dental implants. We advise booking a consultation with us to discuss all available options and determine the best solution tailored to your unique needs.
Comprehensive Custom Denture Services
Dentists aim to restore the ability to smile, speak, and chew when a patient has lost all their teeth. Dr. Miller at Burtonsville Dental Suite has successfully provided many patients with full removable dentures after their teeth had to be removed for various reasons.
Full dentures are recommended by dentists when the upper arch, lower arch, or both are devoid of teeth. These dentures not only support facial muscles, preventing sagging of lips and cheeks, but also instill confidence in eating and smiling.
Artificial teeth, available in various shapes and colors, are attached to a pink base that fits over your natural gum tissue. Whether you've just had your teeth pulled or have been missing them for many years, you can be fitted for dentures.
Types and Materials Used for Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are made either from a combination of metal and acrylic or solely from acrylic. The design of these dentures is dictated by the patient's specific needs and anatomy, with every effort made to create a self-cleaning denture that protects the remaining teeth and oral tissues.
Dr. Miller will carefully design your partial denture to ensure that chewing forces are evenly spread across the remaining teeth and soft tissues. Adjustments to your remaining teeth may be suggested to help balance these forces.
Metal partials are often the preferred choice due to their superior structure. They are thinner and more hygienic than acrylic partials, which are typically used as a temporary or transitional solution. Dr. Cha will discuss with you to decide the most suitable partial for your needs.
