DENTURES AND IMPLANT DENTURES
Dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth. They are typically made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal, and they are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth. Dentures can be used to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch (complete dentures) or a few missing teeth (partial dentures).
Implant dentures are a more permanent tooth replacement option that involves surgically placing dental implants in the jawbone to anchor a set of dentures in place. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable and secure foundation for the dentures to attach to.
It’s important to discuss the pros and cons of each option with your dentist at Diablo Dental Group to determine which tooth replacement option is best for your individual needs and goals.
