Pasadena, MD

Despite advancements in dentistry, tooth loss remains a prevalent issue, affecting 26% of adults aged sixty-five to seventy-five in the United States. For those seeking solutions, removable dentures offer versatility and affordability.

Standard full dentures consist of a complete set of upper and lower teeth held in place by suction. These dentures are typically made from a flexible material that facilitates suction. However, their pliability necessitates regular dental visits to address potential shrinkage, which can lead to ill-fitting dentures and even jawbone atrophy.

Partial dentures replace a limited number of teeth rather than an entire set. They are a single-piece fitting supported by remaining teeth and gums, offering greater security and comfort compared to standard full dentures.

Cosmetic dentures are crafted to resemble natural teeth as closely as possible. Unlike standard dentures that may become ill-fitting over time due to shrinkage and warping from heat curing processes, cosmetic dentures are made from a special acrylic base that prevents such issues.

Moreover, some cosmetic dentures achieve a lifelike appearance by utilizing implants. These implants are surgically placed in the mouth to provide a secure anchor for the dentures. The denture either rests on these implants or securely snaps onto them, ensuring stability and comfort without the risk of movement.

If tooth loss and cost concerns are impacting your quality of life, removable dentures offer a viable solution. You deserve the best care possible for your dental needs. Contact us today to schedule a consultation for dentures.
