Types of Dentures
The type of denture that your dentist in Arlington may suggest will depend on your unique tooth loss situation. Based on our findings during your initial consultation, we’ll walk you through our recommended restorative treatments and explain how they can help you achieve a complete smile again.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures typically contain a strategically-designed metal base that fits between your existing teeth. This base holds a gum-colored acrylic foundation that houses beautiful, lifelike replacement teeth. Once the partials are placed in your mouth, they’ll complete your smile and prevent your surrounding teeth from drifting out of place down the road.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are specially designed to harness the power of natural suction when placed over the gums, allowing them to stay firmly in place while you eat and speak. The base is made of a natural-looking, gum-colored acrylic that holds replacement teeth in place.
Implant Dentures
For patients who are looking for a longer-lasting, more natural-feeling solution for tooth loss, we also offer implant dentures that are secure to dental implant posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This allows them to not only restore the visible surface of teeth, but also the root structure, preventing jawbone erosion over time and preserving your natural facial structure.
