Types of Dentures

There are many types of dentures available nowadays that differ based on their structure, materials, or support system. If you require a quick tooth replacement, we prefer partial and full dentures in Austin, TX, as an optimum solution. However, for long-term durability, our dentists may also recommend implant-supported dentures.

Conventional Dentures

These dentures have an acrylic plate that provides retention. Conventional dentures are of two types:

  • Partial dentures: If you have lost two or more teeth in an arch, we can replace them with partial dentures. They use the support of your adjacent teeth and underlying jawbone.
  • Complete dentures: To replace a full set of missing teeth, our dentists provide complete dentures with a bigger acrylic plate for superior retention. The support for complete dentures comes entirely from your jawbone, so it needs to be in a healthy condition.

Implant-supported dentures

We usually prefer implant-supported dentures for a case of full-mouth rehabilitation. The primary advantage of implant-supported dentures is that they have better stability and retention than conventional ones. In this case, we insert 4 to 6 dental implants in your jawbone, and after proper healing, we will connect them with a full-mouth prosthesis. The procedure for implant-supported dentures may take longer than conventional partial and full dentures in Austin, TX.

Process of Partial and Full Dentures in Austin, TX

To start with the procedure of dentures, we will perform an oral exam to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Because dentures rely heavily on support from the jawbone, it needs to have a good structure. If you have an extensive bone loss after losing teeth, our dentists may recommend bone grafting before getting dentures.

We will begin by taking dental impressions of your arches and sending them to a dental lab. Expert technicians will fabricate a denture that matches the natural contour and bite of your teeth. We will call you for a second visit to test the fitting of the denture. Your satisfaction is our top priority, so we will ensure that the denture rests comfortably in your mouth and has good retention. Our team will also give you the necessary instructions afterward to use, clean, and maintain your new denture.
