Classic Denture Center: Additional Services

Posted on by Classic Denture Center

dental implants vancouver waAt Classic Denture Center, we know that having missing or damaged teeth may lead you to feel self-conscious about your smile and appearance when you are around other people. This is especially true if you are missing most or all of your teeth. In these cases, the first solution introduced is dentures in Vancouver WA. That said, we understand that some people feel insecure about the idea of having dentures and would prefer another option.

So are there any alternatives to dentures?

Dental Implants

In many cases, dental implants are the most common and effective option for those who are looking to avoid dentures. A dental implant is a titanium fixture that is surgically inserted into your jawbone. These fixtures act as anchors to hold your replacement teeth in place. Following the procedure of getting implants, you will need to wait 3-6 months for bonding to occur between your jawbone and the implant to make sure that it was successful.

Many people choose to go with dental implants because they are a long-term and durable solution for missing or damaged teeth. As a matter of fact, unlike dentures that need to be replaced every so often, your dental implants could last a lifetime. Unlike dentures, your new dental implants are not removable, meaning that they are extremely comfortable when eating or speaking. If you are hoping to qualify for dental implants, you will need to have healthy gums and enough supportive bone present to bond to the implant.

Over-dentures

For those who have lost most or all of their teeth, over-dentures may be a good option. Unlike traditional dentures that are held in your mouth by an adhesive, over-dentures are very secure because they are held in place by dental implants or any remaining teeth in your mouth. They are very stable and will not move around while you are talking or chewing, making them an appealing option for missing teeth. Over-dentures also stimulate the jawbone due to how secure they are, this means that they can help slow down and even prevent any future bone loss.

Flippers 

These are a much less permanent option for those struggling with tooth loss. A Flipper is a removable partial denture that acts as a temporary replacement if you have missing teeth.

Flippers are made from a denture acrylic that very closely resembles your gums and is used to support your replacement tooth or teeth.

The look of your flipper can vary depending on how many teeth you are missing. It might even have clasps like a retainer to hold the replacement tooth in place around your existing teeth.

Here are a few benefits of a dental flipper:

  • You will achieve improved appearance: Your flipper fills in the gaps where your teeth are missing
  • It can be prepared in advance: If you are having a tooth removed, a dental flipper can be made in advance so you can avoid walking around with gaps in your teeth
  • It will make it easier to eat: A flipper helps you chew food more easily than with a missing tooth or teeth
  • They provide stability for your teeth: Your flipper works to keep the teeth that are around the gap in place, preventing shifting
  • They are convenient: You may find that you enjoy how simple they are to wear
  • They are affordable: Dental flippers can be much cheaper than other options
  • They are easy to make: Your new flipper can be made quickly and be ready to wear within a few days
