Dentures

Fully Restore Your Smile

Dealing with missing or broken teeth is frustrating and often painful. The more issues you have with your teeth, the more your dental health impacts your life. You may find yourself self-conscious and not wanting to smile. You may also deal with negative side effects such as pain, sensitivity, swelling, and bleeding.

If you have concerns with most or all of your teeth, dentures are usually the best way to improve your smile and provide you with a functional, beautiful mouth of teeth.

At DeStefano Dentistry, Dr. Thomas J. Stefano works with his dental team to improve your quality of life when you have missing or broken teeth. He provides both traditional and implant-supported dentures. Discover more or call today for a consultation!

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are a type of oral appliance that replaces missing teeth. Various kinds of dentures exist, including partial and full. There are also different ways that dentures work, such as traditional versus implant-supported. 

At DeStefano Dentistry, we provide traditional and implant-supported dentures. Both options can be partial or full.

Most people are somewhat aware of traditional dentures. With this type, you can take the denture in and out to clean it or eat. The denture uses the upper palate and ridge of your gums to keep the denture in place.

While traditional dentures tend to be more affordable, they aren’t as secure or durable as implant-supported dentures.

An implant-supported denture uses dental implants to support the denture. For implant-supported dentures, Dr. DeStefano will place a few implants in a process known as All-on-X. This means you can get an entire arch of teeth with just 2–6 dental implants or an entire mouth of teeth with around 6–10.

Implant-supported dentures are much more durable and usually fit more comfortably in your mouth. The dental implants last a lifetime, providing a strong foundation of support for the denture. 

Implant-supported dentures can be removable or permanent.

What Kind of Denture Do I Need?

The type of denture that’s right for you will depend on multiple factors, such as whether:

  • You need an entire arch or entire mouth of new teeth
  • You have dental insurance or other budgetary concerns
  • You have enough jawbone density to support dental implants

During a consultation with Dr. DeStefano, he will discuss the pros and cons of various types of dentures. From there, you can ask questions and determine which options best fit your needs.
