Have you recently encountered complete tooth loss and find yourself overwhelmed with what to do next? Your teeth are meant to last you a lifetime. But certain factors, such as decay, disease, and trauma can lead to tooth loss. While most dentists will try and save a tooth with conservative restorative treatments first, when damage is too severe, an extraction may be necessary.
If you are looking for a tooth replacement solution, you’ve probably had plenty of people give you their recommendations, not to mention seen endless options online. The good news is teeth can be replaced, but you shouldn’t delay the selection process too long. The sooner a tooth replacement solution is chosen, the sooner your smile can be restored and you can protect your oral health.
When complete tooth loss occurs in the upper and/or lower jaw, dentures provide a quick and affordable solution. Please continue reading to learn more. You can also schedule an appointment with Dr. Bridges at our Duncan, OK practice by contacting us online or calling (580) 255-4880.
Traditional Dentures vs. Implant Dentures
We offer traditional and implant denture at Chisholm Trail Smile Center. The type chosen will depend on your budget, timeline, and oral health. Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums and are held in place with suction and a dental adhesive. We offer full dentures for complete tooth loss, or can even fabricate a partial denture when tooth loss has occurred sporadically throughout the mouth. This prosthetic uses both gums and remaining teeth to hold the denture in place.
Implant dentures are supported by dental implants surgically inserted into the jawbone. These come at a higher price point and require a lengthier recovery period, but are longer-lasting. Because the implants function as former tooth roots, they help counteract bone degeneration and promote better jawbone health.
Selecting the Right Denture Teeth for You
We fabricate our dentures using DENTSPLY Trubyte teeth, the nation’s top-selling brand. We offer three price points in our office to fit our patient’s unique needs. The main difference between them is the materials used, but all three are customized to blend with the natural aesthetics of your smile so you can enjoy genuine results.
- Economy: Even if you’re on a tight budget, with Economy you can enjoy a great looking and reliable denture at an affordable price. This ultra value, classic denture uses Bioform teeth formulated from a synthetic resin and offers a wide selection of molds and shades, delivering aesthetically pleasing results.
- Deluxe: As the newest denture design from DENTSPLY, Deluxe offers a step up from Economy using TruExpression teeth. These teeth are formulated from MXL, providing high wear-resistance and realistic shade blending designed for both durability and realistic results.
- Premium: As the most lifelike, Premium offers the best in natural anatomy, using Portrait IPN, a unique blend of polymer combined with a special hybrid of monomer. This material most closely mimics natural tooth enamel, while also provides superior durability.
