Get A Brand New Smile With Dentures

Get A Brand New Smile With Dentures

When you have lost a significant amount of teeth, you have not only lost your smile, you have also lost your self-confidence. Lost or missing teeth may make you feel as if you no longer wish to smile as broadly or can make you feel self-conscious when speaking or eating. These are just some of the reasons why 90 percent of all patients who are missing all of their teeth in America choose dentures as a tooth replacement option. Our denture patients in Pekin are no different, and they have seen the benefits for themselves at how dentures can once again give them something to smile about.

Dentures are an artificial replacement option that recreates your teeth, including a re-creation of your gums to look as natural as possible. Dentures can replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth. Our office offers two types of dentures. Complete or conventional dentures are applied are fitted about six months after your teeth are extracted, if required. This gives your gums and jawbone time to heal, which ensures your dentures are the best fit possible.

Another option is immediate dentures. This denture type is applied immediate after any remaining teeth are pulled. While this option may require some additional adjustments at a later time as your jaw heals.

Dentures over a number of benefits -- one of the most noticeable being a full set of teeth to smile with. In addition to this benefit, dentures will help you speak more easily. Living without teeth can cause difficulty in pronouncing the letters "s" and "t." Also, with your new set of teeth, you can bite into and chew foods more easily, increasing your variety of food options. If you are curious about the benefits dentures can offer you, we encourage you to set up a consultation appointment at our Pekin office.
