Are Dentures Right for Me?

People are reluctant to wear dentures. Of course, natural teeth are best, but, if your own teeth are cracked, shifting, painful and heavily decayed, it may be time to consider these tooth replacements. At ParkLin Dental in Katonah, NY, dentists, Dr. Enyoung Park and Dr. Terry Mouth DenturesLin, craft and place lifelike and highly functional dentures. Have the facial appearance and oral function you deserve.

Get Healthy

Your oral health impacts the rest of your body. Sometimes, oral injury severely compromises dentition. Cracked teeth are subject to decay and abscess, and missing teeth create unsightly gaps which weaken any remaining teeth.

Unfortunately, dental extraction may be the only alternative. If so, partial or full dentures can restore oral function and appearance to your smile. Plus, your health will improve significantly.

How Dentures Work

Your Katonah, NY, dentist will help you arrive at a workable denture solution. Whether you are missing just a few teeth or even all of them, Dr. Park or Dr. Lin will evaluate your situation and give you the best choices for your smile.

Creating and fitting dentures always involves X-ray imaging and oral impressions. Dr. Park or Dr. Lin will consider your bite and overall facial appearance. Then, they can offer the following denture types when appropriate:

  • Full conventional dentures replace a complete arch of teeth. Crafted from realistic tooth and gum-colored acrylic, these prosthetics stay in place when crafted and fitted accurately.
  • Immediate dentures, as the name indicates, are placed immediately after tooth extractions. They actually help heal the gums and bone because of the pressure they exert on these tissues and allow a patient to leave ParkLin Dental with a complete smile. Immediate dentures lose their fit over time, however, they must be relined or remade.
  • Partial dentures fill smile gaps the way a puzzle piece completes a jigsaw puzzle. Composed of acrylic teeth on a metal frame, a partial clips to remaining natural teeth.
  • Implant-supported dentures provide excellent smile appearance and optimal biting and chewing. No slippage, no adhesives, and no sore spots make implant dentures the best option for many people who have substantial tooth loss. The prosthetic itself is anchored into the jaw with two, four or more titanium implants as needed.
