Dentures are a practical and long-standing solution to tooth loss. And we offer various options for dentures in Topeka, including:
- Full dentures
- Partial dentures
- Implant-supported dentures
And we always start you with a consultation to ensure dentures are right for you. If they are unsuitable, the dentist will explain why and discuss alternative treatments, such as dental implants or bridges. Considerations include jawbone density to support the denture and your preferences for tooth replacement. The goal is to restore your smile in a lasting and functional way.
Dentures and Implant-Supported Dentures in Topeka, KS
Full dentures stand in for complete tooth loss, while partial dentures complete your smile when tooth loss is more sporadic. Both rely on suction, gravity, and the bony structures of the jaw for stability. However, a partial denture also depends on healthy teeth and special clips for support.
Your dentist also offers implant-retained dentures. This solution means a denture fixed to the jaw with four to six dental implants in Topeka. This method is the perfect solution for patients who want dental implant technology but don’t want to purchase a single implant for each lost tooth. It is also ideal for denture wearers who want a more secure prosthetic.
Denture Repair, Replacement, and Relines with Us
Denture repair can mean many things. In the broadest sense, it can be any time you bring your denture into our dental office to enhance its fit, function, or other aspects. It can also mean repairing damage.
For example, if the prosthetic feels loose, which happens over time, we may address the fit with a reline. This may mean talking to your dentist about a professional denture cleaning or replacement. Some patients like upgrading their dentures to modern, more aesthetically pleasing prosthetics.
In other cases, a crack or chip in the denture may require attention. Repairing cracked dentures is essential because the fault can spread until the prosthetic breaks or provide a pocket for bacteria to collect, leading to oral health complications or bad breath.
