Dentures
Dentures are made to replace missing teeth. They can be partial dentures which replace one or more teeth or a full denture which replaces a full arch of teeth. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages and help you decide which option is best for you.
Dentures at Lakes Dental Tauriko
Restore Your Confidence with Dentures
Replacing missing teeth with dentures can significantly enhance your smile, improve your speech and eating abilities, and support your facial muscles. At Lakes Dental Tauriko, located at 200 Lakes Boulevard in Tauriko, we offer a range of denture options tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are designed to replace all the teeth in either your upper or lower jaw. Crafted from high-quality acrylic, our full dentures can be customized to match the appearance you desire, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Immediate Placement: Full dentures can be placed immediately after the removal of teeth, allowing you to leave our clinic with your new dentures on the same day.
- Delayed Placement: Alternatively, dentures can be fitted a few weeks after tooth removal. Delayed placement allows your jawbone time to heal and remodel, which can enhance the fit and comfort of your dentures.
- Realignment Needs: Whether you choose immediate or delayed dentures, they may require realignment to achieve the perfect fit and optimal comfort.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for replacing a few missing teeth and are supported by the remaining natural teeth. At Lakes Dental Tauriko, we offer partial dentures made from either acrylic or a durable metal framework. In some cases, a hybrid of acrylic and metal may be necessary to ensure the best fit and functionality.
- Customized Fit: Before creating your partial dentures, our dentists thoroughly examine all existing teeth to ensure they are healthy and suitable for supporting partial dentures.
- Aesthetic and Functional Benefits: Partial dentures not only restore the appearance of your smile but also maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting and ensuring proper bite function.
