Do you need to replace some or all of your teeth due to dental trauma or gum disease? Consider dentures! Modern dentures are nothing like the clunky dentures of the past. Advances in denture technology have made these restorations more functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing than ever. If you live in Maple Grove, Minnesota, or surrounding communities, you can come to Weimar Family and Implant Dentistry for quality dentures to replace lost teeth.
Dentures comprise a metal or acrylic frame (plate) and artificial teeth. The teeth are made primarily out of acrylic resin or porcelain material. Acrylic dentures are lightweight, comfortable to wear, easy to use, and economical. However, they tend to have a short lifespan of roughly five to eight years.
Porcelain dentures last longer than acrylic dentures, are easy to adjust to, and closely resemble the color and sheen of natural teeth for a natural-looking appearance. Porcelain dentures do have a few drawbacks. They’re pretty fragile and can chip or break easily if accidentally dropped on hard flooring. Their hard composition can also wear down natural teeth when biting and chewing. That’s why they’re mainly used for full dentures that replace all your teeth.
If you’re looking for an economical yet efficient means of restoring your smile, you can’t go wrong with dentures. Traditional (removable) dentures don’t require surgery, making them more cost-effective than implants. They can be completed fairly quickly, so you don’t have to wait months for your new teeth.
If you’re replacing several teeth in a row, Dr. Weimar will create partial dentures for your use. To replace all of your teeth, we’ll custom-craft natural-looking full dentures to create a functional and pleasing smile.
Dentures eliminate gaps in your smile, making it easier to bite and chew. They also make your smile complete, giving you a reason to smile again.
