Dentures
Dentures help to restore a patient’s smile and the ability to chew and speak clearly after some or all teeth are lost. At Apple Dental care, we pride ourselves on using the revolutionary injection molded process to fabricate our complete and partial dentures, resulting in the highest strength, durability and esthetics. We also specialize in fabricating complete or partial overdentures, where we use dental implants to anchor the denture more effectively providing our patients with a greater sense of comfort with better function.
There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Apple Dental Care will help you choose the type of denture that's best for you based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved.
Complete dentures
A complete denture is a removable prosthesis that replaces all teeth within an arch, thus some patients have only an upper denture, some only a lower and some have both upper and lower complete dentures. Advantages of complete dentures
- Least costly treatment for replacing all teeth in an entire arch
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Shortest treatment time from start to finish
Implant supported denture
Fixed dentures are attached to implants. The colour of the acrylic matches and appears like the gums. They are convenient to use, prevent bone loss and are effective for chewing and speaking. They can replace multiple missing teeth and preserve the harmony of the environment inside the mouth. They also prevent the sinking in of the cheeks and the aged appearance which comes with the loss of teeth and keeps you looking younger. In case of these implant-supported dentures, the dentures rest on the implants facilitating additional retention. These dentures can be removed by patients for cleaning purposes.
