Dentures in Seattle

What is Denture?

A denture is a prosthetic, removable device that replaces missing teeth. It is supported by soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity as well as implants.

When to use Dentures?

You may experience tooth loss from a variety of reasons including tooth decay, severe gum disease, or via a traumatic injury. Subsequently, tooth loss leads to an inability to chew properly, a sagging facial appearance, or may make you look older.

If a lost tooth is not replaced, then its adjacent teeth may move, shift, bend, or tilt over time. This results in more stress on your jaws and teeth.

Dentures is one of the options to consider for replacing missing teeth. Increasingly, Dentures are used in conjunction with Implants for better outcomes.

Benefits

Dentures has many benefits such as enabling patients to chew better, speak with confidence, and improve your natural appearance. Importantly, it leads to a better quality of life.

Different Types of Dentures

We offer a comprehensive range of Dentures – Traditional Dentures, Overdentures, and Hybrid Dentures.

When a patient has no bone remaining for Implants to be considered an option or if a low-cost alternative is needed, we consider using Traditional Dentures. These dentures can be removed, cleaned, and reinserted. Also, these dentures can replace a few teeth (Partial Denture) or all your teeth (Full Denture).

When a Traditional Denture is considered to replace some or all the teeth, we recommend using Implants in conjunction for better stability and retention. These removable, implant-supported dentures are known as Overdentures.

In the case where patients prefer not to have removable dentures, we consider using more Implants along with Dentures that are fixed to those Implants. This increasingly popular option is known as Hybrid Dentures. It is also called as All-on-4 or Fixed Detachables.
