Losing teeth can have a significant impact on your ability to eat and speak, as well as on the appearance of your smile. At Contemporary Dental Arts, we are dedicated to helping our patients restore the function and beauty of their smiles, even in cases of irreversible dental decay or damage. While we always strive to save your natural teeth whenever possible, dentures are an excellent solution for those who are missing some or all of their teeth. Dr. Matthew Warlick, Dr. Wrany Southard, and our team are proud to offer custom-made dentures to help you regain a confident and complete smile.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They are crafted to fit your mouth comfortably and securely, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with ease. Our Tulsa dental office provides two main types of removable dentures to meet our patients' needs:
Complete (Full) Dentures
If you are missing all of the teeth in a full dental arch, a complete denture is the ideal solution. A full denture consists of a gum-colored base that fits over your gums, with a full set of replacement teeth attached. Depending on your needs, we can create a complete denture for either your upper or lower arch, or both. We can also provide guidance on the use of denture adhesives for added stability and security.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is used when you are missing multiple teeth but still have some natural teeth remaining. The denture is designed to fill the gaps in your smile, and it often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to your existing natural teeth for a secure and comfortable fit.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can dramatically improve your quality of life by:
- Restoring your functional smile. Dentures allow you to properly chew and speak, making essential daily activities more comfortable.
- Enhancing the appearance of the smile. Dentures restore the natural volume of your face, which can prevent a sunken or aged appearance, and give you a beautiful, complete smile.
- Boosting confidence. With a strong, complete smile, you can feel more confident in your ability to eat, speak, smile, and laugh with ease.
