Discover the Confidence of a New Smile with Modern Dentures
Modern dentures restore more than just missing teeth — they restore confidence, comfort, and the joy of everyday moments. Today’s dentures look natural, feel secure, and function beautifully. At Lakeside Dental, expert care and personalized options ensure tailored solutions for replacing missing teeth. Our dentures fit your lifestyle and bring your smile back to life!
Types of Dentures
There are three main denture options that we offer at Lakeside Dental.
Conventional Dentures
Conventional dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth after gums heal from any necessary extractions. These custom dentures rest on the gums, providing a natural appearance and improved chewing ability.
The conventional denture process begins with a consultation and appointment that includes measurements and a mold of your mouth to create your custom dentures. After you receive your custom dentures, our team makes any adjustments necessary to give you a personalized fit. With proper care, conventional dentures last 5-7 years or more without significant modifications.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures provide same-day replacement following tooth extraction. These temporary dentures snap onto healing gums and allow our patients to leave the office with a full set of teeth. These snap-on dentures help you maintain your appearance, protect your gum tissue, support normal speaking and chewing, and provide a good template for creating your final dentures.
While allowing time (a few months) for your gums to stabilize, your final, custom dentures are created. Once the time is right, your immediate dentures are replaced with a final set of custom dentures to ensure a precise, long-term fit.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures offer the most secure, stable option for dentures while preserving the jawbone structure and improving chewing strength. The process begins with installing dental implants at strategic places in your jaw to anchor your custom denture in place, eliminating any slippage or discomfort from loose dentures.
- For the lower arch 2-4 implants are placed in the front portion of the lower jaw.
- For the upper arch 4-6 implants are placed across the arch for the best denture fit.
Following implant placement, a healing period of 3-6 months is recommended before the attachment of a custom denture. The time is worth it! With proper care, your implant dentures improve your quality of life for 10-20+ years!
Which Denture Option Fits You?
Choosing the right denture depends on lifestyle, oral health, and personal preference. Conventional dentures work well for patients seeking a simple, removable solution. Immediate dentures serve those who want to maintain their appearance through the denture process. Implant supported dentures suit individuals who want maximum stability and long-term oral health benefits.
