There are many benefits of having dentures, both physically and mentally. Today’s custom-made dentures are more comfortable and durable than in years past, and they can transform your health. Dentures can: 

Enhance Your Appearance

Nothing adds to your appearance like a beautiful, healthy smile, thanks to dentures.

Boost Your Self-Esteem

No more hiding your smile! Dentures can give you a natural-looking and functional smile you’re proud of. 

Help You Bite and Chew Easily Again

It can be difficult or painful to eat certain foods with missing teeth, and dentures restore comfort and chewing function.

Provide Support for Facial Features 

Tooth loss results in a lack of support for facial features like lips and cheeks and contributes to a saggy, sunken appearance. Dentures fill out the face and restore a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Improve Your Speech

Tooth loss makes it difficult to form certain words, but replacing missing teeth with dentures helps you speak clearly again. 

Easy to Remove

You can remove your dentures easily for quick and thorough cleaning. The better you take care of your dentures, the longer they will last without discoloration or wear. 

Improve Your Oral Health

Missing teeth can force existing teeth to shift in the mouth, cause misalignment, and put additional stress on the remaining teeth. This, in turn, can wreak havoc on your oral health; however, dentures can correct this problem substantially. 

Our team at Frontier Dental Ohio offers comprehensive restorations for patients who have decayed, missing, or broken teeth. Whether you are missing only a few teeth or a whole set, we can help you determine the best dentures for your smile

Everyone wants a confident smile, regardless of age. A complete removable denture consists of carefully crafted artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base. Dentures are appropriate if you are missing all teeth in your lower arch, upper arch, or both, depending on the number of teeth remaining. The best results are obtained when you have a matching set of upper and lower dentures. This way, we can control where you put the teeth and how they bite down.

Benefits of Complete Dentures

• Cost is less than implant dentures
• Look great
• Can be completed quickly
• Can only be used in situations when you have good bone
• Complicating factors might require implant placements

Categories of Complete Dentures

Conventional Dentures

The first step for conventional dentures is the removal of remaining teeth at least two months before your new denture is crafted. In some cases, patients come to us with teeth that they have lost for several years. When dentures are made several weeks after teeth are extracted or if the teeth are not there, a better result can be obtained. This timing allows for the healing of the extraction site so we can fix the denture accurately on stable tissue and ensure a precise fit. 

Some patients prefer this route because it gives them a more stable denture. Some patients do not like this option and request that they have dentures made on the day their teeth are extracted. These are called immediate dentures. 

Immediate Dentures

These dentures are inserted the day all the teeth are extracted from your mouth. The dentures are made before your day of surgery, where you have several appointments to determine where to put the teeth. Immediate dentures are ideal for patients who do not want to go without their teeth during healing.

The drawback of this procedure is that the denture will not fit optimally after the surgery as the gums are bleeding and swollen. These dentures, therefore, need several relines until your gums are fully healed. We ask all our patients to use these dentures until their gums are completely healed up, at which point a new complete denture should be made. Many of our patients opt for this

We custom-design partial dentures for patients who do not need to replace all upper or lower teeth as a complete denture does. Partials are made out of acrylic, metal, or flexible resin, which has become more popular.

These are great options to replace several of your missing teeth if you cannot afford implants to replace the multiple. However, all remaining teeth must be in good condition and strong enough to hook clips and components in place and share the load of dentures with the gums.

Immediate Dentures Placed after Extraction

Immediate dentures can be either complete or partial dentures. If we extract a single tooth and need to wait while you save up for a dental implant, an immediate denture is a very efficient and affordable option.

Due to changes in the mouth and jaws after tooth extraction, we will need to reline Immediate dentures several times to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable function. The more teeth we remove, the more relines we will need to perform.

Also, the condition of your teeth before extraction is critical. If your teeth are in bad shape, you will need another set of dentures when your gums are all healed up. This is our recommendation.

Fixed Hybrid Dentures Use Implants for Stability

Fixed hybrid dentures are a modern, state-of-the-art solution that has completely changed how prosthodontists approach replacing a full set of missing teeth.

These dentures, sometimes referred to as All-on-4® dentures are “fixed” because they are attached to dental implants anchored in the jawbone. Fixed hybrid dentures are acrylic with a metal core or framework for strength and rigidity, and you do not need to remove them at night. 

To place a hybrid denture, we first need to place the implant and allow about four months for it to heal and integrate with the jawbone. The final fixed dentures are made after healing is complete.

Our flat-rate fee for hybrid dentures includes:

• Removing existing teeth and placing all implants, components, and parts
• Providing a set of temporary dentures on the day of surgery
• Placing the final restoration—typically a denture—three to four months after implant placement

Over the past decade, the success of fixed hybrid dentures has been scientifically proven and documented with favorable clinical outcomes and results.

Cosmetic Dentures Improve Facial Appearance Cosmetic Dentures

The aging process and loss of teeth can lead to a shortened face, which causes wrinkles because of a natural compression of facial features. With cosmetic dentures done by Dr. Karunagaran, we can help you resolve aesthetic concerns and avoid the common risks associated with more invasive procedures.

Cosmetic dentures can reduce some of the effects of aging, but they are often used in combination with cosmetic surgery. These dentures increase facial height and support and fill out the face to prevent a shrunken facial appearance.

Everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. With our denture packages in Medina, OH, you can get the smile you have always wanted!

These options are for patients without dental insurance and those with dental insurance that we are not listed with. Do not worry, as we will still file a claim for you with your insurance company to get the most reimbursement from your insurance company for you.

Because we provide quality dental services at this office, produce quality products, and use quality dental labs and materials, our fee may be higher in some instances.
