Choosing the right set of artificial teeth for your mouth can be hard, but our qualified dental experts can help you reach the best decision. At our Manteca, CA, practice, we offer 3 main types of dentures: partial, complete, and implant-supported.

Partial Dentures
They are ideal for those patients who have lost a few or more teeth within the same arch. Partial dentures have an acrylic base that supports a set of artificial teeth. They also have metal wires or clasps that loop around healthy teeth for additional support and retention. They are removable; thus, you can take them off easily for cleaning and maintenance.

Complete Dentures
These dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Whether you have lost all your teeth due to aging, trauma, or oral disease, they can efficiently replace the full set of teeth to restore your smile and functions. Like partials, they are also removable and can be taken off with ease. They have an acrylic or metal base that completely relies on the support of your jawbone. We custom-fabricate them from high-quality material to ensure a natural-looking fit.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are an excellent choice for those who want a permanent replacement for an entire arch of missing teeth. They rely on the support of 4 to 6 dental implants that are inserted into the jawbone. The implant fuse with the bone and provide sturdy support to the dental prosthesis. Because they are fixed, you can eat all your favorite meals without worrying about them falling out.

Several factors need to be taken into account when planning a treatment plan for missing teeth. Our Manteca, CA, team will perform a thorough clinical and radiographic assessment of your oral cavity to select the best dentures for your needs. The type of denture depends upon the following: 

• The number of missing teeth
• History of bone loss and the amount of remaining bone thickness
• Age and lifestyle factors
• Overall oral hygiene
• Presence of medical conditions
• Facial structure and support

Based on these factors, we will decide whether you will benefit from a partial, complete, or implant-supported denture.
