Dentures & Partial Dentures

The Perfect Look, The Perfect Fit

If you’ve been missing your teeth for some time now, getting them replaced can bring renewed confidence and take years off your appearance. It will feel great to have your smile back. Though no one wants to lose all their teeth, sometimes there is no other choice.

When replacing missing teeth, you basically have two options: dental implants or dentures. You may click here to visit our dental implants page and learn about that option.

When it comes to dentures and partial dentures in Aurora, IL, we have several options available for you.

Why Choose Sommers Family Dental for Dentures & Partial Dentures?

Complete Removable Dentures

Set of full dentures

When people think of dentures, this is the type that usually comes to mind. You only need these if you are missing all of your teeth. The upper dentures are held in place by suction. The lower dentures rest on the ridge and are assisted in remaining in place by your tongue and cheeks. Though they can vastly improve your appearance, they do have limitations. In order to make a truly informed decision, you need to know their downsides as well.

Limitations of complete dentures:

Partial Dentures

When you have several missing teeth, but still have some healthy teeth left, partial dentures are a good option. The replacement teeth are attached to a removable appliance. This appliance is attached to your remaining teeth by a framework typically made of metal. We offer a couple of different types of partials: flexible all-acrylic or a combination of acrylic and cast.

Implant Overdentures

An overdenture is a denture made to be over either your natural teeth or dental implants. When using natural teeth, it merely rests on them, adding a little bit of stability. It is even more secure when it is made over dental implants. Dental implants are placed directly into your jawbone. The dentures are attached to the implant with either snaps or screws. These are very pragmatic because they can directly address all the limitations that have to be dealt with when wearing complete dentures. They aid in securing the dentures to your jawbone, so not only will you no longer have to worry about your dentures falling out, but the implants help protect you from facial collapse. More implants bring increased security, but overdentures can use as few as two implants.
