DENTURES LAS VEGAS
LONE MOUNTAIN DENTAL
WHAT ARE DENTURES:
At Lone Mountain Dental, our dentures in Las Vegas are custom-made prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
We offer full dentures for patients missing all teeth and partial dentures for those with some remaining natural teeth. Both types are designed for comfort and a natural appearance.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain, or both. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth, and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
It’s important to note that dentures, like natural teeth, will wear over time and may need to be replaced or relined to maintain normal jaw alignment. Regular dental examinations are crucial for denture wearers, as they allow for the early detection of any changes or diseases in the oral tissues.
TYPES OF DENTURES:
At Lone Mountain Dental, we provide the following dentures in Las Vegas:
- Full Dentures: Also known as complete dentures, they are designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. These appliances rest on your gums and rely on the palate or lower jawbone for support. They are made of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, providing a natural appearance. While wearing full dentures, you may need to use denture adhesive for extra stability. Typically, dentures are removed at night for cleaning and to allow your gums to rest, promoting long-term comfort and oral health.
- Partial Dentures: If you’re missing several or most teeth in one or both jaws, partial dentures might be a suitable solution. Unlike full dentures, partial dentures are designed to fill gaps between remaining natural teeth. They rest on your gums for support and include special clasps that attach to adjacent teeth, providing extra stability. This design helps keep the partial denture secure while offering a comfortable fit, restoring function and appearance.
- Immediate dentures: Sometimes, people need tooth extractions before they can wear dentures. An immediate denture is a device you wear right after extractions. In some cases, immediate dentures are temporary appliances. Once you’ve healed, your dentist will replace them with your final dentures. In other cases, you might be able to wear your final denture immediately after surgery.
- Snap-In Dentures: Also known as implant-retained dentures, they attach to dental implants rather than rely solely on your gums and jawbone for support. Dental implants are small posts surgically placed in the jaw to serve as artificial tooth roots. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures “snap” onto the implants, offering enhanced stability without the need for denture adhesive. While they’re removable, like regular dentures, implant-retained dentures provide a more secure fit, making them a popular option for those seeking a reliable and comfortable solution for missing teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: A non-removable option, also known as permanent or hybrid dentures. Unlike other dentures, these are secured permanently to dental implants and can only be removed by a dentist. Implant-supported dentures are ideal for individuals who prefer a fixed solution over removable options like traditional or snap-in dentures. However, they require more diligent daily cleaning, including flossing underneath the denture, to maintain oral hygiene and ensure the longevity of both the implants and the denture itself.
ADVANTAGES OF DENTURES:
Dentures offer numerous benefits, including:
- Improved Appearance: Restores the natural look of your smile.
- Enhanced Function: Allows you to eat and speak comfortably.
- Affordable Solution: Dentures are a cost-effective alternative for tooth replacement, especially compared to implants.
DENTURE CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
To ensure the longevity and comfort of your dentures, clean them daily with a soft toothbrush and mild denture cleanser. Keep them moist when not in use, and schedule regular check-ups at Lone Mountain Dental to maintain fit and comfort. Proper care can extend the life of your dentures and prevent oral issues.
COST AND FINANCING OPTIONS:
The cost of dentures can vary depending on the type and materials used. At Lone Mountain Dental, we offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make dentures accessible to all patients. We’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
