Modern and precision-fit dentures look like attractive, healthy, natural teeth – not “false,” plastic, or fake. They also promote the most honest and sustained function. You’ll smile and laugh confidently, knowing that your perfect-fit dentures are not going anywhere! You’ll be able to eat all sorts of foods without fear of embarrassing slippage, and you’ll speak freely again, knowing that your denture won’t pop out or alter how you pronounce words.
Crowns Now Family Dentistry has never had so many different types of dentures to offer to patients in Greenville, South Carolina, Greer, Irmo, Woodruff, and the surrounding area. With 30-plus years of experience, our doctors customize treatment based partly on the number of teeth that are missing or need to be extracted.
For example, traditional partial dentures (“partials”) to replace some or many teeth are made from a plastic-covered metal base with prosthetic teeth. This framework attaches to existing neighboring teeth. Complete dentures are traditionally fabricated as a gum-colored, acrylic base and plastic or porcelain teeth. These dentures depend on natural suction, gravity, and adhesives for stability. So, a proper fit must be maintained for patients to be most satisfied.
Sophisticated dental technologies and science have created an aesthetic, functional, and durable alternative to conventional full and partial dentures. This alternative type of denture is supported or retained by dental implants.
Whereas conventional dentures get support from surrounding soft and hard tissues, implant-supported dentures get support from cylindrical-shaped posts. These posts are made from biocompatible or tissue-friendly materials like titanium and zirconia. Modeled after a naturally healthy tooth, the implant is placed in the jaw, where the material then naturally fuses to the surrounding bone and becomes your new tooth root. Any tooth replacements placed on top of the implant are then stabilized securely in the mouth due to their connection to a post that is quite literally “rooted” in the jawbone.
At Crowns Now Family Dentistry, we are equipped to provide the revolutionary DuraSmile system. This approach to complete dentures for patients with many missing or failing teeth minimizes the typical costs, treatment time, and stressors associated with the implant dentures process. Our team can use as few as four implants to support all replacement teeth in the upper or lower jaw. We can remove any remaining damaged tissue and place a provisional upper or lower denture in just one visit! So, you always have to be seen in public with your teeth.
Our offices in Greenville, Greer, Irmo, and Woodruff, SC, further minimize the expense of restorations, including dentures, by handling these services in-house. Our onsite lab capabilities also provide ultimate in-patient convenience and a pleasant experience. Hybrid dentures or implant-supported overdentures are an excellent investment in your smile and overall health because they are designed to last. They keep the supportive tissues in the jaw strong. So, proper fit is maintained without needing relining, rebasing, or other services.
