Dentures
At Dental Doctors of NJ P.C., we understand that while we all hope to keep our natural teeth for life, it’s not always possible. If you're missing some or all of your teeth, our experienced Belleville NJ dentist can help you regain function, comfort, and confidence with high-quality, custom-made dentures. Thanks to advancements in dental materials and technology, modern dentures are more comfortable, durable, and lifelike than ever before.
Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or all of them, there’s no age limit when it comes to getting dentures. At Dental Doctors of NJ P.C., Dr. Fynn-Nyktas will help determine which type of denture suits your needs and build a personalized treatment plan just for you. Dr. Flynn-Nyktas offers a variety of denture options:
- Complete Dentures: Designed to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, sitting securely on the gums.
- Partial Dentures: Replace several missing teeth and are anchored to your remaining natural teeth using clasps or attachments.
- Overdentures: Secured to existing tooth roots or dental implants for added stability.
- Implant Overdentures: Supported by surgically placed dental implants for a more secure and long-lasting fit.
Types of Dentures We Offer
- Conventional Dentures: Rest on the gums and replace an entire arch of missing teeth.
- Conventional Overdentures: Similar to full dentures but use remaining roots or implants for added support.
- Implant Overdentures: Attached to dental implants for enhanced fit and function.
- Conventional Partial Dentures: Replace several missing teeth and are held in place by surrounding teeth.
- Precision & Semi-Precision Partial Dentures: Use attachments instead of clasps for a more natural look and feel.
What to Expect from the Denture Process
Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam by our trusted Belleville NJ dentist. Depending on your oral health, we may recommend additional treatments like:
- Tooth extractions for severely damaged teeth
- Fillings to remove decay
- Impressions of your mouth for a precise fit
- Implant placement for overdentures
Our goal is to ensure your dentures fit comfortably, function properly, and look natural.
Adjusting to Life with Dentures
Getting used to new dentures takes time and patience. Early on, you might notice:
- A full feeling in your mouth or face
- Slight speech changes—practice enunciating to adjust faster
- Chewing challenges—start with soft foods and gradually introduce more solid options
