Dentures

Are you or a loved one struggling with missing teeth, making it challenging to smile confidently and enjoy your favorite foods? Dentures are a remarkable dental solution that can restore your oral health and revitalize your quality of life. At Kiefer Family Dental, we specialize in creating custom dentures tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a comfortable fit and a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They consist of a set of artificial teeth mounted on a pink or gum-colored base, which is customized to fit snugly in your mouth. Dentures can be partial, replacing a few missing teeth, or full, when you’ve lost all of your natural teeth.

Why Are Dentures Needed?

1. Restoring Functionality: Missing teeth can make it challenging to chew food, affecting your nutrition and overall health. Dentures allow you to eat a wide range of foods comfortably, improving your diet and well-being.

2. Enhancing Aesthetics: A confident smile is a significant part of your self-esteem and social interactions. Dentures can replicate the appearance of natural teeth, boosting your confidence and self-image.

3. Maintaining Oral Health: Gaps from missing teeth can cause remaining teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and other dental issues. Dentures fill these gaps, supporting your oral health and preventing further problems.

4. Improved Speech: Missing teeth can alter your speech, causing difficulties in pronunciation. Dentures help you speak clearly and confidently, enhancing your communication skills.

5. Facial Support: Loss of teeth can lead to sagging facial muscles, making you appear older. Dentures provide support, helping maintain your facial structure and a youthful appearance.

Types of Dentures Offered at Kiefer Family Dental

1. Complete Dentures: For patients with no remaining natural teeth, complete dentures replace the entire upper or lower arch.

2. Partial Dentures: When some natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill in the gaps, restoring both function and aesthetics.

3. Immediate Dentures: These are temporary dentures inserted immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to maintain your smile throughout the healing process.

4. Implant-Supported Dentures: For added stability and comfort, we offer implant-supported dentures that are anchored securely to dental implants.
