309-691-8033Restore Your Beautiful Smile with New Dentures from the Smile Center
Whether due to illness, accidents or age, the teeth in your mouth can begin to decay, fall out, or require removal. Yet, once those teeth are gone, what goes in their place? Unfortunately, once your adult teeth grow in, nothing else comes in behind them! Thankfully, if you wish to keep or restore your smile after teeth loss, it’s possible. Dentures are one of the best solutions for replacing your teeth when you’re missing some or all of them. The Smile Center of Peoria can mold the perfect set of dentures for your mouth, almost as if you never lost your teeth in the first place!
What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding gums and tissue. With a well-fitting set of dentures, patients can restore the look of their natural teeth and gums, creating the appearance of a complete set of teeth and providing additional support for their jaw and facial muscles. The Smile Center takes detailed measurements and molds of your mouth to ensure your new dentures fit perfectly. Here are the different types of dentures we might recommend:
- Complete Dentures – These dentures replace all teeth in one or both arches (upper or lower). They rest on top of your gums, suctioning into place with saliva, forming a tight seal to keep them from moving.
- Partial Dentures – If you still have some of your natural teeth, partial dentures can fill in the gaps. They attach to your remaining teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These are attached to dental implants surgically placed into your jawbone for a more secure fit. This can prevent slipping and provide a more natural feel when eating and speaking.
Why Invest in New Dentures?
Dentures do more than improve the appearance of your mouth. In fact, dentures help contribute to your mouth’s health and complete dental hygiene. If you are missing a significant amount of teeth and don’t opt for some form of replacement, you risk additional health issues later down the line. Here are just a few of the reasons why an investment in dentures is so beneficial:
- Improved Chewing and Digestion – With dentures, you’re able to chew food more thoroughly, which aids in digestion and can lead to better nutritional absorption.
- Enhanced Speech – Missing teeth can affect your speech by making it difficult to pronounce certain words. Dentures help restore normal speech patterns, making communication easier.
- Jawbone and Facial Support – Dentures provide essential support to facial muscles, helping to maintain your face shape and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth.
- Increased Self-Confidence – A complete smile can boost your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.
- Better Oral Health – By replacing missing teeth, dentures help maintain the spacing and alignment of remaining teeth, keeping your oral cavity healthier.
