Hi there! Are you missing teeth and wondering whether dentures are right for you? Robert L. Holloway, DDS of Noblesville, Indiana, is here to tell you how dentures can help you regain your smile and confidence. 

Dentures have been around for centuries and have undergone tremendous advancements to look and function like natural teeth. Unlike the type you saw your grandma wear, modern dentures placed by a dentist like Dr. Robert Holloway are comfortable, natural-looking, and functional.

Denture options at our office

Dentures can either be fixed or removable. Whatever the option you opt for, dentures have a massive impact on your oral health and confidence. Several denture types exist, depending on your budget and oral needs. Sometimes, the location—lower or upper jaw—matters. While this may be overwhelming, we’ll discuss it in detail to help determine your ideal restoration.

Dentures are broadly categorized into two types:

• Complete dentures: These are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth in one arch or both. A complete denture consists of natural-looking artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. Conventional dentures remain secure in the mouth with the help of suction or adhesives. However, as you age, your jawbone may lose its density, causing your restoration to lose its grip. You can overcome this flaw by opting for implant dentures. These dentures are anchored in the jawbone to offer optimal stability when using your teeth
• Partial dentures: When you have lost some teeth and have healthy ones remaining, you don’t need a complete set of dentures. Partials fill the toothless gap using a set of prosthetic teeth secured to the adjoining teeth with metal clasps. Partial dentures are removable for easier cleaning and maintenance, but you can opt for implant partials for added stability

Dentures are a cost-effective way to improve your smile and oral health. The treatment is also non-invasive, providing a quick and hassle-free solution for tooth loss.
