Enjoy natural-looking full dentures with Quincy, MA dental service

When we think of full dentures for tooth replacement, our grandparents’ dentures might come to mind. In the past, dentures have been known for being ill-fitting and unnatural looking. Fortunately, improvements in the denture service now focus on not only creating function dentures but creating natural-looking dentures. Dr. Stephen Matarazzo and his team in Quincy, MA are committed to ensuring patients have access to dental solutions that are aesthetic and functional.

What are full dentures?

Full dentures are acrylic appliances that are used to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These restorations are custom-made for patients. If patients have remaining teeth on the upper or lower arch, the new denture is made to ensure the false teeth look just like the patient’s existing teeth. Additionally, patients have options when it comes to keeping their dentures in place, outside of traditional denture adhesives. Many patients ask their dentist about the advantages of using dental implants along the arch to secure the dentures in place. These implant-supported dentures ensure a proper fit and eliminate dental work that may cover the roof of the mouth and make dentures difficult to adjust to.

Who is a candidate for full dentures?

Full dentures are the most effective way for patients to replace all the teeth of the dental arch. These removal appliances are fabricated using impressions of the gumline to ensure proper fit.

What are the benefits of full dentures?

Full dentures are:

• Natural-looking
• Economical
• Long-lasting
• Custom-made
• Functional
• Versatile

What if I still have a few teeth in the dental arch?

While partial dentures are often a solution for patients who have not lost all their teeth in the arch, some patients choose to move forward with full dentures by having the existing teeth extracted. This may be a solution for patients who have further issues with the remaining teeth, including bone loss or large cavities that are beyond repair.
