Most people don’t realize that there are three main types of dentures and denture implants, all which are available in Binghamton NY. Partials, complete and immediate dentures are all available, along with the denture implants are all choices, and you may be a candidate for one or all of the options available to you.
Partials
A partial denture is used when you have one or more teeth missing or even if you have lost most of your teeth. If the rest of your teeth are in good repair, you can prolong the life of those teeth and don’t have to go through the discomfort of having the good teeth removed in order to have a complete set of dentures. Partials are a great alternative because they are made from metal and cement and can look like your natural teeth.
Complete
Complete dentures are for those in Binghamton NY that have lost most or all of their teeth. Partials require surrounding teeth to keep the partial in place, so if you have lost all or most of your teeth, you may not be a good candidate for partials and may need to have your natural teeth removed and a complete set of dentures in their place.
Dentures can help you speak well, eat and chew better and have an authentic-looking smile, which is why most people prefer them.
Immediate
Immediate dentures are both partials and complete sets. If you have a tooth emergency and require a full set of teeth for a special event or for some other reason, immediate dentures can be made to fit your needs for a short period until a more permanent option can be created for you.
Denture Implants
Denture implants are another option for people in Binghamton NY, and many people think they are superior to dentures. Either choice will take a lot of work on the dentist’s part and will take getting used to on your part. With implants, the gums are drilled into, and the metalwork is placed within the tooth area. Once you have healed from this surgery, the tooth can be created and placed onto the steel posts. This can provide a more natural feeling, but will be a longer procedure and will require surgery.
Dentures in Binghamton NY may cause you to cringe or worry, but they are quite common in the modern world and usually not noticeable. Visit New York Dental Group to determine the best denture options for you.
