Dr. Antalis and our skilled team proudly serve patients in Cambridge, OH, and the southeastern Ohio region, providing personalized denture options tailored to your specific needs.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding oral tissues. They are typically made from natural-looking materials like acrylic, resin, or porcelain, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural teeth. As artificial teeth, dentures are crucial in restoring your smile’s functionality and aesthetics.

Once your dentures are completed, you can eat, speak, and smile confidently. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or all of them, dentures can help restore your oral health and facial structure. There are many types of dentures, and Dr. Antalis will discuss the pros and cons of each one.

Full and Partial Dentures

Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw or both. They rest directly on the gums and are held in place through suction or denture adhesive. Removable partial dentures are used when you have some remaining teeth. They consist of an acrylic or metal framework that attaches to the existing teeth, filling in the gaps created by missing teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For those seeking an even more secure and stable denture experience, Dr. Antalis might recommend implant-supported dentures. These dentures utilize dental implants, tiny metal posts surgically placed into the jawbone, to anchor the dentures firmly in place.

Implant-supported dentures offer unparalleled stability, eliminating concerns about slippage or discomfort. With this type of denture, you can confidently enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without worrying about your dentures moving.

How Do Implant Supported Dentures Work?

This process begins with the surgical placement of dental implants into your jawbone. These implants, typically made of titanium, act as artificial tooth roots, fusing with your jawbone over time through osseointegration.

Once the implants fully integrate with your jawbone, they create a strong foundation for your custom-made dentures. The dentures are designed with special attachments that connect securely to the implants, ensuring they remain firmly in place, even while speaking and eating.

Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures

Opting for implant-supported dentures has numerous advantages, significantly enhancing comfort and oral health compared to traditional dentures. Here are some key benefits:

• Enhanced Comfort: Implant-supported dentures eliminate the discomfort often associated with traditional dentures, which can sometimes rub against your gums.
• Improved Chewing Ability: Experience the freedom to eat a wider variety of foods easily and confidently, knowing your dentures will remain secure.
• Preservation of Bone Structure: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
• Improved Oral Health: The stability of implant-supported dentures makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene, reducing your risk of gum disease and other dental problems.

Dr. Antalis has extensive experience in implant dentistry and can determine if implant-supported dentures are the right option for you during your consultation.
