We Replace Missing Teeth with High-quality Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partials in Holt, Michigan, are affordable and conservative solutions for replacing missing teeth. They are often called “false teeth,” but this doesn’t mean they have to look unnatural. Dr. Edward Liu Sedation and Implant Dentistry combines high-quality materials with an eye for artistry to place some of the most natural-looking dentures. Whether you have lost teeth to injury, decay, or disease, schedule an appointment with Dr. Edward Liu to get the healthy, complete smile you’ve always wanted.
What are the denture options available?
Our denture options provide a solution for every smile. Whether you have lost one or multiple teeth, our dental office has something for everyone.
Our denture options include:
- Complete dentures: All of the missing teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches are replaced by these dentures. Their realistic appearance is achieved by mounting prosthetic teeth on a base colored like gum tissue. Dentures can be saddled directly onto the gums (removable dentures) or attached to implants placed strategically in the mouth.
- Partials: Partials work like dental bridges. They replace a few missing teeth by using the surrounding natural teeth as anchors. A partial is custom-designed to fit seamlessly into the edentulous space and is secured in place with detachable metalwork clipped to the adjacent teeth.
Regardless of the denture type, every procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Liu. A full exam helps to determine whether dentures are the best restoration. If so, the dentist scans your mouth precisely to create dentures that fit snugly over your mouth contours.
What is denture stabilization?
Conventional dentures are secured in the mouth with natural suction and adhesives. Unfortunately, these mechanisms aren’t the best. Over time, your dentures may become unstable and uncomfortable. Dr. Liu has an innovative method of helping you enjoy dentures without feeling as if you are wearing dentures.
Denture stabilization combines the stability of implants and the beauty of dentures to create the ultimate restoration. Implant-supported dentures are restorations that use 4-6 implants to rebuild an entire arch of teeth. Stabilized dentures are more solid when eating and speaking, so don’t expect embarrassing slippages when using your teeth.
How are dentures cared for?
Even the best restorations require maintenance to keep looking and feeling their best. After every meal, rinse removable dentures with lukewarm water to remove saliva, food debris, and harmful bacteria. Gently brush your restorations with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Removable dentures must be removed when sleeping to avoid gum irritations and infections. Put your restorations overnight in water or a denture-cleaning solution.
Implant dentures are cared for like natural teeth because they aren’t removable. Brush them every night and morning with fluoride toothpaste. Use a Waterpik or special dental floss to clean the area between the denture and gum line.
Regardless of the denture type, regular dental visits are a no-miss. These dental check-ups allow the dentist to examine the condition of your restorations and make any necessary adjustments to maintain optimal fit and comfort. The dentist also professionally cleans your dentures to remove stains and plaque deposits.
