Dentures and Partials in Appleton

Living with the loss of multiple teeth is devastating for several reasons. Chewing and eating the foods you usually enjoy becomes challenging, frustrating, and sometimes even painful.

Smiling, talking, and communicating with others may feel embarrassing because of gaps in your smile or compromised teeth. This may result in you hiding your smile and appearing unapproachable or unfriendly. 

Dentures are ideal for restoring multiple missing teeth, even if you need to replace an entire arch.

A full or complete denture is designed to restore a whole arch of upper or lower teeth. A traditional denture is removable and relies on fit or adhesives to stay in place.

If you're thinking of the dentures your grandmother wore, think again! Today's dentures are customized and designed with your unique features in mind, taking into consideration skin tone and facial structure to create just the right look.

We aim to give you a natural, beautiful, and functional smile you can be proud of!

A partial denture replaces a few missing teeth but allows you to maintain your natural teeth that are still healthy. The partial relies on metal or plastic clasps that attach and anchor to healthy teeth. The appliance has strategically placed prosthetic teeth to fill the gaps in your smile.

Dr. Hareid designs your partial with natural-looking porcelain prosthetic teeth that blend flawlessly with your smile and provide renewed chewing function.

Another option for denture wearers who don't want to worry about removing their appliance is an implant-supported denture.

We can use strategically placed dental implants to secure a denture designed to snap into them. The implants provide stability, holding the denture securely so there is no movement or slippage during talking, eating, smiling, or laughing. This makes eating easier and gives the denture wearer peace of mind. 

Dental implants also provide the additional advantage of keeping your jawbone stimulated so you don't experience the bone loss that generally accompanies a traditional denture, eliminating the need for denture relines and refitting. A stronger, healthier jawbone means better longevity for your denture.

Imagine being able to talk, smile, chew, and eat with the confidence you once had!

But dentures restore more than just your smile, facial structure, and confidence. They give you back your ability to chew, eat, and enjoy the foods you love again, improving your nutrition. Dentures can increase and enhance your quality of life!
