Dentures replace all of the teeth on an upper or lower arch. Typically, dentures are secured with an over-the-counter denture adhesive. Dr. Resuta offers several groundbreaking alternatives to traditional dentures, including implant-supported dentures, All-on-4, and Teeth-in-a-Day.
How are dentures made?
Dr. Resuta will take X-rays, impressions, and precise measurements of your face and mouth. He will also discuss your preferences. Dentures allow us to control the size, shape, and color of your new teeth, potentially giving you the smile you’ve always wanted. After information is collected, Dr. Resuta will work closely with a dental laboratory where a technician will handcraft your custom dentures.
Will dentures look natural?
Modern dental materials like porcelain and acrylic resin make dentures more comfortable and natural looking than ever. Our lab will custom design your dentures to complement your unique facial features, skin tone, and smile goals.
Are there alternatives to removable dentures?
Yes! As an implant dentist, Dr. Resuta offers several options that permanently secure dentures. Dental implants, All-on-4, and Teeth-in-a-Day give patients solid denture stabilization.
All-on-4 Dentures
All-on-4 is a relatively new technique that provides patients with missing teeth a fast, stable, aesthetically pleasing, fixed restoration. Traditionally, 8 to 10 implants secure a denture. All-on-4 eliminates the need for surgery. In just one visit, Dr. Resuta will place four implants to support a porcelain bridge or denture. With 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology, All-on-4 surgery is convenient and rewarding.
Teeth-in-a-Day
Teeth-in-a-Day is a revolutionary new technique created by Branemark that allows patients to receive implants and permanent dentures in a single visit. Regular implant-supported dentures require one or more surgeries and months of healing time. With Teeth-in-a-Day, Dr. Resuta places the three strategically located implants into the lower jaw. The implants are attached to a lower bar, so they’re perfectly parallel. The upper bar is secured; the implants are immediately loaded with prefabricated dentures, and then stabilized. You can walk out of the dentist’s office the same day with a brand new, fully functioning smile.
Teeth-in-a-Day and All-on-4 are beneficial for patients with medical concerns, time constraints, or dental phobia. Patients must be in good overall health and have adequate bone structure prior to any implant procedure. Dr. Resuta will carefully examine your case to determine which denture option is right for you.
