Dentures – Stone Mountain, GA
The Answer to an Incomplete Smile
All too often, patients assume the negative effects of tooth loss begin and end with appearance. The reality is that even relatively mild cases can lead to several issues, including difficulty enunciating clearly, an inability to eat a varied, well-balanced diet, and dental drift. For all of those reasons, we recommend exploring your tooth-replacement options, like dentures, sooner rather than later! Simply read on or give our friendly dental team a call if you want to learn more.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Whether you are missing several teeth in a row, you’re missing all of your molars, or you don’t have any of your natural teeth left, we have good news: you may be a candidate for dentures! The easiest way to find out if that’s the case is by scheduling a consultation with one of our dedicated dentists. That way, they can review your dental history, complete a comprehensive oral exam, and learn about your habits and lifestyle. Then, they can review all of your treatment options and help you decide if dentures are ideal for you.
Types of Dentures
There are actually three different types of dentures. During your appointment, we will discuss each one more in-depth, but here’s a brief overview of each:
Partial Dentures
Do you have a few noticeable gaps in your smile? If so, partial dentures will likely be the solution, which essentially act as a puzzle piece. Held in place with discreet clasps, the restoration can give you the complete smile and strong bite you’ve been missing. Since everything from the gum-colored base to the replacement teeth is custom-made for you, you can trust the final result will look and feel natural, too!
Full Dentures
What if you are missing all of your teeth? In that case, we recommend a full denture! Unlike a partial denture, a full denture is held in place with natural suction, a special adhesive, or a mixture of the two. Again, your unique face shape and aesthetic goals will be considered when creating your restoration to ensure that it doesn’t feel bulky or look unnatural in any way.
Implant Dentures
Some patients prefer a more permanent solution to tooth loss. That’s where dental implants come in! With several strategically placed dental implants, we can secure your denture in place, ensuring it doesn’t slip or move unexpectedly. Not only that, but the stimulation to your jawbone helps prevent it from deteriorating, which helps maintain your strong bite and youthful face shape.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures continue to be a popular tooth-replacement solution for several reasons, including:
- They can address both moderate and severe tooth loss
- They are crafted from only the best materials
- They can restore some of the strength of your bite that you lost
- They are cost-effective
- They are designed to look and feel natural
