Looking for a stable denture solution for missing teeth? Acre Wood Dental in Waco has you covered! While removable dentures might be used temporarily during other restorative procedures, our primary focus is on providing stable, functional, and natural-looking permanent tooth replacement solutions to improve your quality of life. Our skilled restorative dental team will help you discover the ideal denture system for you, including top implant-supported denture services in Waco and beyond!
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a strong, stable upgrade from traditional dentures by anchoring them to dental implants placed in your jawbone. This provides enhanced stability for eating, speaking, and overall daily comfort.
Implant-retained dentures are removable dentures that gain stability and retention by attaching to dental implants. The dentures will "snap" or clip onto the implants, preventing the slipping and movement often associated with traditional dentures. While they will still be removed for cleaning and maintenance, the implants provide a much more secure and comfortable fit as you go about your day.
All-On-5 implants represent a specific technique where an entire arch of replacement teeth (a full denture) is supported by typically just four strategically placed dental implants. This approach often allows for the placement of a fixed (non-removable by the patient) full set of teeth, sometimes even on the same day as the implant surgery ("Teeth-in-a-Day"). All-On-5 implants at Acre Wood Dental in Waco are typically a more efficient and sometimes less costly way to restore a full arch compared to using individual implants for each tooth.
Both All-On-5 and implant-retained dentures offer substantial benefits over traditional dentures, providing improved function, comfort, and often a more natural feel. If you're considering a more secure and reliable solution for replacing multiple or all missing teeth, we can discuss which of these implant-supported options might be right for you.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are appliances designed to replace missing teeth. While our Waco dentists primarily focus on more permanent restorative solutions, we may offer removable dentures temporarily in specific situations. For patients who are undergoing other restorative dentistry procedures, such as waiting for a dental implant to heal before its final crown placement, we may provide a temporary removable denture during the healing period to fill the space left in the smile.
At Acre Wood Dental, we do not offer removable dentures as a final, long-term tooth replacement option. Our dentists focus on providing more stable and functional restorative solutions like permanent dental implants, bridges, and implant-supported dentures for permanent tooth replacement.
If you have missing teeth and are interested in exploring your long-term restorative options, start by contacting our Waco dental office for a consultation. We can discuss the benefits of more permanent tooth replacement solutions and how temporary, removable options might fit into your restorative treatment plan.
