Dentures have come a long way from the unnatural, boxy-looking prosthetics of the past. Today’s modern dentures look more realistic while also providing far better functionality, allowing wearers to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether you need a full set, a partial denture, or a more secure implant-supported option, advancements in dental technology have made these restorations more comfortable and lifelike than ever!.

Fortunately, at Dr. Blake Nelson, DDS Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry, modern dentures in Winston-Salem, NC, function properly and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.  

Advanced Materials and Precision Fit

Modern dentures are crafted using high-quality materials that closely mimic the appearance and translucency of natural teeth and gums. However, an accurate fit is just as important as aesthetics. Precise impressions and expert fabrication ensure that dentures feel comfortable, function properly, and stay in place throughout daily activities.

Patients also have the opportunity to customize their dentures, selecting tooth and gum shades that best complement their natural appearance. A knowledgeable dental team can help guide you through these decisions to achieve a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Let’s take a closer look at the various types of dentures, each of which is designed to meet different needs based on the extent of tooth loss and personal preferences.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are a fantastic option if you have significant tooth loss. When all teeth in an arch are missing, complete dentures provide a full-coverage solution. Designed to fit securely over the gums, full dentures restore the ability to chew and speak properly with a natural-look.

Partial Dentures

For patients with some healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures are an excellent way to restore function and aesthetics. These prosthetics fill gaps left by missing teeth and blend with surrounding natural teeth for a natural, visually appealing look.

For individuals seeking maximum stability, implant-supported dentures use four to six strategically placed dental implants to anchor a full set of prosthetic teeth. This option provides superior comfort, durability, and a more natural feel than traditional removable dentures.
