Where can
you find affordable dentures in Houston? Dental implants including dentures are
a preferred method to restore several lost teeth at once after an accident or
decay has taken them.
At NABA
Dental, we have the expertise to install custom fitted, affordable dentures for
you so you can have your smile back. Our dentures are designed to provide you
with a normal appearance of a full set of teeth as well as restoring your bite
to normal.
Dentures
or Dental Bridges?
Both
dentures and dental bridges are designed to replace lost teeth. However,
dentures can be more cost effective, especially when you need to replace
several teeth at once, including all of them if need be.
Dental
bridges use a crown on two adjacent teeth to suspend a pontic, or false tooth,
within a gap. Several bridges would be necessary to replace numerous lost
teeth, and they may not be able to accommodate several lost teeth in a row. Do
you have missing teeth that leave you feeling uncomfortable? Replace one or
more consecutive missing
teeth with fixed bridges in Houston, TX.
On the other
hand, partial dentures use a metal framework that relies on leverage against
the gums and roof of your mouth to suspend several pontics. It is more cost
effective to have several dental implants mounted on a single framework than
one for each gap.
Partial
or Complete Dentures
Partial dentures
are designed to replace two or more teeth in your mouth that have been lost.
They restore appearance and biting capability, allowing you to eat, drink, and
speak naturally once again.
If all of
the teeth are gone from your mouth, whether lost on their own or removed by a
dentist, a complete set of dentures replaces all of them. Complete dentures are
often designed to look like a removable set of teeth and gums that fit over
your actual gums.
With partial
dentures, a metal framework suspends pontics throughout your mouth, on either
the lower or upper array, and can include both if needed.
The
framework uses leverage to maintain the position of the pontics, but the
dentures can easily be removed for cleaning or repairs.
Materials
Denture
Teeth
The teeth in
dentures are primarily made from acrylic resin, which keeps costs down to make
them affordable while still making them look natural and remain functional.
Denture
teeth are also made from porcelain, which is more durable than the resin,
making them ideal for replacing necessary chewing teeth. The main downside,
however, is that porcelain teeth have a tendency to wear down and damage nearby
real teeth.
In complete
sets of dentures, however, all porcelain teeth are frequently used, both for
their durability and appearance.
Recent
advances in dentistry have made acrylic resins more durable, thanks to hybrid
composites. Typical resins, like those used in dental bonding, can wear out
quickly, but these hybrid composite resins are more durable and last longer. Replace
those missing teeth and help bring back that smile with Dentures. Visit Naba
Dental Center for affordable
dentures in the Houston, TX area.
Resin
dentures are still less durable than porcelain dentures, and should be replaced
every five to eight years. The reduced cost of acrylic resin makes them an
affordable option for dentures in Houston, however.
Denture
Framework
Denture
frameworks can be made from a few different materials, but most notably rigid
acrylic resin or chrome cobalt metal. These can be used for both partial and
complete dentures.
After an
impression mold is taken of your gums, the mold is sent to our laboratory where
a dental technician can fabricate the necessary framework that will fit your
mouth exactly.
Poorly
fitting dentures and other implants can lead to gum disease and other
bothersome conditions, so we take exceptional care to ensure they are the
perfect fit for you.
