Partial dentures are ideal for patients who need to replace only a few missing teeth. These dentures can be used to fill in gaps where several teeth are missing in a row or scattered throughout the mouth. The versatility of partial dentures makes them one of the most common solutions for replacing missing teeth.

Partial dentures are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The replacement teeth are typically anchored to a gum-colored acrylic base, which is designed to match the color of your gums for a natural appearance. These dentures are held securely in place using hooks or clasps that attach to the remaining healthy teeth. The key to a comfortable partial denture is ensuring that the attachments are carefully designed so they do not irritate the gums or cause damage to nearby teeth.

One of the significant advantages of partial dentures is their ability to restore both appearance and function without requiring the removal of healthy teeth. These dentures help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably while maintaining a natural-looking smile. Regular follow-ups ensure that partial dentures continue to fit properly, and adjustments can be made as needed to ensure comfort.

For patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches, complete dentures are an excellent solution. Complete dentures are designed to replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The success of complete dentures depends on several factors, including the quality of the initial impression, the design, the materials used, and the craftsmanship involved in their creation.

We take great care in executing every step of the denture process to ensure that our patients receive complete dentures that fit well, require little or no adhesive, and are durable enough to provide long-lasting results. The process begins with a detailed examination and accurate impressions of your gums and remaining teeth. Using this information, we create dentures that align perfectly with your oral anatomy.

In addition to functionality, we also consider aesthetics when designing your dentures. Our team takes great pride in creating dentures that complement your facial features and match the appearance of your natural teeth. By paying close attention to the shape, size, and color of the teeth, we ensure that your dentures look as natural and lifelike as possible.

For patients seeking a more stable and secure solution, All-on-4 dentures offer an excellent option. This innovative treatment combines the benefits of dental implants with the functionality of complete dentures. The process begins by carefully placing dental implants into the jawbone. Typically, four implants are strategically placed in the strongest, most stable parts of the jaw to provide the foundation for the dentures.

At Dental Arts of Salem, we utilize a stent-guided dental implant system to ensure the precise placement of the implants. This technology allows for optimal alignment and ensures that the implants are positioned in a way that maximizes their effectiveness and durability. Once the implants are in place, a custom-designed denture is attached to the implants, providing patients with a complete, fixed set of teeth.

One of the key benefits of All-on-4 dentures is that they offer patients the freedom to enjoy all types of food without worrying about their dentures slipping or coming loose. This system provides a more secure and stable solution than traditional dentures, allowing patients to speak, eat, and laugh with confidence. For those who are facing the challenges of traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants offer a more carefree and reliable option for tooth replacement.
