What Are Dentures?

Personalized dentures are a convenient method for replacing missing teeth. These helpful pieces could make it more convenient to talk and chew with confidence and can renew the appearance of your teeth following tooth loss. Our team designs full and partial removable and implant-held dentures for adults of all ages in Cranston, RI. Single-arch dentures replace all of the teeth in the top arch, lower arch, or both, whereas partial dentures are offered when a few of the natural teeth still remain intact in the mouth. At Dr. Matrullo & Associates, our staff can help you determine whether removable or implant-held dentures are right for your aims and have them made custom to provide an attractive look and cozy fit. Call us for your denture assessment at Dr. Matrullo & Associates today.

What are the Benefits of Partial and Complete Dentures?

There are several benefits to choosing partial or full dentures as a tooth replacement option in Cranston, RI:

what are the Types of Dentures?

Adapting to each patient's specific needs is a top priority to us, which is why our Cranston, RI staff provides several personalized denture solutions for tooth replacement:

  • Detachable bridge-style dentures replace empty gaps left by a single tooth or several missing teeth. They are kept in their location by inconspicuously hooking to nearby teeth.
  • Removable full dentures restore a complete top or bottom arch and are retained by the natural contour of the jawbone or an oral adhesive.
  • Implant-supported dentures restore several or a full arch of teeth. These restorations attach to oral posts in the jaw for increased sturdiness.
  • Immediate complete dentures are used as soon as the real teeth are taken out. The fit of these pieces can be altered as the gum tissues heal.
  • Conventional full dentures are placed when teeth have previously been extracted, and the oral cavity is fully healed.

What Is the Denture Process?

One of our professionals will start the restoration process by taking digital or physical impressions of the top and bottom arches. These impressions will then be relayed to our partnering dental lab; from there, they will make your individualized dentures. Single-arch and partial dentures are made with light resin, which could be reinforced by a metal inner structure. Created with high-grade biocompatible substances, dentures are intended to replicate the appearance of native teeth and gum tissues. As soon as your appliances are crafted and sent to Dr. Matrullo & Associates, we will ask you to follow up for a fitting appointment. Dr. Matrullo & Associates will alter your appliances so they fit cozily or connect them to previously placed titanium implants. Our staff will also review the proper techniques to clean your new dentures.

Absolutely the best dentist I've ever been to. They took me on an emergency on a halfday due to weather. I ended up getting a root canal in hopes to save my tooth. I was not a patient there but now I am and will always be. I'm so grateful that I was helped today. The pain I was in was unbearable and they made sure was seen. Can't say enough about this practice but highly recommended.

About Us
How do I choose between removable and implant-held dentures?

Choosing between removable and implant-held dentures is a significant decision for many patients. At Dr. Matrullo & Associates, we assist you in making this choice based on several factors, including your lifestyle, jawbone health, and personal preference. During your consultation, we'll discuss the advantages of each option to determine the best fit for your needs.

Can dentures improve my overall oral health?

Patients often wonder about the impact of dentures on their overall oral health. The answer is positive. Both partial and complete dentures not only enhance your smile aesthetically but also improve oral functionality. By replacing missing teeth, dentures help distribute biting forces evenly, preventing excessive wear on remaining natural teeth. Additionally, they support facial muscles and structures, reducing the risk of sagging facial tissues. 

Will my speech be affected by wearing dentures?

A common concern for new denture wearers is the potential impact on speech. Initially, some adjustments in speaking may be necessary as you get accustomed to your new dentures. However, most patients quickly adapt, and speech typically improves with practice. At Dr. Matrullo & Associates, we offer guidance on how to adapt to your dentures quickly, ensuring a smooth transition.
