Living with missing teeth takes a toll on your confidence, appearance, and ability to chew comfortably. Fortunately, dentistry provides several options for restoring your smile, but more and more people are discovering the benefits of modern dentures to replace missing teeth.

With customized full and partial dentures in Arlington, WA, Dr. Andrew Kim, DDS can give you a great new smile that restores confidence and healthy, comfortable function.

Modern Dentures Enhance Your Smile

Missing teeth aren’t just a problem for the older generation; tooth loss can occur at any age, and many people in their 30s and 40s have dentures.

What they’ve discovered is that fake-looking dentures are a thing of the past. There’s no comparison between older, fake-looking dentures and the modern, lighter versions we use at our Arlington dental office.

Modern materials and technology give us much more control when customizing dentures and allow us to design one-of-a-kind dentures for your unique smile. Dentures in Arlington, WA are the best way to replace multiple teeth affordably. 

Facts about Dentures You Should Know

If you need to replace missing teeth, here are a few dentures facts to consider:

• Removable dentures are available in two types: full (complete) and partial.
• A full or complete denture is used when all the teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both are missing teeth.
• A denture that replaces a few missing teeth is called a partial. Partials are held in place with precision attachments or clasps hooked onto the remaining teeth.
• Modern full and partial dentures are designed to fill the gaps and complete your smile.
• Full and partial dentures provide facial support and give a fuller, youthful appearance to cheeks and lips.
• When cared for properly, you can get 5-7 years of use before replacing your dentures.

How We Customize Your Full or Partial Dentures

Once you and Dr. Kim decide that dentures are right for you, we begin the planning process. This is your chance to customize the design of your dentures down to the smallest detail to ensure that you will love the final result.

You and Dr. Kim will collaborate to choose the right shade for the gum-colored base and artificial teeth. You’ll discuss the shape, size, and position of the artificial teeth, so they look natural and not too perfect. If you loved the look of your smile before tooth loss, we would work off of old photos; if not, we’ll customize a brand new look and a fabulous smile.

Implant-Retained Dentures Stay in Place

Traditional removable dentures can be loose and uncomfortable, leading to shifting and movement and dentures that don’t stay put. Our modern approach to dentures utilizes dental implants to improve their stability and overall function without sticky, inconvenient denture cream.

Dr. Kim places two or more dental implants in your jaw at our Arlington dental office and designs the denture with clasps attached to the implants. The result is dentures that don't shift and move and look, feel, and function as close to real teeth as possible in modern dentistry.
