A staggering 30% of individuals aged 75 and older have experienced complete tooth loss, resulting in a population of 45 million Americans who wear dentures. Dentures are transformative, offering a path to restored confidence and functionality. At Palmetto Dental Associates in Little River, SC, under the guidance of the esteemed Dr. Emily Hortman, we understand the profound impact dentures can have on an individual’s life.
Our denture services go beyond mere tooth replacement; they are a cornerstone of our commitment to helping you rediscover the joy of a complete and beautiful smile. From personalized consultations to expertly crafted prosthetics, dentures provide you with the comfort, aesthetics, and functionality you deserve.
Dentures have evolved significantly, and today’s options offer a natural look and feel, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for those with missing teeth. Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore both functionality and aesthetics to the mouth. Comprising artificial teeth set in a supportive base made of acrylic or other materials, dentures come in various types to cater to different tooth-loss scenarios.
These prosthetic devices are custom-made to fit the individual’s oral contours, providing support for facial muscles and helping to enhance speech and chewing abilities. Dentures address the practical aspects of tooth loss and contribute to a renewed sense of confidence and well-being, allowing individuals to regain a natural-looking smile and maintain oral health.
Dr. Emily Hortman and our dedicated team believe in a tailored approach to denture solutions, recognizing that every patient has unique needs and preferences. Whether you are missing a few teeth or require a full arch replacement, our comprehensive denture services are designed to address your specific situation with precision and care.
Ideal for those who have lost all of their natural teeth, complete dentures replace an entire arch of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. With advancements in materials and technology, full dentures provide a comfortable and lifelike solution.
For patients with missing teeth, partial dentures offer a removable prosthetic that fills the gaps while preserving existing natural teeth. Dr. Hortman ensures a seamless integration, allowing for both function and aesthetics.
Implant-supported dentures, combining the stability of dental implants with the versatility of dentures, provide enhanced support and prevent issues like slipping or discomfort. This option is particularly beneficial for those seeking a secure and long-lasting solution.
