Enjoy a Functional, Gap-free Smile with High-quality Dentures and Partials

Missing teeth can adversely affect your life and even prevent you from doing what you love. Dentures are a cost-effective and less invasive method to replace one or more missing teeth. Biggio Dental Care offers several denture options to patients in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to ensure everyone has a reason to smile. From restored oral function to enhanced aesthetics, dentures restore your quality of life to near-perfect.

What are the different types of dentures?

The following are the denture options available at our office.

  • Complete dentures: These dentures are suitable for patients who have lost an entire arch of teeth or both. They consist of a set of prosthetic teeth attached to a flesh-colored base. Full dentures rest on the gums and are held in place with suction (for upper dentures) and dental adhesives. If you want added stability, you can opt for implant-supported dentures anchored in the jawbone with dental implants.
  • Partials: A partial denture is suitable for replacing a few missing teeth if you still have healthy ones remaining. It bridges the gap between two healthy teeth using a set of prosthetic teeth secured by metal clasps attached to the surrounding teeth.

When you lose one or more teeth, the bite pressure shifts in the mouth. Other teeth begin moving to compensate for the gap created in your bite. Missing even one tooth leads to dental misalignment, and uneven tooth wear, not to mention changes in the facial structure as your jawbone deteriorates. Dentures stabilize the remaining teeth and support your facial structures to maintain your confident smile.

What is the denture process?

Denture treatment involves several appointments. During the consultation, our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, jawbone, and overall oral health to determine the best approach to replace your missing teeth. If some of your teeth are damaged or need extraction, our team will discuss the best way to restore your smile.

The next step is taking digital scans of your teeth and gums. This step ensures your final restoration fits comfortably and functions optimally. Next, we’ll send the digital records to a dental lab to custom-make your denture, considering your tooth’s contours, shade, shape, etc.

Once your dentures are ready, you’ll schedule a “try-in” appointment with Dr. Biggio, allowing you to preview your smile. During this visit, we’ll inspect your denture’s fit, alignment, and aesthetics. If necessary, we’ll make a few adjustments to ensure you are confident with your new restoration. The final step is to give instructions on maintaining dentures to ensure they last long.

What are the benefits of dentures?

All dentures aren’t created equal. Unlike cheaper, mass-produced dentures, our dentures are made from premium materials and precision impressions to offer optimum fit, comfort, and function.
