Have you been told you need dentures? Many people will need to consider more advanced dental solutions as they get older. Yet, that does not mean they don’t have options. Dentures are available to you at Lovett Dental Cinco Ranch. We also offer several outstanding options that could be a viable solution for those that do not want the traditional denture products.

Are Dentures the Only Option?
It is a common misconception that dentures are the only option for you. There are many others available – and some of them can offer some outstanding benefits dentures cannot. When you come in to meet with our team, we can help you compare solutions that may be right for your specific needs. Take a look at some of those options here at our general dentistry.
Dental Implants
For those who want alternatives to dentures, dental implants may be the best choice. Implants are permanent fixtures secured into the jawbone. The bone fuses with the implant, which is a type of screw set deep into the bone. That creates a very strong replacement for a traditional tooth root. Implants are then topped with an artificial tooth. This creates a like new, but natural-looking tooth for you to use. They are stronger than dentures and tend to be more comfortable than other products.
Overdentures
Dental implants can work for more than just one tooth. Overdentures could be an option for those who have more than one area where they need teeth. For example, if you need replacement teeth for most of your bottom row, this can work. Implants anchor in the denture-like material. It is a combination of both methods.
Dental Bridges
Some people may benefit from a bridge. Bridges are just what they sound like. A prosthetic tooth is placed between two missing teeth. These do not slip or move when you talk or eat, which is a benefit many people with dentures seek out. Crowns or dental implants are on either side of the bridge, allowing for a like-new tooth to be in the open gap.

Your oral health needs are very specific. Our team at Lovett Dental Cinco Ranch will help you to see what your options are for dentures.
