Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Modern denture technology has evolved significantly, offering more comfortable and natural-looking options than ever before. Whether you need to replace all your teeth or just a few, dentures provide an affordable solution for tooth replacement.
At our practice, we understand that losing teeth can be emotionally challenging. We take time to discuss your concerns and create customized dentures that fit your mouth properly and match your facial features. Our goal is to help you regain function and confidence through carefully crafted prosthetic teeth.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Complete dentures rest on your gums and create suction for retention, especially effective in the upper jaw. Partial dentures use clasps or precision attachments to anchor to remaining teeth, providing stable support while preserving your natural teeth.
The materials used in modern dentures include high-quality acrylic resins and sometimes porcelain for the teeth. These materials are durable, stain-resistant, and can be color-matched to look natural. We work with skilled dental laboratories to ensure your dentures are crafted with precision and attention to detail.
Creating well-fitting dentures requires several appointments to ensure proper fit and appearance. Initial impressions capture the shape of your gums and any remaining teeth. We then determine the proper jaw relationship and tooth positioning through bite registrations and try-in appointments. This careful process ensures your dentures will function properly and look natural.
During the try-in stage, you’ll see how your dentures look before final processing. This allows us to make adjustments to tooth color, shape, and position. We want you to be completely satisfied with the appearance before the dentures are finalized. Once approved, the dental laboratory completes the dentures using durable materials that will serve you well for years.
Adjusting to new dentures takes time and patience. Initially, they may feel bulky or loose as your mouth adapts. Speaking and eating require practice, starting with soft foods cut into small pieces. Most people adapt within a few weeks, gradually returning to normal activities. Regular follow-up appointments help us make adjustments for optimal comfort.
Proper denture care extends their lifespan and maintains oral health. Remove and rinse dentures after eating, brush them daily with denture cleaner, and soak them overnight in denture solution. Handle them carefully to avoid dropping, and continue cleaning your gums and any remaining teeth. Regular dental visits ensure your dentures continue fitting properly as your mouth changes over time.
