Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life, from eating and speaking comfortably to feeling confident in your smile. At our dental office, we offer custom-designed dentures and partials to restore your smile, improve your oral function, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Whether you’re missing a few teeth or require full tooth replacement, our team will provide a personalized solution to meet your needs, ensuring a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting durability.
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are made from high-quality materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Depending on the number of teeth missing, patients can choose between full dentures and partial dentures.
Full dentures are recommended for individuals who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures sit directly on the gum tissue and are custom-crafted to provide a comfortable and secure fit. Full dentures come in two types:
Partial dentures are ideal for individuals who still have some natural teeth remaining. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is secured using metal clasps or precision attachments that anchor onto existing teeth. Partials help maintain proper alignment by preventing the remaining natural teeth from shifting.
Investing in dentures or partials offers numerous advantages, including:
Missing teeth can affect the structure of your face, leading to a sunken appearance. Dentures provide support to the lips and cheeks, maintaining your natural facial structure and enhancing your appearance.
Tooth loss can make speaking difficult, leading to slurring or difficulty pronouncing certain words. Dentures help restore proper speech by improving tongue and lip movement.
Without a full set of teeth, eating certain foods can become challenging. Dentures restore your ability to chew food effectively, ensuring you can enjoy a balanced diet and maintain proper nutrition.
For individuals with some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures help prevent shifting and misalignment, which can lead to bite problems and other oral health issues.
Compared to dental implants, dentures and partials provide a more affordable tooth replacement solution, making them accessible to a wider range of patients.
At our dental office, we follow a detailed and precise process to ensure that your dentures fit securely and comfortably while providing optimal function and aesthetics.
We begin by evaluating your oral health using digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and impressions of your mouth. We assess your gum health, bone structure, and bite alignment to determine the best denture option for you.
Once a treatment plan is developed, we take detailed impressions of your mouth. These impressions ensure that your dentures fit snugly and comfortably, preventing slipping or discomfort.
A preliminary model of your dentures is created for you to try. This allows us to adjust the bite alignment, fit, and color to match your natural teeth and facial structure.
Once the fit is perfected, your custom dentures are crafted using high-quality, durable materials. These final dentures are strong, stain-resistant, and designed to last for years.
After placing the final dentures, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure a secure and natural feel. We also provide guidance on how to care for your dentures to maximize their longevity.
For patients seeking a more stable and long-term solution, we offer implant-supported dentures. These dentures are anchored to dental implants, preventing movement and improving overall comfort. Benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
Proper maintenance of your dentures is essential for their durability and oral health. Here are some essential care tips:
