Dentures
Missing teeth not only change your smile but also change how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. You might be worried that the solution will look unnatural and feel uncomfortable if you’ve been struggling with tooth loss. Here you will find information on how modern dentures are different.
In our practice, we combine modern technology with an artistic touch to create dentures that look natural and feel comfortable.They restore not just your teeth, but also your confidence and quality of life.
What Are Dentures?
Simply put, dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. While they have been around for a long time, modern dentistry has completely transformed them. Gone are the days of “false teeth” that look obvious or slip out of place.
Custom-crafted dentures are created to fit the unique contours of your mouth. You can enjoy life without hesitation because they are made to feel comfortable, look natural, and function like your own teeth.
Finding the Right Fit for You
We offer different types of dentures to suit your specific needs, as every smile is different. During your consultation, we will help you decide which option is best for you.
Complete Dentures (Full Dentures)
If you have lost all of your natural teeth in either your upper or lower jaw (or both), complete dentures are the solution.
- Conventional Full Dentures: These are placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. This healing process may take several months.
- Immediate Full Dentures: After removing your remaining teeth, these are inserted immediately. This means that you won’t ever have to be without teeth during the healing period.
Partial Dentures
 A partial denture is often the best option if you still have some healthy natural teeth.
- A partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base.
- Your remaining natural teeth do not shift position, as partial dentures fill the gaps created by missing teeth..
- It’s a removable option that looks great on your current smile.
How Dentures Change Your Life
Choosing dentures is a big step, but it’s one that comes with wonderful rewards. Here is how restoring your smile can improve your daily life:
- Eat the Foods You Love: Chewing can be difficult or painful. Your ability to eat a varied, healthy diet is restored with dentures
- Speak Clearly: Your pronunciation can be affected by gaps in your teeth. Dentures give your tongue the support it needs to speak clearly again.
- Look Younger: When teeth are missing, the facial muscles lose support and may sag, often leading to a prematurely aged appearance. Dentures restore your natural facial structure and provide support to your cheeks and lips.
- Boost Your Self-Esteem: Nothing matches the feeling of smiling freely without covering your mouth.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We understand that getting used to your new smile may take some time. Our caring staff will support you every step of the way.
To ensure your dentures fit snugly and comfortably, we take exact measurements and impressions. Additionally, we will give you all the advice and guidance to maintain your new smile and keep your mouth healthy.
Advanced Digital Technology for Faster, Better-Fitting Dentures
At our office, we use advanced digital technology, including intraoral scanners and in-office 3D printers, to streamline the denture fabrication process. Dentures can often be fabricated much faster, significantly reducing turnaround time. Digital scanning eliminates the need for multiple physical impressions and manual lab steps. Using precise digital data, dentures can be designed digitally and fabricated with extreme accuracy, reducing remakes, adjustments, and long lab delays. This means fewer visits, improved comfort, and faster delivery of your new dentures.
