Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's appearance and functionality. At our office, we specialize in creating personalized dentures that fit comfortably and enhance your overall oral health.
Types of Dentures
- Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing, complete dentures replace an entire arch of teeth. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your gums and may require adhesive for stability.
- Partial Dentures: For patients who have some natural teeth remaining, partial dentures fill in the gaps and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. They are secured in place using clasps or attachments.
The Denture Process
- Consultation and Assessment: During your initial visit, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of denture for your needs.
- Impressions and Measurements: Detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth are taken to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance for your dentures.
- Custom Fabrication: Your dentures are custom-made in a dental laboratory using durable materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums.
- Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, they are placed in your mouth, and our team ensures they fit comfortably and securely. Adjustments may be made to achieve the perfect fit.
Benefits of Dental Dentures
- Improved Chewing and Speech: Dentures restore your ability to chew food properly and speak clearly, enhancing your overall quality of life.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Dentures provide a natural-looking smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
Support for Facial Muscles: By replacing missing teeth, dentures help support facial muscles and prevent sagging or sunken facial appearance.
