Why Dentures Are Important

Dentures are essential for replacing missing teeth and supporting overall oral health. Benefits include:

• Restored Function: Dentures allow you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
• Improved Appearance: Custom dentures enhance your smile and facial aesthetics.
• Support Facial Structure: Dentures help maintain the shape of your face, preventing the sunken look that can occur with missing teeth.
• Increased Confidence: A complete, attractive smile boosts self-esteem and confidence.

Types of Dentures We Offer

1. Full Dentures

   Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction and/or adhesive.

2. Partial Dentures

   Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth.

3. Immediate Dentures

   Immediate dentures are placed the same day that your remaining teeth are removed. These dentures allow you to have teeth while your gums heal, and adjustments are made as needed once healing is complete.

4. Implant-Supported Dentures

   Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants for added stability and function. These dentures provide a secure fit and feel more like natural teeth.

Our Denture Process

1. Initial Consultation

   During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs, and help you choose the best type of dentures for your situation.

2. Impressions and Measurements

   We take detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth to create custom dentures that fit comfortably and function properly.

3. Denture Fabrication

   Your dentures are crafted in a dental lab using high-quality materials to ensure a natural appearance and durable fit.

4. Fitting and Adjustments

   Once your dentures are ready, we will fit them to your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and proper function. Follow-up appointments may be needed to fine-tune the fit.
