Traditional Dentures
Dentures that look natural and comfortable are our specialty. We see a lot of seniors, but we also have younger patients for dentures, and we strive to provide each patient with comfortable dentures so that they can speak, eat, and smile naturally.
Over the years, dentures have evolved. New materials and techniques allow for a more natural appearance and enhanced functionality. Modern dentures are designed to closely resemble the natural teeth that they replace. This helps patients gain confidence in their appearance and their ability to carry out everyday tasks.
Immediate Dentures
We also offer immediate dentures for patients who are in a hurry to replace their missing teeth. These dentures can be placed right after a tooth extraction, allowing patients to get used to their new smile faster while they are healing and adjusting. Immediate dentures can be a great option for people who want to avoid being without teeth while they heal. This option is a temporary solution that can be used to maintain appearance and functionality. Some adjustments may need to be made as the bone and gums heal.
Who Can Benefit From Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures can be used by patients who:
- Require extraction of all their teeth
- Want to take their dentures home the same day they are extracted
- Want to avoid the negative social and emotional effects of missing teeth
We work closely with our patients to ensure their dentures are functional and comfortable. We schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that the dentures fit well and are adjusted as needed.
Partial Dentures
Some people only have a few missing teeth. We can make a high-quality partial denture for these patients. It is a removable oral appliance that replaces missing teeth by clipping securely to the adjacent teeth while ensuring your comfort.
Partial dentures can be a great solution to restore both functionality and appearance. They prevent the natural teeth from shifting, which could lead to misalignment or further oral health problems. Partial dentures also improve speech clarity and the ability of the patient to chew food, which can significantly improve a patient's life.
Partial Dentures: Options
Our partial dentures are available in a wide range of materials and styles:
Acrylic Partial Dentures
These are lightweight and inexpensive partial dentures that are often used as a temporary fix.
Metal Framework Partial Dentures:
These dentures are durable and long-lasting. They provide a secure fitting while maintaining a naturally attractive appearance.
Flexible Partial Dentures:
These are made from flexible resin and are less likely to cause irritation.
Our dentists will determine the best type for you based on your specific needs and dental condition. No matter the design or material, we aim to create a partial denture that integrates seamlessly with our patients' existing teeth.
Dentures need to be properly maintained and cared for in order to prolong their life and ensure comfort. Here are some tips on how to care for your dentures:
Daily cleaning:
Remove your dentures and clean them with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft toothbrush to avoid plaque and stains.
Soaking Overnight
Keep your dentures hydrated by soaking them in water or a denture-soaking solution overnight.
Regular Dental Checkups:
Visit the dentist regularly for adjustments, professional cleanings, and oral health assessments.
Handle Carefully
Avoid dropping your dentures by handling them over a soft, padded surface, such as a towel folded in half or a bowl of water.
These practices can help patients maintain good oral health and prolong the life of their dentures.
When Should You Replace or Repair Dentures
Dentures can wear out over time and require adjustments, repairs, or even replacement because of changes in the structure of the mouth. You should seek professional attention if you are experiencing:
- Difficulty talking or chewing
- Constant discomfort or irritation
- Cracks or visible damage
- Looseness and instability
If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your dentist immediately. This will help you get the early treatment you need to help prevent further complications and restore functionality and appearance to your dentures.
