These aren’t your grandparents’ dentures! With the advancement of dental technology and techniques, today’s prosthetics look and feel more natural than ever.
Dentures are removable prosthetics that are custom-made for each patient. They’re designed to restore eating and speaking ability by replacing one or more missing teeth or a full arch. Regular care and maintenance are necessary to keep your dentures functioning and looking their best so you can smile confidently.
Common maintenance tips include:
There are two main types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all the natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. Partial dentures are attached to the remaining natural teeth with clasps, while complete dentures rely on suction or dental adhesives to stay in place.
Getting dentures is a process that involves several appointments. First, we take impressions of your mouth to create a model of your teeth and gums. This model is used to create a wax or plastic prototype of the dentures that you can try on to ensure a comfortable fit and proper alignment. Once you are happy with the prototype, we will create and adjust the final dentures as needed.
