Mature woman in dental chairDentures are an effective and affordable way of replacing missing teeth. Composed of durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain, both partial and full dentures can be fabricated to look and feel natural. Today’s dentures are custom-fit to allow patients to eat foods with confidence and speak articulately.

Depending on the patient’s preferences and budget, dentures can be crafted for maximum comfort and fracture resistance backed up by limited warranties.

Get a Functional, Beautiful Smile

Did you know that more than 60 percent of American adults are missing one or more teeth?

Approximately 10% are missing all of their teeth – requiring a prosthetic solution that will restore function and aesthetics to their smiles. Many of those dental patients choose partial or full dentures to replace missing teeth. In fact, it is estimated that 35 million Americans currently wear partial or full dentures – which is only expected to rise as baby boomers begin to reach retirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for dentures?

If you are missing one or more teeth and need an affordable prosthetic solution, you may be a candidate for dentures. Most denture wearers find that partial and full dentures can restore much of their original tooth function—not to mention create a beautiful, natural-looking smile. Schedule a consultation with your dentist to determine if dentures are right for you.

What should I expect when being fit for dentures?

If you have decayed or damaged teeth that need to be removed, they will be extracted before your dentist takes a mold of your remaining gum structure and the roof of your mouth. This mold will be sent to a dental lab for denture fabrication. When the dentures are completed, you will return to your dentist for a final fitting.

Will I need to follow any special instructions to care for my new dentures?

Yes. Dentures are removable prosthetics that will need to be cleaned and brushed daily. You should also brush your gums daily to prevent infections caused by bacteria. Your dentures should be kept in water when they aren’t in use to prevent them from warping. Remember that it may take some time to adjust to dentures as you learn how to use the muscles in your cheeks and tongue to keep them in place. But over time, you should begin to feel more comfortable with your new prosthetics.
