Dentures

Dentures are a time-honored solution for replacing missing teeth, offering patients the ability to restore their smile and regain normal function. Whether you’ve lost all of your teeth (complete dentures) or just a few (partial dentures), these custom-made prosthetics are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth and replicate the appearance of natural teeth. Dentures can significantly improve your ability to eat and speak, as well as provide support for your facial muscles, helping to maintain your facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.

The process of getting dentures typically involves several steps. First, your dentist will take impressions and measurements of your mouth to create a precise model for your dentures. Next, a wax model or prototype of the dentures will be made, allowing you to try them on and make adjustments for fit and comfort. Once the fit is perfected, the final dentures are crafted from durable materials that mimic the look of natural teeth and gums. After your dentures are placed, it may take a little time to adjust to eating and speaking with them, but with practice, most patients find that their dentures feel natural and comfortable. Regular follow-up visits are important to ensure the dentures maintain a proper fit, as the shape of your gums and jawbone can change over time.
