Millions of Americans are afflicted with tooth loss, whether due to facial trauma, bone loss or simple decay. One of the most tried-and-tested options for restoring lost teeth is with dentures.

We invite you to learn more about the process of getting dentures, and the amazing results you could achieve with our dental team.

Why choose dentures?
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics that replace missing teeth. Dentures are designed to look as natural as possible and can also help restore chewing function. These removable prostheses are an affordable option compared to more permanent options such as implants. Dentures must be removed at night and soaked in a cleaning solution to maintain good oral hygiene. Depending on the diagnosis, a doctor will recommend either a partial denture or a complete denture. A partial denture replaces a few teeth, whereas a complete denture replaces all your teeth.

The Benefits of Dentures
Easy to Maintain
Dentures are removable, which makes them very easy to clean and maintain.
Extra Support
Dentures can provide much-needed support to your facial muscles.
Reduces Risk of Decay
Getting dentures can help you reduce your risk of further oral tissue decay.
The Denture Treatment Process
Impressions or Scans
Once your eligibility for treatment is confirmed, your dentist will collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Following this, our team will capture either scans or impressions of your mouth. These images are then forwarded to a dental laboratory, where the creation of your custom prosthetic begins. In the interim, temporary dentures might be provided to safeguard your gums as you await the completion of your permanent set.
Tooth Extraction (If Needed)
In certain scenarios, tooth extractions might be necessary to accommodate your new dentures. To initiate this process, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Post-extraction, it's crucial to rest extensively for at least 24 hours. You will receive comprehensive care instructions from your dentist to ensure a comfortable and pain-free recovery period.
Fitting and Adjustments
Upon the completion of your dentures, you'll revisit the office for the fitting phase. This step involves meticulous adjustments to maximize the comfort and functionality of your dentures. Regular office visits for annual check-ups are recommended to maintain the quality of your dentures. With proper care, a set of dentures can serve you well for up to a decade.

When you first have dentures placed, they will give you a very “full” feel in your mouth and cheeks. This is not painful, necessarily, but can feel a little unnatural. You may also develop sore spots or irritation along your gums. We recommend washing your gums with warm salt water multiple times a day, for two or three days. If the pain persists, give us a call. With all of that said, you should feel completely accustomed to your dentures within 30 days or so.
The goal of dentures is to always present a natural appearance. Remember that your dentures will be custom-fit for your mouth and made to resemble your healthy and natural teeth as closely as possible. Elevated Dentistry strive to ensure our patients are pleased with the final results.
