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 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.
