Should I get dentures?
As individuals get older or face dental issues, they may need to explore options for replacing missing teeth. The decision on which treatment to pursue will be influenced by factors such as budget, lifestyle, and desired appearance. Dentures are a cost-effective choice for individuals who are missing a significant number of natural teeth. These custom-made appliances are constructed from a combination of metal and acrylic materials to ensure a comfortable fit over the gums. Patients can opt for either partial or full dentures depending on the extent of tooth loss.

The Benefits of Dentures
Affordable
Most dental insurance plans will cover at least some of the cost of treatment, if not all.
Removable
Please feel free to take out your dentures whenever you need to eat, drink, or sleep comfortably.
Easy to Maintain
Make sure to brush your dentures like you would your natural teeth and let them soak in a special solution overnight for a thorough cleaning.
The Denture Treatment Process
Impressions or Scans
After your treatment is approved, your dentist will collaborate with you to create a customized treatment plan. Our team will then take scans or impressions of your mouth, which will be sent to the dental lab to start making your prosthetic. In the meantime, temporary dentures may be given to safeguard your gums until your final dentures are prepared.
Tooth Extraction (If Needed)
In some cases, extractions may be required to make room for your new dentures. Your dentist will ensure your comfort by numbing your mouth or using sedation before the procedure. After the extraction, it is important to rest for at least 24 hours. Your dentist will provide you with detailed instructions to help you manage any discomfort and ensure a smooth healing process.
Fitting and Adjustments
After your dentures are completed, you will return to the office for the fitting process. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures are comfortable and functional. Don't forget to schedule yearly checkups for your dentures, as with proper care they can last up to 10 years.
