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 finances, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Dentures are a cost-effective solution for individuals with multiple missing teeth. Constructed from a combination of metal and acrylic, these personalized devices are crafted to provide a comfortable fit over the gums. Patients can select between partial or full dentures depending on the extent of their tooth loss.

The Benefits of Dentures
Affordable
Dental insurance plans often cover some or all of the costs of treatment.
Removable
Please take out your dentures as necessary to eat, drink, or sleep comfortably.
Easy to Maintain
Don't forget to brush your dentures just like you do with 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. They will take scans or impressions of your mouth and send them 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 completed.
Tooth Extraction (If Needed)
If your new dentures require it, extractions may be necessary. Your dentist will prioritize your comfort by numbing your mouth or using sedation before the procedure. It is important to rest for a minimum of 24 hours following the extraction. Your dentist will provide you with detailed instructions to assist in managing any discomfort and facilitating a successful healing process.
Fitting and Adjustments
After your dentures are completed, you will return to the office for the fitting process. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure your dentures are comfortable and functional. Don't forget to schedule yearly checkups to help your dentures last up to 10 years with proper care.
