Should I get dentures?
As people age or experience dental problems, they may need to consider ways to replace missing teeth. The choice of treatment will depend on factors like budget, lifestyle, and personal preferences for appearance. Dentures are a budget-friendly option for those with several missing teeth. Made from a mix of metal and acrylic, these custom devices are designed to fit comfortably over the gums. Patients can choose between partial or full dentures based on the severity of their tooth loss.

The Benefits of Dentures
Affordable
Treatment costs are frequently covered by dental insurance plans.
Removable
Please remove your dentures as needed to eat, drink, or sleep comfortably.
Easy to Maintain
Remember to brush your dentures just as you would your natural teeth and allow them to soak in a special solution overnight for a deep clean.
The Denture Treatment Process
Impressions or Scans
Once your treatment is approved, your dentist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. They will take scans or impressions of your mouth and send them to the dental lab to begin creating your prosthetic. In the meantime, temporary dentures may be provided to protect your gums until your final dentures are ready.
Tooth Extraction (If Needed)
If your new dentures need it, extractions may be needed. Your dentist will make sure you are comfortable by numbing your mouth or using sedation before the procedure. It is crucial to rest for at least 24 hours after the extraction. Your dentist will give you specific instructions to help with any discomfort and ensure a smooth healing process.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are finished, you will come back to the office for the fitting process. We will make any needed adjustments to ensure your dentures are comfortable and functional. Remember to schedule yearly checkups to help your dentures last up to 10 years with proper care.
