Cosmetic Dentures

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures. Both Complete Dentures and Partial Dentures are finely crafted, custom-fitted. If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and provide a perfect smile. Additionally, dentures help strengthen muscles controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth, rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth and aid with chewing.

It is somewhat common to require for some teeth to be extracted, and surgery in some cases is necessary to improve the bony ridges that stabilize your dentures. The procedure begins with a wax bite impression of your mouth that will give your dentist exacting measurements. A try-on appointment will fine tunes color, shape, and custom-fit. After your final dentures are fabricated, they will be placed and informed of their required care.

Over time, dentures become loose. If you need adhesives to hold your denture in, they fit poorly enough to be causing damage to your bone. New dentures do not cause damage because we know how to fit dentures better now than ever before. New materials can give us a high quality impression of your mouth ofr an impressive fit. We can also utilize implants to "attach" a denture with a SNAP rather than relying on suction to hold them in. No longer will you have the fear of them falling during a meal or speaking.
