Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the tissues that surround them. The acrylic resin fused with various metals is the most popular material used for making them. We can help whether you need complete dentures to replace an entire set of teeth or partial dentures to replace one or a few teeth. There are two types of complete dentures, “immediate” and “conventional.” We can help you decide which is right for you.

About Dentures

affordable dentures to replace missing teeth

Dentures are ideal for those seeking affordable ways to replace missing teeth. We can also repair and secure loose dentures that have made it harder to speak, eat or smile with confidence.

Modern dentures replace missing teeth while improving gum health and are both affordable and well-fitting. It is difficult to chew and speak when you are missing teeth. Your smile isn’t what you want it to be, and you may lose confidence in forming new relationships and seeking new job opportunities as a result. Dental dentures can solve those issues. Dentures of old are nothing like the new dentures offered by the dental team at our dentistry practice.

The materials used to make dentures are now more durable. We select them carefully so that your dentures look natural and fit comfortably. Affordable dentures can completely transform your smile while also improving your dental health.

The Skinny on Denture Implants

Denture implants are quickly becoming the go-to option for replacing missing teeth. To attach artificial teeth to implants, they use a snap-on, removable system. You get a more natural look and don’t have to worry about slippage. They also reduce rubbing that can cause discomfort and abrasions on your gums. It’s easier to talk with denture implants, too, since they’re so secure.

Denture implants do raise the cost of your dentures. Because you have to have surgery to insert the implant posts, they are not available as same-day dentures. However, because of their superior functionality, they are worth the extra denture cost.

Denture Repair When You Need It

Fixed and secured denture implants are ideal if your lifestyle tends to put you at a higher risk of accidents. At the same time, denture repair technology has made it possible for our dental team to repair them quickly, regardless of the type of dentures you wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Benefits of Dentures?

Dentures are ideal for those seeking affordable ways to replace missing teeth. We can also repair and secure loose dentures that have made it harder to speak, eat or smile confidently. Conventional dentures are placed in the mouth four weeks after the specialist extracts your teeth to allow the team time to heal, whereas we place immediate dentures immediately. The main drawback of immediate dentures is that they are likely to require more adjustment after healing. Dentures are only likely to hurt when the specialist has fitted improperly, which is why we take numerous steps to ensure you can enjoy the perfect fit from the start. Dentures can also help you look younger by supporting the structure of your face.

What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?

You will undergo a consultation to see whether dentures are right for you. If they are, we will decide which dentures to use. Our dentist will treat your teeth and gums to ensure good health before fitting your dentures. After that, they will take mold and design the dentures to suit your gums and jaws. Once your dentures are ready, we will contact you to arrange a time to feet the new teeth.

If the dentures fit, they can be held in place by natural gum suction, but you may want to consider getting an implant to give you more control over activities like speaking and eating. It can take one or two months for you to become used to your dentures. You should start to see problems like excessive saliva disappear once you have become more familiar with the feeling of having dentures in your mouth.

Who Has Dentures?

Dentures are ideal for people who have lost some of all of their teeth. Dentures, also known as false teeth, are frequently worn by younger people, even though they are mainly worn by the elderly. Talk to us today to find out more about our affordable and comfortable dentures.

What to Expect When You First Start Wearing Dentures?

Any new dental appliance will initially feel quite strange, and dentures are no exception. When your specialist first fits them, they might feel very bulky and awkward to wear, but you must persevere. Your denture dentist can advise you on which foods to start with, and in general, it is best to start with softer foods that require little chewing, gradually increasing your food options as you get used to your new dentures. It may also take some time to get accustomed to speaking with dentures, so practice makes perfect. If your dentures slip out of place, gently bite down and reposition them with your tongue.

Caring for Your Dentures

The better you care for your dentures, the longer they will last, and your dentist will teach you how to clean them correctly with the proper denture brush and cleaner. You cannot use a regular toothbrush or toothpaste because they are too abrasive and may damage the denture. Furthermore, you must continue to clean your mouth and visit your dentist regularly for checkups so that they can evaluate the fit of your denture and your oral health.
