Dentures

If you have multiple missing teeth and are ready to reclaim your smile, dentures may be the perfect option for you. At Smile ConfiDENTAL, we’ll help you to evaluate the solution that works best for your oral health and financial situation.

Why Choose Dentures?

Although they’ve been around for ages, today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural looking than those of the past. Dentures can either replace all of your teeth or a few, which is known as partial dentures.

Both types may require that some teeth be pulled or that some surgery be performed on the bony ridges beneath the gums to better accommodate your new dentures so they have a perfect feel and “fit.”

What to Expect

If your dentures are full, and any extractions are necessary, a temporary denture is placed to assist with the healing and to provide “teeth” while your gums heal. Partial dentures replace missing teeth and are attached to existing teeth with anchors made of plastic or metal.

A final denture is prepared after all healing has taken place, usually within six – twelve months.

Both full and partial dentures are removed at night when you go to sleep, so that saliva can “wash” over your gums to maintain a healthy mouth.
