Sedation Dentistry
Dentures for a Comfortable, Natural-Looking Smile
Replace several or all of your missing teeth with dentures made to fit your individual smile. Your options can include complete, partial, traditional removable, implant-supported, or fixed dentures.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth. Traditional removable dentures can be taken out for cleaning, while implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants for added stability. Fixed dentures remain secured in your mouth rather than being removed daily.
Your dentist can help you select an option based on your needs, preferences, and desired fit.
01.
Process
- Evaluate your needs. Your dentist assesses your oral health, discusses your preferences, and determines the appropriate denture option.
- Take your impressions. Impressions and measurements of your mouth are used to customize your dentures.
- Create your dentures. Your appliance is fabricated in a dental laboratory to provide a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
- Complete your fitting. Your dentist checks your dentures and makes necessary adjustments to improve comfort and function.
02.
Next Steps
- Follow your care instructions. Use the guidance you receive to maintain your dentures and oral health.
- Clean removable dentures daily. Brush them once a day with a nonabrasive denture cleanser and rinse them after eating.
- Soak your dentures overnight. Keep removable dentures moist in a mild denture-soaking solution to help maintain their shape.
- Schedule regular checkups. Your dentist can monitor your denture fit, help prevent slippage and discomfort, and examine your mouth.
