Dentures

A conventional set of complete dentures are created and installed once teeth are removed and the gums have begun to heal. These can be placed in the mouth as early as 2-3 months after the natural teeth are removed.

Partial dentures can be removed, and you might hear them referred to as a dental bridge. Usually, partial dentures involve the replacement of some, not all. Attached to a gum-like base and connected by a custom-made metal framework, well-constructed dentures hold their position in the mouth. Partial dentures can also take much less time to install than complete dentures. 

Dentures: Helpful Denture Decision-Making Facts:

• Dental implants and bridges may be used instead of dentures.
• Dental implants and bridges may be used to support partial dentures.
• Many dental insurance companies cover dentures. We can work with you to find out about your specific situation.
• New dentures will take a few weeks to be completely comfortable and fitted in your mouth.
• The goal is for your dentures to look the same as your natural teeth, often even better.
• Eating with new dentures can be a learning experience, but you and your mouth will adjust to your new dentures quickly.
  Dentures may affect speech and pronunciation, but with time this will fade.
• Most dentures are worn nearly all the time at first, then less over time as your mouth and gums adjust.
• The creation and installation of highly personalized dentures usually necessitates multiple appointments over time to complete this tooth restoration process.
