At Terrific Teeth, we understand how missing teeth can affect your smile, confidence, and overall quality of life. That’s why our dental team is dedicated to providing high-quality, custom-made dentures to help restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Whether you’ve lost some or all of your teeth, dentures are an excellent solution that can give you back the comfort and confidence you deserve.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth. At Terrific Teeth, we create dentures that are specifically tailored to fit your mouth perfectly. Our goal is to provide you with a denture that not only looks natural but also feels comfortable and secure.
The Process of Creating Custom Dentures
To ensure a perfect fit, we take a series of impressions of your teeth, gums, and jaw. These impressions are used to create a model that accurately represents your mouth. We then refine this model to match the ideal color, shape, and fit before sending it to a dental lab to create your permanent dentures. Once they are ready, we will make any minor adjustments necessary to ensure maximum comfort and proper fit.
Types of Dentures
There are two main types of dentures we offer, each designed to meet different needs:
- Conventional Full Dentures
Full dentures are ideal for patients who need to replace all of their upper and/or lower teeth. After the gums have fully healed from any extractions, we take impressions and measurements to create custom dentures that will restore your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably. - Partial Dentures
If you’re missing only a few teeth, partial dentures (or dental bridges) may be a great option. Partial dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth and help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place. The dentures are designed to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth, offering a seamless, aesthetic solution.
Caring for Your Dentures
To keep your dentures in top condition, it’s important to clean them regularly using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleaner. Following up with our dentist is crucial to ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably and securely. Over time, dentures may need adjustments or refitting. Typically, dentures should be replaced every 5-10 years.
