Dentures & Partial Dentures in Grand Prairie, Texas
What are Dentures & Partials?
Two types of dentures are available to patients in Grand Prairie, TX, today: full dentures and partial dentures, and either can be supported by implants for additional stability. A full denture is useful when it comes to replacing an entire arch of missing teeth. Partials are best suited to patients who still have a good majority of their natural teeth, but who still need a removable appliance to improve the look of their smile and functionality. Both full and partial dentures can last for about five to seven years before it’s recommended they be replaced. Your new denture is made just for you so that it’s completely comfortable.
Why are Dentures & Partials needed?
Who is a candidate for Dentures & Partials?
With an examination and consultation at our Grand Prairie, TX office, we can determine if you might need a denture. Oftentimes, patients who have severely advanced gum disease will need to have decayed, loose teeth removed by other dental services before a denture can be made for them. If you need a denture, it’s best to have one made sooner rather than later so that you can get used to wearing it and get back to eating whatever you like. Dentures can be replaced as they show signs of damage or disrepair and typically need to be relined every few years for the best fit.
What happens during the procedure to make Dentures & Partials?
We begin by taking impressions of your teeth and mouth. The impressions are used to make a custom-made denture just for you. We carefully match the color of your gums and palate as well as existing teeth to ensure a realistic-looking prosthesis. We will typically try them in for you to see while still in wax, so you can make changes to the color, size, or shape of the teeth and gums. Once the appliance is made, you will come back into the office for delivery. We will adjust the denture as needed so that it fits comfortably. The denture should be removed at night so that you can clean it and keep it looking its best.
