What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that help replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. You can think of them as custom-made solutions that help you bring back your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak. However, there are two types: complete and partial. Which you will need will depend on the damage to your teeth and which are missing.

Explore Your Options

Complete dentures are best suited for patients who have lost all of their teeth. We offer conventional dentures which are made after your gums have healed from the trauma, which can take a few months. Our team also offers the fitting of immediate dentures, which are ready to be used right after your teeth are removed (so you do not have to go toothless while you heal).

Partial dentures are for patients who still have some natural teeth. These come with a gum-colored base and the necessary replacement teeth. These not only fill in the gaps but also prevent your other teeth from shifting around.

Determining which dentures you need comes down to a few key factors about your oral health and the condition of your teeth. If you have lost all or most of your teeth in your upper or lower jaw, full dentures will probably be the best choice. On the other hand, if you still have some healthy teeth left, we can create a custom partial denture to fill in the gaps. We also consider the health of your gums and jawbone to ensure they are strong enough to support your denture. Dr. Klein also takes the time to understand your preferences and lifestyle to choose the option that’s best for you. Each case is unique, but together, we will find the right solution for your smile.

Have you decided to take the exciting step towards a confident new smile? While this is new territory for you, Monroe Dental Group has the experience of making your journey stress-free. During your first denture fitting, we will take precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth to create a custom mold. This ensures a snug, comfortable fit that feels natural. During this fit, we also make sure you can have the ideal bite to restore the function of your jaw.

Once we have the perfect mold and bite registration, your denture is created with high-quality materials that allow enhanced aesthetics and superior functionality. Our team will discuss the color and shape you prefer for your teeth to guarantee your satisfaction.

Why An Experienced Dentist is Your Best Friend

There’s nothing more frustrating than having something about your teeth feel off. If they slip around when you talk or feel awful on your gums when you chew, something is wrong. While dentures are a fantastic option for restoring your smile, it is important to have a dentist you can trust on your side. One like Dr. Klein, who is experienced and comfortable in taking on your case and ensuring a perfect fit.
