Full Dentures & Partial Dentures

In one form or another, dentures have been around for centuries, and they still provide an effective and affordable way to replace a large number of missing teeth at the same time. Modern-day prosthetics consist of ceramic teeth affixed to an acrylic, gum-colored base, giving them the strength and lifelike-appearance that patients need. Whether you have a few remaining teeth or are missing all of them, Dr. Alhamdi and our team can create a denture for you that fits great, looks even better, and can be trusted to stand the test of time.

Do I Need Dentures?

If you’ve experienced significant tooth loss, you are likely a candidate for dentures. Although you might feel your missing teeth are only an aesthetic concern, an incomplete smile can adversely affect your oral and general health. If you have any remaining natural teeth, they won’t have the support they need to stay in place. Eventually, they will likely fall out. With every tooth you lose, you’ll struggle to maintain a balanced diet, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. You can stop the complications associated with tooth loss using the right dental prosthetic.

What Can I Expect?

After an initial consultation, we might recommend additional procedures before starting your process for dentures, like tooth extractions. Once you’ve healed from any previous treatments, we’ll use images and impressions to create a mold to make your denture. We’ll create wax models to ensure we get the proper fit before carefully crafting your permanent denture. It will be made to match the appearance of your natural teeth for a flawless smile.

From start to finish, it can take several weeks to create your new denture; however, it’s time well-spent to ensure it looks and feels closely like your real teeth. It will take a few days to get used to wearing your new denture, but in no time at all, you will speak, smile, and chew without any concern.
