Dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or a full arch of teeth. They are designed to restore the appearance of your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably. At Restorative Dentistry Group, our doctors and team are dedicated to providing high-quality, custom dentures that meet your specific needs.
Our practice offers both full and partial dentures, depending on the extent of your tooth loss. Full dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all of their teeth in one or both arches. These are carefully crafted to fit securely and comfortably, giving you the confidence to smile, eat and speak without worry. Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and help prevent any natural teeth from shifting.
The Denture Process
When you visit our office for dentures, our prosthodontists will work closely with you to ensure a smooth and comfortable process. After a thorough examination, we will take impressions of your mouth to create a custom-fitted denture. These impressions are sent to a dental lab where your dentures will be crafted to fit the unique shape of your mouth.
Once your dentures are ready, we will schedule a fitting appointment to make sure they fit comfortably and securely. We will also provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new dentures to ensure they last for years to come.
