What Are Dentures?

Full or partial dentures are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. These prosthetic restorations help you speak and chew with confidence while enhancing the appearance of your smile after tooth loss. At Reflections Dental, we collaborate with a periodontal specialist who is highly skilled in placing both removable and implant-supported dentures, with advanced training in gum and bone health. Single-arch dentures restore all teeth in either the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. We specialize in digital dentures, crafted entirely from 3D scans of your mouth for a precise and comfortable fit. Our team can help determine whether removable or implant-supported dentures are best suited for you and ensure your new dentures look natural and feel secure.

What Is the Denture Process?

The denture process begins with taking digital or traditional impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions are sent to a state-of-the-art dental lab, where your custom dentures are crafted using high-quality materials designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums. Once your dentures are ready and delivered to Reflections Dental, you’ll return for a fitting appointment. Our restorative team will adjust your dentures for comfort and secure them if implant posts are present. We will also provide guidance on how to care for your new dentures properly.

How Do I Take Care of My New Dentures?

Getting used to your new dentures may take up to a month as you relearn daily activities like eating and speaking, but they will become easier over time. If your dentures begin to slip, contact Reflections Dental so we can schedule an adjustment appointment. Proper care includes brushing your dentures gently after every meal and soaking them in water overnight to keep them from drying out. We recommend regular checkups at our practice to monitor your dentures’ condition and maintain your overall oral health for years to come.

Are You a Candidate for Dentures?

During your consultation, our team will evaluate your oral health and discuss options that fit your needs, care preferences, and budget.
