Dentures If you're missing teeth and looking for a reliable tooth replacement option, dentures might be the solution for you. At Lifetime Dental, we offer custom-made complete and partial dentures to help restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Whether you've lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma, dentures can help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.Tooth loss affects millions of adults every year and can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. Missing teeth can cause your facial muscles to sag, affect your bite alignment, and even lead to additional tooth loss. Fortunately, modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever before. What Are Complete Dentures?Complete dentures are a full set of artificial teeth that replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. These dentures rest directly on the gums and are often used when a patient has lost all of their natural teeth, or requires full-mouth extractions. Complete dentures are custom-crafted to fit your mouth comfortably and securely. They are made using durable, natural-looking materials designed to mimic the appearance of real teeth and gums. With proper care, complete dentures can restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. What Are Partial Dentures?Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. This type of denture is ideal for patients who still have healthy teeth but need to replace several missing ones. Partial dentures are anchored in place with clasps that attach to the surrounding natural teeth, offering stability and support. Like complete dentures, partial dentures are custom-made from molds of your mouth and color-matched to blend in with your existing teeth for a natural appearance. The Denture Process: What to ExpectGetting dentures begins with a comprehensive dental exam and consultation. During your first appointment with Lifetime Dental, our dental team will assess your oral health, review your treatment options, and determine whether complete or partial dentures are right for you. If extractions are needed, we may allow healing time before fitting your dentures. In some cases, you may be a candidate for immediate dentures, which are placed the same day as your extractions take place. For a more secure option, we also offer implant-supported dentures, which provide additional stability by attaching to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Depending on your treatment plan, receiving your dentures may require two or more visits. How Long Do Dentures Last?With proper care, both complete and partial dentures can last five to 10 years. Over time, your jawbone and gum tissue may change, which can affect the fit of your dentures. Regular checkups allow us to adjust or reline your dentures as needed, to keep them comfortable and functional.
