Rediscover Your Smile with Complete or Partial Dentures
Are you in search of solutions to replace one, several, or an entire arch of missing teeth? Tooth loss is about more than leaving gaps in your smile. It can impact how you eat, how you talk, and even how you feel about interacting with others. Dr. Battise-Flores and her team at Traditions Dental offer a range of denture options tailored to your unique needs. Today’s dentures are sleeker, more comfortable, and more functional than those of the past, restoring your smile and confidence.
What Are Your Denture Options?
Here is a look at the denture options we offer:
Complete Dentures: These restorations are designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth. Immediate dentures are placed in your mouth after extracting any remaining teeth, so you don’t go without teeth for a single day. As your mouth heals, your dentures will require adjustments and relining to accommodate the changes in your bone and gums. In about a year after extraction, we will create a second set of dentures from digital impressions of your smile for a more comfortable fit and enhanced function. These high-quality restorations are designed to enhance your smile for many years.
Partial Dentures: If you have some healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture fills the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. These time-tested restorations attach to your remaining teeth or gums restoring your smile’s function. At Traditions Dental, we offer a range of partial denture options, including metal frame partials, flexible partials, and acrylic partials, depending on your unique needs and your personal preferences.
Implant-Supported Dentures: These removable overdentures snap securely onto implants placed in your jawbone, offering a more stable alternative to traditional dentures, especially for lower dentures. Implant dentistry is today’s gold standard for replacing missing teeth, delivering superior stability, function, and durability.
What Is the Custom Dentures Placement Process?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Battise-Flores will assess your oral health, review your goals, and recommend the ideal options to address your unique needs. Next, she will take digital impressions of your mouth to use to create your restoration, and will carefully select the tooth shapes and shades that best complement your smile.
If you are considering implant-supported overdentures, we will use our advanced CBCT 3D imaging technology to evaluate your bone density and map out the ideal implant placement before any procedure begins. That precision eliminates guesswork and leads to more predictable, successful outcomes.
Every set of dentures we create is custom-fitted to your unique smile. The goal is a restoration that feels comfortable and looks natural.
What Should You Expect After Getting Dentures?
You can expect a brief adjustment period after receiving new dentures as your mouth adapts to the new appliance. Your speech may feel slightly different at first, and eating will require some patience as you relearn how to chew with your new restoration. Most patients find themselves more comfortable within a few weeks.
We follow up with you throughout this period and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible fit. As your mouth changes over time, we can also reline or refit your dentures to maintain a comfortable fit and optimal function.
How Do You Care for Your Dentures?
Here is a look at how to care for your new dentures:
- Remove and rinse your complete or partial dentures after eating to clear food debris.
- Brush your restorations daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.
- Soak your restorations in water or a denture solution overnight to keep them from drying out.
- Never use hot water, which can warp the shape of your dentures.
- Visit Traditions Dental for your regular dental exams and cleanings so we can monitor your oral health and ensure your dentures stay in tip-top shape.
