Dentures Specialist

What are dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace missing permanent teeth or those that require extraction because of severe decay or damage. Dentures offer an array of benefits for your oral health and self-confidence. Freeman Dental offers many different types of dentures to choose from.

What are the different types of dentures?

Some of the sturdy dentures available at Freeman Dental include:

• Traditional removable dentures
• Implant-supported dentures
• Overdentures
• Immediate dentures after extraction
• Implant-supported dentures
• Full dentures that replace all-natural teeth
• Partial dentures that replace some natural teeth

Your Freeman Dental specialist works with you to determine which dentures match your needs, lifestyle, and preferences.

To find the best type of dentures for you, your dentist discusses your oral health history, examines your teeth and gums, takes dental X-rays if needed, and asks questions about your desired outcome. Freeman Dental uses a digital panorex machine for X-rays to minimize radiation exposure.

What are the benefits of dentures?

The benefits you can expect after receiving dentures at Freeman Dental include:

• Beautiful, natural-looking teeth
• Full set of teeth
• No more gaps
• Easier chewing
• Clearer speech
• Improved facial contours and symmetry
• Self-confidence
• Better quality of life

Dentures at Freeman Dental are made of quality, long-lasting materials and fit inside of your mouth comfortably. 

What should I expect when getting dentures?

Your dentist digitally scans your mouth, which allows a dental lab to develop custom-fitted dentures. Your provider might first remove damaged or decaying teeth by extracting them. If you’re a candidate for implant-supported dentures, your dentist surgically places metal tooth roots in your jaw bone and allows the implants to heal before creating your dentures.

When the custom-fitted dentures are ready, your Freeman Dental dentist makes sure they fit properly and comfortably or attaches the dentures to dental implants.

How can I take good care of my dentures?

Taking good care of your new dentures ensures they last a long time. Brush them with toothpaste or use a denture cleaning solution as directed by your dentist. Avoid chewing on hard candy, ice, and other hard objects.

You should also see the Freeman Dental experts every six months for dental cleanings and exams. If your dentures get damaged, don’t wait for your next routine appointment. Call the office right away.
