Dentures serve as an effective method for rejuvenating your smile, enhancing your speech, and improving your ability to chew. Complete dentures are designed to restore both appearance and functionality when all teeth are missing. They are tailored to look natural and fit comfortably in your mouth, replacing your lost teeth. Typically removable, complete dentures may need some adjustments to ensure they align well with your gums and mouth. The denture process starts with a thorough consultation to evaluate your oral health. After a detailed examination and deciding on the best type of dentures for you, impressions and measurements will be taken to guarantee a personalized fit. A prototype will then be made for you to try on, allowing us to check both comfort and aesthetics. The final fitting will involve making any needed modifications to secure an optimal fit, function, and look. Once you are pleased with the adjustments, your permanent dentures will be delivered. Our dental team will instruct you on how to care for your dentures and will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your ongoing comfort and satisfaction.
If you still have some natural teeth but are seeking an effective way to replace multiple missing ones while safeguarding your remaining teeth, partial dentures could be the ideal option for you. A removable partial denture is designed for those who retain one or more natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base that enhances mouth functionality. Like complete dentures, there is also the option for a more permanent solution that can be securely cemented in place. The advantages of partial dentures include improved functionality, like better chewing, speech, and overall oral performance, along with enhanced aesthetics. Each partial denture is custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile. They also help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting, maintaining proper alignment.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
