Dentures Customized by Precious Smiles Family Dentistry

Dentures and partials can be an option for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile with the ability to chew comfortably.

At Precious Smiles Family Dentistry, each denture and partial are customized to fit the individual patient, providing a comfortable and natural-looking result. Because proper fit and customization take time, we do not offer same-day dentures.

Types of Dentures

  • Conventional Dentures: A complete denture that rests against the gums and palate.
  • Immediate Dentures:  Made in advance and placed immediately after the remaining teeth are removed.
  • Partial dentures: Replace some missing teeth typically 3 to 7 teeth per arch. 

Benefits of Dentures and Partials 

  • Restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably
  • Improve confidence and self-esteem
  • Support facial muscles and appearance
  • Replace missing teeth and restore your smile

It is normal for your mouth to need some time to adjust to new removal dentures and partials. Some professional adjustments will be common to help make sure everything fits just right. With routine wear, most patients become comfortable as they adapt to their removable denture/partial. 

At your delivery appointment, our team will review proper care and hygiene practices to help keep your dentures/partials comfortable and looking their best.

How to Care for Your Dentures

If you are used to missing teeth, it may take a few days for your mouth to adjust to your dentures. At first, it may feel awkward or even uncomfortable, even though Precious Smiles Family Dentistry custom fits them to fit your mouth. We ask that you give it a few days to try them out and let your mouth become accustomed to wearing the dentures regularly. Dentures are susceptible to the same decay and destruction as your real teeth if not properly cared for so remember to take care of them and clean them daily. When you come in to pick them up, Precious Smiles Family Dentistry will go over a recommended dental hygiene practices. To make your dentures last longer, and to keep them in top condition we suggest you add these practices to your daily routine. A soft toothbrush should always be used to lightly brush your dentures to remove any food. An oral rinse can be used after you remove your dentures to reduce the chances of bad breath and bacteria growth in the rest of your mouth.
