Dentures
Missing teeth? You’re not alone. Dentures are a standard solution for missing teeth, and they offer a variety of benefits over other treatments. We can help develop the perfect denture set. They’re made from durable materials, so you can wear them all day without worrying about them falling out or breaking. If you need dentures, see us, the top-rated Lubbock dentist.
what are dentures, and what are they used for?
- Dentures are prosthetic teeth used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of porcelain or plastic and are held in place by suction or a small amount of adhesive. We can use them to improve the function and appearance of your smile.
how do dentures work?
Dentures work by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. They can be taken out and put back in as needed, making them easy to clean and manage.
types of dentures available
There are three main types of dentures available: complete dentures, partial dentures, and immediate dentures. We use complete dentures to replace all teeth in an arch and partial dentures to replace some. Immediate dentures are placed immediately after removing natural teeth and are a temporary solution until the permanent dentures are ready.
what is the process for dentures in lubbock?
The process for dentures typically takes place over a few weeks. We will take impressions of your teeth and gums during the first visit. These impressions create models of your mouth and carefully craft the dentures as a perfect match for your smile. We will fit the dentures into your mouth on the second visit and make any necessary adjustments. We will also provide you with instructions on caring for your new dentures.
how to care for your dentures
Caring for your dentures is essential to keep them looking and feeling their best. Be sure to brush your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. It would help if you soaked them in a denture-soaking solution at least once daily to remove any plaque or food particles.
how much do dentures cost?
Complete dentures can be more expensive than partial dentures, but the cost will depend on various factors, including the nature of your unique dental situation. Dental insurance may also cover part or all of the cost of dentures. Call today for a consultation to get an estimate of how much your dentures will cost.
