PARTIALS & DENTURES

Even with the array of options available for replacing missing teeth, dentures continue to stand out as a top choice for many. When crafted with precision, they seamlessly blend in and provide a natural appearance.

At Live Oak Dental Group, we assist people of all ages in finding the perfect denture type for their needs.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable artificial teeth that are used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are usually made from acrylic resin, nylon, or metal and are custom-fitted to your mouth.

Are There Different Types of Dentures?

Yes, dentures can be separated into two categories based on how many teeth are missing.

Complete Dentures: These dentures replace all teeth in your upper or lower jaw, or both.
Partial Dentures: These dentures replace only a few missing teeth and are clasped or hooked onto the remaining natural teeth.

Are Partials & Dentures Right for Me?

Dentures may be an excellent choice for you if you suffer from significant tooth loss but generally have healthy gums and facial bones.

However, if you have gum disease or other oral health issues, addressing these concerns may be necessary before getting dentures. Moreover, alternatives like dental bridges or dental implants may be better choices for those missing just a few teeth.

What Is the Process for Getting Dentures or Partials?

Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss the need for dentures or partials.
If any remaining teeth need to be extracted or dental work is required, your dentist will prepare your mouth accordingly.
Your dentist will take impressions and measurements of your mouth, which will serve as a basis for crafting your custom dentures or partials.
Several try-on appointments may be necessary to ensure the optimal fit, color, and shape of your dentures or partials.
Your dentist will place your completed dentures or partials at your last appointment. They will confirm that they feel and look amazing before finalizing the process.
