Regain your health and happiness

Dentures allow patients who are having difficulty eating to be able to eat. They allow patients who are having difficulty speaking to be able to speak. One of the most noticeable things is they allow patients to smile that haven't been smiling for years. They help us restore what we've had to remove, to alleviate pain and infection. They overall provide a healthier patient.

Modern dentures will:

  • Restore your confident smile
  • Give you the ability to enjoy many different kinds of foods
  • Fill out your cheeks so your face looks younger
  • Give you a choice of conventional dentures or dental implant dentures

Call 817-275-4817 today for a consultation. Our dentists will examine you, review all your dentures options, and help you select the replacement teeth that will best suit your needs.

Prevent Bone Loss With Dental Implant Dentures

Conventional dentures restore your smile’s appearance and function. However, they don’t provide the kind of stimulation your jaw needs to stay strong. After you lose teeth, your jaw shrinks over time due to a process called resorption. This gives your face a sunken look and requires periodic relinings to maintain a secure fit for your replacement teeth.

Your jaw will stay intact if your replacement teeth are attached to dental implants. With our implant expertise, we offer several kinds of dental implant dentures:

  • Implant-Retained Dentures – A system of snaps and balls keeps your teeth securely in place, with no adhesive needed.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – Our dentists will anchor your replacement teeth to a sturdy metal bar. Doing so gives you bite strength similar to what you enjoyed prior to losing teeth.
  • All-on-4® Dental Implants – This procedure, during which we attach a full arch of fixed replacement teeth to four carefully placed dental implants, is more affordable than other full-mouth implant options.

Choose From Other Dentures Options

Not everyone can or wants to get implants. That’s why you’ll find other kinds of dentures here:

  • Full Dentures – Replace every tooth in your mouth with this reliable option.
  • Partial Dentures – Partials work well if you have some healthy teeth remaining and would prefer to avoid extracting teeth.
  • Temporary Dentures – You can wear temporary dentures while your mouth heals following teeth removal.

Common Questions About Dentures

Today’s dentures look remarkably close to natural teeth. Thanks to advances in the materials used to create dentures, you can have a smile that looks complete and looks as good as new. You also can avoid slippery dentures by securing them with dental implants. With the right dentures, you can have a confident smile again.

Yes, you can repair dentures that have become worn down or don’t fit as well as they once did. Through a process called relining, your dentures can be reshaped to fit more snugly in your mouth. At the same time, many people will get dental implants to avoid the kind of bone loss that makes relining necessary. Implants add stability and support for your dentures in place of adhesives.

This is a question you have to answer for yourself. However, our doctors will be happy to explain your options and answer any questions you may have about the different types of dentures that are available. We will do everything we can to help you find the best dentures for your situation, whether that is a partial denture or a set of implant-supported dentures.

To care for your dentures, clean them daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. Always store them in a damp environment, such as a denture soak solution, to prevent warping or drying out.

Post-Op Care for Dentures and Partials

After you get your new denture or partial, it’s perfectly normal for things to feel a little awkward for a little while. Some things that you might experience discomfort with are:

  • Sore Spots – Usually, your mouth will have a few “sore spots” after wearing the denture/partial for 24 hours. These areas can be relieved with very little effort during your next appointment.
  • Speaking – Learning to speak with your new dentures in place requires some patience and perseverance. Reading loud is a very good way to enunciate distinctly, especially those sounds or words that are not clear.
  • Chewing – The new bite may not feel completely comfortable for several weeks. We can adjust the contacting surfaces of your teeth after the dentures/partials have settled into place.

If you only have a partial, and not a full denture, use special care to clean parts of the partial that contact any natural teeth. Both the partial and the natural teeth must be kept very clean on a daily basis to reduce the chance of new dental decay starting.

Be sure to check your dentures at least once annually as changes in the mouth, such as bone loss, and a wearing of the teeth will inevitably occur. Careful maintenance of the dentures and the supporting soft tissues will help to slow down these changes. Fielder Park Dental wants you to have a comfortable pathway to a complete smile with your denture or partial so if you ever have any questions or concerns, contact our office.
