What are dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace extracted, damaged, or missing permanent teeth to create the beautiful smile you deserve. They can replace some or all of your natural teeth, depending on your oral health and cosmetic dental goals. Mamkin Dentistry Aesthetic & Restorative Center offers an array of custom-fitted dentures based on your needs.

What are the different types of dentures?

Mamkin Dentistry Aesthetic & Restorative Center provides removable and implant-supported (fixed) dentures. 

Traditional dentures

You can take removable dentures out of your mouth as needed and when you sleep. They look identical to beautiful natural teeth. 

Implant-supported dentures

Implant-supported dentures are fixed in place using dental implants, which are artificial metal tooth roots your dentist anchors to your jawbone.

Full and partial dentures

Partial dentures replace some natural teeth, while full dentures replace all of your original teeth. 

What are the benefits of dentures?

Dentures offer various benefits for your dental and overall health, including:

• No tooth gaps
• Natural-looking teeth
• Clearer speech
• Easier chewing
• Beautiful smile
• Greater self-confidence

Dentures can replace teeth that are severely decayed, damaged, or weak. They are sturdy, natural-looking, and long-lasting.

Are dentures right for me?

The Mamkin Dentistry Aesthetic & Restorative Center team determines if you’re a candidate for dentures and which dentures are best. They discuss your goals, review your oral health history, examine your gums and teeth, and take dental X-rays if needed. 

Your dentist may suggest tooth extraction or bone grafting before you receive new dentures. Your provider then personalizes a treatment plan and lets you know how to prepare.

What happens when receiving dentures?

This depends on the type of dentures you choose. Implant-supported dentures require a minor surgical procedure, which allows your dentist to insert dental implants into your jawbone. They scan your mouth, create custom-fitted dentures, and ensure they fit properly. The result is a new full set of natural-looking teeth and a beautiful smile. 

What should I expect afterward?

Take good care of your new dentures by brushing after meals, seeing your dentist regularly for dental exams and cleanings, and avoiding chewing on hard objects. Call the Mamkin Dentistry Aesthetic & Restorative Center office any time with questions or if your dentures get damaged.
