Dentures Q & A

What are dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace extracted or missing permanent teeth. They look, function, and feel like natural teeth and create a flawless smile. Greenhill Family Dental Care offers an array of dentures to match your needs. They tailor a restorative dental treatment based on your dental history, preferences, and goals.

What are the benefits of dentures?

The benefits to expect when choosing dentures at Greenhill Family Dental Care include:

  • Clearer speech
  • Less adjacent teeth shifting
  • Easier chewing
  • Beautiful smile
  • Natural-looking teeth
  • No gaps
  • Improved elf-confidence

You can choose the type of dentures you prefer based on your lifestyle.

What are the different types of dentures?

Examples of the different dentures available at Greenhill Family Dental Care include full dentures, which replace all of your natural teeth, and partial dentures that replace just some teeth. Dentures are either removable or non-removable (fixed in place). 

Implant-supported dentures are secured permanently using dental implants, which are metal posts inserted into your jawbone that bond to artificial teeth. 

Are dentures right for me?

Anyone with missing permanent teeth can take advantage of dentures. However, the type that’s best suited for you depends on your mouth structure, jawbone strength, and other factors. Your dentist discusses your options, reviews your goals, and creates a customized treatment. If your teeth are severely damaged or decaying, you might first undergo tooth extraction. 

What happens when receiving dentures?

What to expect when receiving dentures depends on the type you choose. If you need implants, your dentist numbs the treatment area and inserts metal posts into your jaw to anchor fixed dentures. Your dentist can scan your mouth to fit you for removable dentures. They ensure a comfortable fit and explain how to care for your new teeth.

How can I protect my new dentures?

Take good care of your dentures by keeping them clean and not chewing on hard objects. You take removable dentures out of your mouth at night to rest your gums and reduce harmful mouth bacteria. Dentures are strong and long-lasting, but call the Greenhill Family Dental Care office if they become damaged, loose, lost, or broken.
