Should I get dentures?

As we age or face dental challenges, many of us find ourselves contemplating tooth replacement solutions. The journey to restoring your smile is filled with various options, each tailored to fit different budgets, lifestyles, and aesthetic desires. For those who have lost most of their natural teeth and are seeking an economical yet effective solution, dentures are an excellent choice. Crafted from durable materials and designed for comfort, dentures fit snugly over your gums. Depending on your specific needs, you can opt for either partial or full dentures to replace the desired number of teeth and regain a confident, radiant smile.

The Denture Treatment Process

Digital Scans

Digital Scans

Once your eligibility for treatment is confirmed, your dentist will collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Following this, our team will capture mess-free digital scans of your mouth. These images are then forwarded to a dental laboratory, where the creation of your custom prosthetic begins. In the interim, temporary dentures might be provided to safeguard your gums as you await the completion of your permanent set.

Tooth Extraction (If Needed)

Tooth Extraction (If Needed)

In certain scenarios, tooth extractions might be necessary to accommodate your new dentures. To initiate this process, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Post-extraction, it's crucial to rest extensively for at least 24 hours. You will receive comprehensive care instructions from your dentist to ensure a comfortable and pain-free recovery period.

Fitting and Adjustments

Fitting and Adjustments

Upon the completion of your dentures, you'll revisit the office for the fitting phase. This step involves meticulous adjustments to maximize the comfort and functionality of your dentures. Regular office visits for annual check-ups are recommended to maintain the quality of your dentures. With proper care, a set of dentures can serve you well for up to a decade.

I took my daughter to their dental clinic, the staff there are very friendly and communicative. Especially Dr. Belle, she explained my daughter’s cavity treatment very well and detailed, she is so patient and professional, that helps my daughter to ease her anxiety of dental visit. The view of the ocean is a plus!

Best experience with Dr. Belle! Staff is so accommodating and great at making me feel comfortable. I experienced no pain throughout the entire time. Plus the view was amazing. If you are in town this is worth the drive out for a great dental experience.

Megan L.

Dr Belle is the best. She is very flexible with both mine and my childrens appointments and their office is great because Dr. Belle's husband is a pediatric dentist Dr. Hans. So not only do i get a great general dentist for myself but my kids can be seen by a child's SPECIALIST dentist who specializes in childrens dentistry. Super rare and unique opportunity all while getting the best care. Easy and convenient location and lots of free parking. Highly recommend!!

To see if you’re a candidate for dentures, we recommend a personal consultation with your dentist. During this visit, they will assess your oral health, including the condition of your jaw and gums, to determine if dentures are a suitable option for you. Additionally, they can offer advice on alternative restorative treatments that might better align with your dental aspirations.

Dentures are crafted from a robust combination of metal and acrylic, constructed at a reputable partner laboratory. The process begins with your dentist taking impressions of your teeth and gums. These are then sent to the lab, where a precise acrylic model of your teeth is made based on detailed impressions. Once your dentures are completed and delivered to us, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit.

Dentures typically have a lifespan of seven to ten years. Given that your mouth undergoes continual changes, periodic adjustments are essential to maintain a proper fit. We advise yearly check-ups to keep your dentures in prime condition, thereby prolonging their life and helping you save money while enjoying your smile.

Everyone's experience adapting to dentures varies. It's common for some patients to experience initial discomfort with their new set. Our team will ensure your dentures are precisely fitted to your gums to minimize any potential issues like slipping or irritation. Proper home care of your dentures is also crucial to avoid damage and enhance comfort.

Leveraging modern technology and high-definition imaging, your dentist will craft a set of custom dentures that closely mimic your natural teeth. These dentures are tailored to align seamlessly with your jaw and gum line, ensuring a natural look.

Dentures are a widely sought-after and reasonably priced restorative option. Consequently, many dental insurance plans typically cover a portion of denture costs. Coverage specifics, however, vary based on your individual insurance plan. For a clearer understanding of your dental insurance benefits, we recommend reaching out to your provider or speaking with a member of our team.
