Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can also impact your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident in social settings. At River Valley Smile Center, we provide high-quality dentures designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile, helping you enjoy life to the fullest.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They come in two main types:
- Complete: for patients missing all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial: for those who still have some natural teeth remaining.
Thanks to modern advancements, today’s types are more natural-looking, comfortable, and durable than ever before.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restoring facial volume and preventing a sunken appearance
- Improving your ability to chew and speak clearly
- Boosting self-esteem and enhancing your quality of life
- Preventing remaining teeth from shifting (in the case of partial)
What to Expect When Getting Dentures
The process of getting custom dentures involves several steps over multiple visits. First, we take impressions and precise measurements of your mouth. These are used to create ones that fit comfortably and securely. Once they’re ready, we’ll place them and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible fit and function.
How to Care for Your Dentures
To keep them in great shape, clean them daily with a soft-bristled brush and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution. It’s also important to continue seeing your dentist regularly to check the fit and monitor your oral health.
