At Montgomery Dental Care in Woodbury, MN, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on your daily life, self-esteem, and overall health. Whether due to decay, injury, or other dental conditions, losing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Fortunately, dentures offer an effective and aesthetic solution to restore your smile and functionality.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining.

Complete dentures can be further categorized into conventional and immediate dentures. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, typically ready for placement about 8 to 12 weeks after tooth removal. Immediate dentures, on the other hand, are prepared in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. This type allows patients to have teeth during the healing period but may require adjustments as the gums heal and shrink.

Benefits Of Dentures

Dentures offer numerous advantages, including:

Restored Functionality: Dentures allow you to chew and speak more effectively, improving your overall quality of life.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Modern dentures are designed to look like natural teeth, restoring your smile’s appearance.
Support for Facial Structures: Dentures help maintain the structure of your face, preventing the sagging that can occur with missing teeth.
Improved Self-Esteem: With a complete set of teeth, you can smile confidently and engage in social activities without hesitation.

Custom-Made for Comfort and Fit

At Montgomery Dental Care, we take great care in crafting dentures that are comfortable, well-fitting, and tailored to your specific needs. Our process begins with a thorough examination and consultation, during which Dr. Montgomery will assess your oral health and discuss your goals and preferences.

Using advanced dental technology, we create detailed impressions of your mouth to ensure a precise fit. Our dentures are made from high-quality materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. We also provide guidance on caring for your dentures to ensure their longevity and effectiveness.

The Denture Fitting Process

The process of getting dentures typically involves several steps:

Consultation and Examination: We evaluate your oral health and discuss your needs.
Impressions: Detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken to create a custom fit.
Trial Fittings: You may have several trial fittings to ensure the dentures fit comfortably and look natural.
Final Placement: Once the dentures are ready, they are adjusted for comfort and fit.

Partial Dentures

For patients who still have some natural teeth, partial dentures are an excellent option. These dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures not only fill in the spaces created by missing teeth but also prevent other teeth from changing position.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and functionality of your dentures. Here are some tips:

Daily Cleaning: Brush your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleanser.
Soaking: Soak your dentures overnight in a mild denture-soaking solution to keep them moist and retain their shape.
Rinse: Always rinse your dentures before putting them back in your mouth.
Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure your dentures fit properly and to monitor your oral health.
