Dentures Offer Improved Dental Health

Although dentures alone are not physiologically identical to your actual teeth, they are the next best alternative. The need for dentures can arise from a loss of your natural teeth due to periodontal disease, injury, and tooth decay. 

Let the skilled technicians at Pine Belt Dental PLLC & Dr. John Guillot bring back your smile with dentures to restore your missing teeth. With improved technology and updated materials, we can make them appear more natural and more comfortable for the patient.

Replacing your missing or damaged teeth will benefit not only your appearance but your overall health. Using state-of-the-art technology and updated materials, dentures can now be custom designed to look natural and feel more comfortable.

It may take some time to adjust to your dentures. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but these activities will resume normally once you are accustomed to your dentures.

You no longer have to wait days or weeks for your dentures. We have an in-house denture lab that can provide the timely fabrication of your dentures as well as same-day denture repairs in many situations.

Denture Types and Maintenance

Complete dentures are artificial, removable replacements for the natural teeth of the upper or lower jaw – or both.

Upper dentures are generally held in place by a vacuum created between your appliance and the palate of your mouth.

Lower dentures are horseshoe-shaped to accommodate the tongue. Due to lack of suction, they are often held in place by implants placed in the jaw for support.

Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth by attaching a metal framework to your natural teeth.

Proper denture care is essential to the durability of your dentures and the overall health of your mouth: 

• Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush 
• When not worn, keep partials in denture solution/water (not hot) to prevent warping
• Handle with care and keep out of the reach of children and pets 
• If your dentures become loose, chip, break, or crack, see your dentist right away
