Restore Your Smile with Dentures in Woodway
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable restorations used to replace multiple missing teeth. They are carefully designed to restore the appearance of your smile while also helping you chew and speak comfortably.
Dentures may be recommended for patients who have lost several teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or long-term wear.
Dentures can replace:
- several missing teeth
- an entire upper or lower arch of teeth
- teeth lost over time due to dental disease
Modern dentures are designed to look more natural and fit more comfortably than many people expect.
A Thoughtful Approach to Tooth Replacement
Replacing missing teeth is important for both function and oral health.
At WM Dentistry, denture treatment begins with a careful evaluation of your oral health, jaw structure, and remaining teeth. Dr. Morgan discusses the available options and helps determine whether dentures are the most appropriate solution.
In some situations, additional treatments such as dental implants may also be considered to provide additional stability. The goal is to select the option that best supports long-term comfort and function.
What to Expect
Evaluation and Planning
Your dentist evaluates the health of your gums, remaining teeth, and jaw structure to determine the best type of denture.
Impressions
Detailed impressions are taken so the denture can be designed to fit comfortably and align properly with your bite.
Custom Fabrication
Your denture is crafted to match the natural appearance of teeth and gums while restoring the shape of your smile.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once the denture is placed, small adjustments may be made to improve comfort and ensure proper function.
How Long Do Dentures Last?
Dentures are designed to be durable, but they may require adjustments or replacement over time as the shape of the jaw naturally changes.
Routine dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the fit of your dentures and ensure your oral tissues remain healthy.
How Dentures Replace Missing Teeth
