What Are Dentures?

Removable or fixed dentures are an effective option for replacing lost teeth. These helpful pieces can make it simpler to talk and bite into food with confidence while also improving the look of your mouth following tooth loss. Dr. Cassandra Montemayor provides full and partial detachable and implant-supported dentures for individuals in Schertz, TX. Full dentures replace every one of the teeth in the top arch, bottom arch, or both while partial dentures are used when a few of the natural teeth are still in the mouth. To find out whether detachable or implant-supported dentures are most effective for your goals and to have them custom-made to fit your mouth, reach out to Savannah Smiles Dental for your denture evaluation.

What are the Benefits of Dentures?

At Savannah Smiles Dental, we understand the importance of replacing one or more missing teeth. This is why we offer full and partial dentures for restoring your smile. Dr. Montemayor can provide patients with removable or fixed dentures, both of which offer several perks. Detachable and implant-supported dentures can:

  • Improve the appearance of your smile
  • Help with the stability of your bite
  • Help you chew and speak more effectively
  • Help maintain a healthy facial structure
  • Increase your self-esteem and confidence!

What Is the Denture Process?

We will start the process for dentures by getting 3D or physical impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions will then be forwarded to a dental lab, which will create your customized dentures. Full and bridge dentures are made up of light resin, which might be reinforced by an internal metal frame. Dentures are intended to mimic the look of real teeth and the gumline. When your dentures are finished, we will have you come back to our Schertz, TX office for a fitting. Dr. Montemayor will alter your appliances so they fit snugly or latch them to dental implants that have been placed previously. She will also go over the appropriate techniques to maintain your brand-new dentures.

What Should I Expect After Getting My Dentures?

Accomplishing your daily activities, like eating and talking comfortably, may take some time; however, they will be more natural as you adjust. If your dentures feel like they are shifting around, contact Savannah Smiles Dental so our team can schedule an adjustment follow-up. You should care for your dentures by cleaning them using a delicate brush after every meal and placing them in water nightly to prevent them from drying out. We ask you to visit Savannah Smiles Dental for regular exams so Dr. Montemayor can keep track of the condition of your tooth replacements and your general dental wellness for many years in the future.
