Denture creation is a restorative process that helps replace missing teeth and restore oral function. Dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to fit the contours of a patient’s mouth, allowing for proper chewing, speaking and facial support. They may be full or partial, depending on the number of teeth being replaced and the specific needs of the patient.
Our dentist and team assess your dental and medical history, evaluate your oral structures and discuss your goals before beginning the denture process. Impressions of your gums, jaw and any remaining teeth are taken to ensure that the final appliance fits comfortably and functions effectively. Every denture is crafted to reflect the natural look and alignment of your teeth for a balanced and confident smile.
Common Goals of Denture Creation
Dentures are designed to restore both form and function. They can address several challenges, including:
- Replacing missing teeth for improved speech and eating
- Supporting facial muscles and preventing sagging
- Enhancing aesthetics by recreating a natural smile
- Improving bite alignment and oral function
- Restoring confidence and daily comfort
The denture creation process involves several steps, including taking molds, selecting tooth shape and shade, trying in a wax model and making adjustments before final placement. Precision is critical to ensuring the dentures feel stable and natural in your mouth.
