Whether you need full or partial dentures, our team is here to help you regain the function and appearance of your teeth.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. There are two main types of dentures:

  • Full Dentures: Full dentures are used when all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. They consist of a gum-colored base that supports a full set of prosthetic teeth.
  • Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They are designed to fill the gaps left by missing teeth, using a metal or acrylic framework that attaches to your remaining natural teeth.

Benefits of Dentures

The Denture Process

At Ashley Mooney, DDS, we take great care to ensure your dentures are designed to meet your specific needs and fit comfortably:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Mooney will examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine if full or partial dentures are the right solution for you. We’ll also evaluate your gum health and the condition of any remaining teeth.
  2. Impressions: Impressions of your mouth will be taken to create a custom set of dentures that fit snugly and look natural.
  3. Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, we’ll fit them to your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and stability.
  4. Follow-Up Care: After receiving your dentures, we’ll provide guidance on how to care for them and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures continue to fit properly.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care of your dentures is essential for maintaining their appearance and function. Here are some tips to keep your dentures in good condition:

  • Clean Daily: Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
  • Soak Overnight: When not in use, soak your dentures in a denture cleaning solution or water to keep them from drying out.
  • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Even if you have full dentures, it’s important to brush your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth to promote healthy oral tissues.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Visit us regularly to ensure your dentures fit well and to check for any adjustments that may be needed.
