At West End Dental, we are dedicated to helping our patients regain their confidence through high-quality removable dentures. If you’ve experienced the loss of some or all of your teeth, our team is here to provide you with personalized solutions that meet both your cosmetic and functional needs.
Customized Denture Solutions
Creating the perfect dentures begins with understanding your unique requirements. Our process starts with a comprehensive examination, during which we take a series of impressions of your jaw, teeth, and gums. We also gather precise measurements to ensure a comfortable fit. Our skilled team will craft a model that is tested and adjusted until it perfectly matches your specifications. Once approved, this model is sent to a trusted dental lab to create your permanent dentures.
Types of Dentures We Offer
At West End Dental, we provide two primary types of dentures: Conventional Full Dentures and Partial Dentures.
Conventional Full Dentures are ideal for patients who require a complete replacement of their upper and/or lower teeth. After your gums have healed from any necessary extractions, we will take impressions and measurements to create a custom model. This model is carefully adjusted for fit and comfort before being sent to the lab for final fabrication. Once ready, we will make any minor adjustments to ensure that your new dentures fit securely and comfortably.
Partial Dentures, often referred to as dental bridges, are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. These dentures not only enhance aesthetics but also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gaps left by lost teeth. A partial denture typically involves placing a crown on the adjacent teeth and attaching a replacement tooth, ensuring a seamless look that matches your natural smile.
Maintenance and Follow-Up
It’s essential to follow up with our dental team as recommended to ensure your dentures continue to fit well over time. Regular adjustments may be necessary for optimal comfort. To maintain your dentures, clean them daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to prevent plaque buildup. Generally, we recommend having your dentures evaluated for replacement every 5-10 years.
