How modern dentures restore your smile at Modern Essence Dentistry
Eating, speaking, and smiling get easier, and your confidence comes back. Complete dentures make that possible when most or all of your teeth are missing or failing, and they are the most affordable way to restore a full arch of natural-looking teeth. Each one is customized to fit your mouth precisely, and today's dentures look dramatically more natural than those you may remember from a generation ago.
The video sets out what to expect. Impressions of your mouth come first and guide the making of your custom-fit denture. Over a few short adjustment visits, it is then refined to feel comfortable and look natural without irritating your gums. Within a few weeks, most patients have adapted to speaking and eating with the new denture.
Replacing missing teeth restores your face as well as your smile. With no teeth in place, the jawbone slowly shrinks and the lips and cheeks lose their support, which brings on wrinkles, a sunken profile, and a more aged look. A well-fitted denture gives that support back. And for patients who want even more stability, dental implants can lock the denture firmly in place.
Whether you're leaning toward an immediate denture (placed right after extractions) or a conventional one fitted once you've healed, we'll walk you through the trade-offs at your consultation. And if cost is a concern, ask about financing options.
