Dentures Available to Patients in the Reno, NV, Area

Restoring More Than Your Smile

Missing teeth can affect much more than your appearance. They can make it difficult to chew certain foods, speak clearly, and feel confident in social situations. Over time, tooth loss can also contribute to changes in your facial structure as the jaw no longer receives the support provided by natural teeth.

Our comprehensive denture services are designed to restore both the function and beauty of your smile. Every denture is customized to fit comfortably and complement your facial features, helping you enjoy greater confidence during everyday activities. Whether you have recently lost teeth or have been living with missing teeth for years, our team is here to help you find a solution that fits your needs.

Which Type of Denture Is Right for You?

There are two types of available dentures; full and partial. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when only one or more teeth are missing in an area of the mouth.

Partial Dentures

For those who are missing a few teeth, but still have healthy teeth, partial dentures may be recommended to restore your healthy smile. A partial denture fills in the gaps to complete your smile by connecting to your existing teeth. It consists of a removable plastic base that is matched to the color of your gums, with porcelain or plastic teeth attached to it.

Full Dentures

If you are missing most or all of your teeth, a full denture may be recommended. Full dentures form a seal with the gums so they are held in place. A full denture consists of a lower and/or an upper arch, and a plastic base. The base is the color of your natural gums and holds a full set of porcelain or plastic teeth.

Benefits of Full and Partial Dentures

Modern full and partial dentures offer significant improvements over older designs. Today's materials are lightweight, durable, and crafted to closely resemble natural teeth and gums. Patients often find that their new dentures not only restore their smile but also improve everyday comfort and function.

Some of the benefits include:

• Improved chewing ability
• Enhanced speech
• A fuller, more youthful facial appearance
• Increased confidence when smiling and interacting with others
• Customized fit for greater comfort
• A cost-effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth

Our denture services focus on creating restorations that look natural while helping you enjoy everyday activities with greater ease.

Personalized Denture Services

Every smile is unique, which is why no two dentures are exactly alike. We will carefully evaluate your oral health, jaw structure, and aesthetic goals before recommending treatment. Detailed impressions and precise measurements allow us to create dentures that fit comfortably and function properly.

Our goal is to provide dentures that feel secure while complementing your facial features and natural smile. Throughout the process, we encourage patients to ask questions so they fully understand their treatment options and know what to expect.

What to Expect When Getting Dentures

Receiving dentures typically involves several appointments for the best possible fit. At your initial consultation, the dentist will examine your teeth and offer a recommended course of treatment for your specific needs. For patients seeking a more secure and long-lasting tooth replacement option, implants can also be used to help stabilize dentures and improve overall comfort and function.

Once impressions are taken, your custom dentures are fabricated to match the size, shape, and color that best suits your smile. After they are ready, we will carefully check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. As you begin wearing your dentures, it is normal to experience a short adjustment period while your mouth adapts to the new restoration.

Our team will be available to answer questions and make additional adjustments if needed to maximize your comfort.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper maintenance helps keep your dentures looking their best and functioning properly for years to come. Just like natural teeth, dentures should be cleaned every day to remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria.

To help extend the life of your dentures, we recommend:

• Cleaning your dentures daily with appropriate cleaning products
• Removing dentures as instructed to allow your gums to rest
• Handling dentures carefully to avoid accidental damage
• Scheduling regular dental checkups to evaluate the fit and condition of your dentures
• Contacting our office if your dentures become loose or uncomfortable

Routine visits allow us to monitor your oral health and make sure your dentures continue to fit comfortably as your mouth changes over time.
