Dentures

Current research shows that 69 percent of adults have lost at least one tooth, and 50 million Americans have lost all of their teeth. Missing teeth can cause oral health problems and hinder your confidence. Dr. Browder or Dr. Liner may recommend dentures, removable dental appliances that replace lost teeth. Made to closely resemble your natural teeth, dentures can improve your dental health and revive supporting tissue.

You will need either complete or partial dentures, depending on how many teeth you have lost. Complete dentures substitute for all the teeth on your upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used when some original teeth remain. A partial denture will fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from moving.

To ensure the best fit, Dr. Browder or Dr. Liner will take detailed impressions and measurements for the technicians who will create your custom dentures. When you return, the dentist can check for proper color, shape, and fit. At the last visit, your doctor will adjust and place the completed denture to produce a natural, comfortable smile. Some patients experience soreness, increased saliva, and speech or chewing difficulty, but these issues will subside as your mouth adjusts to the dentures.
