Benefits of Custom Dentures

Custom dentures can provide several benefits for patients with missing teeth:

Natural-looking smile: Dentures are designed to complement your facial features and create a natural-looking appearance.
Improved function: Replacing missing teeth can make it easier to enjoy eating and chewing your favorite foods.
Clearer speech: Dentures can help support normal speech by replacing missing teeth and filling spaces in your smile.
Multiple tooth replacement: Partial and full dentures can replace several missing teeth or restore an entire dental arch.
Customized fit: Your dentures are created using impressions and measurements of your mouth for a comfortable, secure fit.

Types of Dentures

Traditional Full Dentures

Traditional full dentures are designed to replace all of the teeth on the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile after significant tooth loss.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while allowing your remaining natural teeth to stay in place. They can help fill gaps in your smile while supporting improved chewing and speech.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This can provide additional stability compared with traditional removable dentures and may help prevent the denture from shifting during everyday activities.

Replacing an Old Denture

Dentures can eventually become worn, damaged, or loose as your mouth changes over time. If your current dentures no longer fit comfortably or function properly, Dr. Kim can evaluate them and discuss whether a new set of custom dentures may be appropriate.

The Step-by-Step Denture Process

Your denture treatment may include several steps:

Consultation & Planning: Dr. Kim evaluates your oral health and discusses your tooth replacement goals before developing a personalized treatment plan.
Extractions: If damaged or unhealthy teeth need to be removed, extractions may be performed before your dentures are placed.
Impressions & Fabrication: Impressions and measurements of your mouth are used to create dentures designed for your individual anatomy.
Fitting & Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, we will check their fit and make adjustments as needed to improve comfort, function, and appearance.
