Overview
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your appearance, smile, confidence, and health. At Mega Dental, we have dentures custom-made to fit your mouth and create the best aesthetic and functional results possible. Dentures restore the ability to bite and chew food, improving nutrition and digestion, and enhance speech by replacing teeth that affect pronunciation. It may take some time to adjust, but any initial bulkiness or soreness generally resolves as your mouth adapts.
Full and partial dentures
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw, with a natural-looking acrylic base that rests on the gums. Partial dentures fill the gaps when some natural teeth remain, anchoring to those teeth with discreet clasps or precision attachments. For added stability, implant-supported dentures snap onto implants for a secure, slip-free fit.
Supporting your face and confidence
When teeth are lost, facial muscles sag and the face looks older. Dentures support those muscles for a more youthful appearance. Modern dentures closely resemble natural teeth in shape and color, so your smile looks — and feels — like your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does it take to get used to dentures?
- Most patients adjust within a few weeks. Starting with soft foods and reading aloud helps. We make adjustments as your gums settle for a comfortable, secure fit.
- Will my dentures slip when I eat or talk?
- Well-fit dentures stay secure for most activities. For complete stability, implant-supported dentures snap onto implants and eliminate slipping entirely. We'll discuss the best option for your needs.
- Do I still need dental checkups if I have dentures?
- Yes. We check your gums, the fit of your dentures, and screen for oral disease. Your mouth changes over time, and regular adjustments keep dentures comfortable and your mouth healthy.
