Dentures – Frisco, TX

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures are a lifechanging tooth replacement option for people who are missing anywhere from several to all of their teeth. Depending on the number of teeth that you are missing and where they are located in the mouth, a customized plan can be created just for you. Just keep in mind that if you have any existing oral health issues, like tooth decay or gum disease, they will need to be treated before you’re able to move forward in the process of getting dentures. The health of your smile is our number one priority!

Types of Dentures

During your initial consultation, we will determine which of the following options is best for you:

Partial Dentures

If a dental bridge isn’t enough to restore your smile, a partial denture may be a good option for you. They are customized to fit perfectly in the mouth between your remaining healthy teeth. Partial dentures can replace teeth in different locations of the mouth and keep neighboring teeth from shifting around and causing misalignment issues.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are supported by the shape and natural suction of the mouth and gums. They are used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the top or bottom. It’s crafted with a lifelike base and enamel-colored set of replacement teeth. Ultimately, this allows for a beautiful, natural-looking appearance.

Implant Dentures

If you want a more stable, longer-lasting solution, dental implant dentures could be what you’re looking for. We will start by placing a series of dentures throughout the jawbone before attaching the customized restoration. With implant dentures, you can expect 70% of your natural chewing function to be restored. This type of denture is designed to last for decades with proper maintenance, so you don’t need to worry about replacements. To make a good candidate for implant dentures, you need to have a strong jawbone to support them. During your consultation, we can determine if they are the right option for you.
