At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we provide high-quality, custom-made dentures and partial dentures designed to fit comfortably, look natural, and improve your ability to chew and speak. Whether you need full dentures or partial dentures, our team will work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your needs and helps you regain your smile.
What Are Dentures and Partials?
Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types:
- Full Dentures: Full dentures are used when all the teeth in a particular arch (upper or lower) are missing. They are designed to fit comfortably over your gums, providing a natural look and restoring the ability to eat and speak.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place with clasps or precision attachments that connect to the remaining natural teeth.
Both full and partial dentures are made from durable materials like acrylic or porcelain, which blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and gums.
The Denture & Partial Process
At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, the process of getting dentures or partials involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and comfortable experience:
- Initial Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine whether dentures or partials are right for you. If you have remaining natural teeth, we will discuss whether a partial denture is a good option or if extraction is necessary for a full denture.
- Impressions and Measurements: We will take detailed impressions of your mouth and gums to create a custom set of dentures or partials that fit your mouth perfectly. These impressions ensure that the dentures will feel comfortable and function properly.
- Temporary Dentures (if necessary): In some cases, temporary dentures may be provided while your permanent ones are being made. This helps you adjust to wearing dentures and ensures your mouth is ready for the final set.
- Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures or partials are ready, your dentist will ensure a proper fit, making any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality. You may need to return for a follow-up visit to make any final adjustments.
Benefits of Dentures & Partials
Dentures and partial dentures offer several advantages for people who are missing teeth:
- Improved Appearance: Dentures restore the natural contours of your face and smile, helping you look and feel younger.
- Enhanced Function: With dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and speak clearly again, improving your overall quality of life.
- Improved Confidence: A well-fitted denture helps you smile confidently without worrying about gaps or missing teeth.
- Comfortable Fit: Modern dentures and partials are custom-designed for your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.
- Affordable Solution: Dentures and partials are often more affordable compared to other tooth replacement options, like dental implants.
At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we make sure that your dentures or partials are designed to fit comfortably, look natural, and restore the function of your teeth.
