Effective Replacements for Missing Teeth

You deserve a smile that you’re proud of and the confidence that comes with it. If you have missing or damaged teeth, dentures can be an effective, removable solution to restore teeth and surrounding tissues.

Dentures are designed to resemble your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and restoring your ability to eat and speak comfortably.

Learn About Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are custom-made appliances used to replace a full arch of missing or extracted teeth. Dentures can be an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, but they do come with challenges. Unlike natural teeth, dentures may feel different in your mouth and require an adjustment period.

Traditional dentures can sometimes shift or slip, especially when speaking or chewing, which may limit their functionality. Additionally, they rely on your gums and bone for support, which can lead to discomfort over time as the bone changes. At River Oaks Dental, we will do everything in our power to maximize the fit of your dentures based on your unique anatomy.

Explore Removable Partial Dentures

A removable partial denture is a device used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. They usually consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base which is held in place in the mouth. Often crowns are needed to help retain your denture so that your partial denture can be as comfortable as possible.

What to Expect

New dentures may feel awkward or loose for the first few weeks until the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place and you are comfortable eating and speaking. Although this may require some practice, you will adjust and enjoy the benefits a full mouth of teeth can provide.

It is important to know that, although dentures are a good option to replace missing teeth, they are not as comfortable or as functional as your natural dentition.
