Who is a Candidate for Dentures?

After your consultation, Dr. Hegazin will be able to provide you with a personalized treatment plan with the best dentures for your smile.

Benefits of Dentures

We have various denture options because they provide our patients with a wide range of benefits like:

• Appearance: Dentures allow you to enjoy the appearance of a complete and beautiful smile that is ready to show off in any social or professional setting.
• Confidence: If you’ve been hiding your smile in public or for photos, dentures give you a boost of confidence and self-esteem.
• Lifestyle: Enjoy the ability to eat a wider range of foods as well as easier speaking to make your day-to-day life more comfortable and fun.
• Convenience: Our dentures come in removeable and fixed options, giving you the solution that works best for your smile.
• Health: If you choose implant-retained dentures, the dental implants stimulate your jawbone to prevent it from further deterioration after tooth loss.

Types of Dentures

We offer different types of dentures based on your pattern of tooth loss, including:

Implant-Supported Dentures

While traditional removable dentures replace the parts of your teeth that are visible above the gum line, they leave out the very important supportive tooth root structure. For added stability and longevity, dental implants can be used to replace the tooth roots and support your partial or full denture.

Cost of Dentures

It’s difficult to provide you with a precise cost estimate because of the many factors that can impact the price of your treatment. No two smiles are the same, which is why the best way to receive an estimate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hegazin. After examining your mouth, he will be able to choose the right denture for your smile, and your treatment plan will include your cost. In some cases, you may be able to get insurance coverage, but this will all depend on your plan. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

Aftercare for Dentures

When you’re getting used to a new denture, you may get frustrated, but by keeping the following tips in mind, you can make your transition to wearing dentures a little smoother:

• Don’t start out wearing your partial or full denture all day every day. Instead, wear the dentures for a few hours at a time to get used to them.
• Try reciting tongue twisters and singing with your denture in place to get used to speaking clearly and build your confidence to communicate in any situation.
• Test the limits of your denture when eating meals, but don’t overdo it Start out with soft foods and gradually introduce more difficult to chew meals.
• Take care of your denture as well as any healthy remaining teeth. Take your dentures out before you go to bed. Brush them carefully and store them overnight in a container of water or denture cleaning fluid. If you have remaining natural teeth, continue to brush and floss these. If you don’t have remaining teeth, you can gently brush your gum tissue and/or use antimicrobial mouth rinse to prevent plaque buildup on your soft tissue.
