Dentures and Partial Dentures
At McKinney Dental, we offer custom-crafted dentures and partial dentures as effective solutions for replacing missing teeth and restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Mary Zoe Collier DDS and our experienced team are dedicated to providing personalized care and high-quality dental prosthetics to help you achieve a confident and comfortable smile.
What are Dentures and Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace multiple missing teeth in one or both dental arches. Partial dentures are similar but are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. Both dentures and partial dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in the mouth, restoring the appearance and function of natural teeth.
Types of Dentures:
1. Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in one or both dental arches. They consist of a pink acrylic base that supports a full set of artificial teeth, providing a lifelike and functional replacement for missing teeth.
2. Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. They consist of a metal or acrylic framework that supports one or more artificial teeth, which are attached to the remaining natural teeth using clasps or other connectors.
The Denture Process:
1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Collier will evaluate your oral health, discuss your tooth replacement options, and determine if dentures or partial dentures are the right solution for you.
2. Impressions: Impressions of your mouth will be taken to create custom-made dentures or partial dentures that fit comfortably and securely.
3. Fitting: Once your dentures or partial dentures are ready, Dr. Collier will ensure that they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
4. Finalization: After any adjustments have been made, your dentures or partial dentures will be finalized, and you will receive instructions on how to care for and maintain them.
Benefits of Dentures and Partial Dentures:
