Why Should I Get Dentures?
If you have lost one or more teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury, dentures can be a life-changing solution. They not only restore your smile and facial appearance but also improve your ability to eat and speak. Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two types – complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Custom-made to fit your mouth, dentures can restore the look and function of your teeth, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest.

The Benefits Of Dentures
Improved Aesthetics
One of the most significant benefits of dentures is the improvement in your appearance. Missing teeth can cause your face to sag, making you look older. Dentures fill out your facial profile, restoring the natural contours of your face. They also give you a full set of teeth, which can significantly enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
Enhanced Functionality
Dentures restore the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat and speak normally. With dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods, ensuring you get the nutrition you need. They also improve your speech, as missing teeth can cause slurring or lisping.
Long-lasting and Cost-Effective
Dentures are a long-lasting and cost-effective solution for missing teeth. With proper care, dentures can last for many years. They are also less expensive than other dental restoration options, such as implants, making them an affordable choice for many patients.
The Dentures Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
The first step in getting dentures is an initial consultation with Dr. Angela Wright at Peach Blossom Dental. During this appointment, Dr. Wright will examine your mouth, discuss your needs and goals, and determine if dentures are the right solution for you.
Impressions and Measurements
If dentures are deemed suitable, Dr. Wright will take impressions and measurements of your mouth. These are used to create a model of your mouth, which is then used to fabricate your custom dentures.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, you will return to Peach Blossom Dental for a fitting. Dr. Wright will place the dentures in your mouth and check their fit and appearance. She will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures are comfortable and functional.

If you are looking into dentures as an option to replace your missing teeth, the first step is to come in for a one on one consultation with your dentist. They’ll examine your mouth and determine the state of your oral health, the health of your jaw and gums, and whether dentures are right for you. They can also help guide you on alternative treatments if there’s another restorative treatment that might work better for your smile goals.
How are dentures made?
Dentures are made of a metal and acrylic framework. This durable prosthetic will be created at a trusted partner lab. To begin, your doctor will create an impression or model of your teeth and gums, then send it to the lab to construct an acrylic model of your teeth according to the impressions or digital models. Once your dentures are done and we have received them, we will place them in your mouth and make adjustments so they fit just right.
How long do dentures last?
On average, dentures usually last about seven to ten years. Your mouth is constantly changing, so your dentures will need adjustments from time to time to ensure they fit properly. We recommend annual checkups for your dentures to ensure they are in optimal condition. This will extend the longevity of your dentures so you can save money, and enjoy your smile!
Are dentures comfortable?
Adjusting to dentures is different for everyone. Some patients may notice some discomfort when getting used to their new set, which is perfectly normal. Before you leave our office, we will ensure that your new dentures are well-fitted to your gums to avoid any potential slipping or rubbing. In addition, caring for your dentures properly at home will help prevent damage like bending or cracking which can also contribute to discomfort.
How do dentures look?
With today’s technology and high-resolution scans and images, your dentist will create a set of custom dentures that are designed to look as close to your natural smile as possible. All dentures are molded to fit almost seamlessly to your jaw and gum line to ensure a comfortable, confident fit.
Will my insurance cover dentures?
Dentures are a very popular restorative procedure and are relatively affordable too. Because of this, most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of the cost of dentures. However, this all depends on your specific insurance coverage. To better understand your dental insurance benefits, we recommend contacting your provider or a member of our team today.
