Navigating Complete & Partial Solutions
When replacing missing teeth, we offer customized solutions designed to perfectly match your structural needs.
- Complete dentures: Ideal for patients who are missing a full-arch of teeth. These custom prosthetics rest securely on your gumline to completely rebuild your smile.
- Partial dentures: A fantastic option if you still retain some healthy natural teeth. A partial seamlessly fills the gaps, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting while restoring the complete function of your bite.
Embracing Modern Denture Aesthetics
Gone are the days of bulky, artificial-looking prosthetics. We partner exclusively with the best local lab to handcraft modern dentures that beautifully complement your facial features. Dr. Wilson utilizes his advanced training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies to ensure every prosthetic is meticulously designed. We focus on premium materials that mimic the exact translucency of natural enamel and the color of a healthy gumline, ensuring your new smile looks vibrant and completely authentic.
The Custom Fabrication Journey
We know dental anxiety is real, so we make the fabrication process as relaxing as possible. Instead of relying on uncomfortable traditional molds, we utilize advanced iTero digital scanners to capture highly precise 3D impressions of your mouth. These accurate digital files allow our lab to create a prosthetic with an exceptional fit. Over a series of short, efficient visits, we will carefully adjust the bite and aesthetics until your new teeth feel completely natural.
The Power Of Implant-Supported Stability
We always advise our patients to do it right the first time. For the ultimate in security and comfort, we highly recommend implant-supported dentures. By strategically placing a few titanium dental implants into your jaw, we can anchor a full-arch prosthetic firmly in place. This advanced full-mouth solution eliminates the fear of slipping, ends the need for messy adhesives, and stimulates your jawbone to prevent future structural loss.
Adjusting To Your Rejuvenated Smile
Transitioning to a new prosthetic takes a little time and patience. During the first few weeks, it is completely normal to experience slight changes in your speech and minor sensitivity as your mouth adapts to the new shape. We encourage you to start with softer foods and practice reading aloud. Our team is always here to support you and provide minor adjustments to ensure your comfort as you get used to your beautiful new teeth.
Daily Care For Your Restorations
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure your new smile lasts a long time. You must remove and gently brush your prosthetic daily using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleaner. It is equally important to gently clean your tongue, palate, and gumline to stimulate circulation and remove bacteria. When you are not wearing your prosthetics, keep them soaked in a specialized cleaning solution or water to prevent the acrylic from drying out and warping.
Expert Repairs & Routine Relining
Over the years, it is entirely natural for the shape of your jawbone to gradually change, which can alter the fit of your prosthetic. If your teeth begin to feel loose or uncomfortable, do not attempt to fix them yourself. We highly encourage you to attend your regular check-ups so our dedicated team can monitor your oral health. We can perform professional relining to reshape the base of your prosthetic, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that continues to serve you well.
