At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we understand the profound effect a complete smile has on your everyday life, from savoring your favorite meals to sharing joyous laughter with loved ones. If gaps in your grin have caused you to lose this sense of confidence, our custom-crafted full and partial dentures may be the solution you need to rejuvenate your spirit.
Why Consider Dentures and Partials?
Living with missing teeth impacts how you feel and function. Dentures and partials provide a practical, versatile solution that can restore your smile and boost your quality of life.
Functionality Restored: With dentures, everyday activities like eating and speaking become effortless, allowing you to enjoy a balanced diet and clear communication.
Preserve Facial Structure: Dentures support facial muscles, maintaining your natural face shape and even refreshing your appearance.
Custom-Fit Comfort: Each denture is specifically designed to fit you comfortably and securely, reflecting the latest advancements in dental technology for a feel that closely mimics your natural teeth.
What Custom Denture Solutions Are Available In Lexington?
Our practice offers a range of denture types designed to meet your needs and restore your confidence.
Full Dentures
These are ideal if you are missing all your teeth in a single arch or both. They comfortably sit on your gums, securely held in place by natural suction or denture adhesives. Made from durable materials, full dentures offer you a natural appearance and the discretion you desire.
Partial Dentures
If you’re only missing a few teeth, partial dentures might be the perfect fit. They attach to your remaining natural teeth, filling in gaps to complete your smile’s appearance and prevent any natural shifting of your teeth.
What Is The Denture Process?
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation where our team assesses your oral health and discusses your specific requirements. This helps us plan the best denture solution for you.
Using advanced imaging like our CT/cone beam scanner, we create precise models of your mouth to assure your dentures fit comfortably, improving both function and aesthetics.
Communicating with ease, enjoying a wider variety of foods, and smiling with confidence are just a few of the transformative benefits dentures provide you. Many of our patients share feelings of empowerment and joy from once again embracing life’s daily pleasures.
We Believe In Enhancing Your Quality of Life
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures are designed to fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Both are custom-crafted to fit securely and comfortably, preventing further dental issues and restoring the look of your smile.
Typically, full and partial dentures last between five to seven years due to natural wear and the gradual changes in oral structure. However, with proper care and regular dental checkups, they can serve you even longer, and adjustments can be made as needed.
While it’s possible to keep them in overnight initially, we recommend removing dentures at night. This allows your gums to rest and prevents potential irritation. Soaking them during this time helps maintain their shape and hygiene.
Though there might be an adjustment period, well-fitted dentures will soon feel quite comfortable. They are designed to closely mimic the functionality of your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Clean your dentures daily using a denture brush and mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Rinse them after meals and soak them overnight in a denture solution. Additionally, maintaining your oral hygiene by cleaning your gums and any remaining teeth enhances the longevity and fit of your dentures.
Coverage for dentures varies by policy. Most dental insurance plans cover about 40-50% of the cost of full or partial dentures. Our office is in-network with several insurance providers and offers flexible financing options to ease potential financial burdens.
