What Are Some Benefits of Dentures?

If you're unsure whether our Katy dentures can meet your unique tooth replacement needs, Dr. Rapolu and her team are here to give you the information you deserve. We're more than happy to answer your questions and explain some of the distinct characteristics of our restorations. Our Katy dentures have numerous benefits, from restoring your ability to chew food properly to reducing the chance of bone loss. Some of the reasons our services may be right for your smile include:

Replacing Your Missing Teeth: Missing teeth don't just negatively affect your self-confidence but your smile's functionality. Our dentures can replace entire arches of teeth and help you get back to enjoying your life to the fullest, including eating the foods you enjoy.
Ease of Maintenance: One of the greatest benefits of dentures is that they are not difficult to maintain. For traditional dentures, you can remove and soak them in a denture solution overnight to eliminate bacteria and then brush them gently to keep them clean. In the case of implant-supported dentures, you brush them just like you would your natural teeth.
Preventing Sunken Cheeks: One of the most significant effects of one or more missing teeth is how they can create cosmetic facial issues. By replacing your missing teeth with dentures, you help minimize cosmetic imperfections, including sunken jaws and hollow cheeks.

Our Denture Creation Process

When you initially visit our dental office, we'll ask you various questions about your smile. How long have you been struggling with missing teeth? Have you ever explored tooth replacement options? After you answer our dentist's questions, our staff will conduct an extensive oral exam. By using imaging technology like x-rays, we can get a better look at the overall condition of your smile's gums, jawbones, and teeth. From there, Dr. Rapolu will craft your customized treatment plan, which outlines our recommended services and how our staff will approach them.

Our extensive denture options include, but are not limited to:

Traditional Dentures: As part of our traditional denture options, we offer both full and partial dentures. Traditional dentures are composed of artificial teeth that sit on a pink acrylic base that's meant to match the appearance of your smile. You can rest assured that traditional dentures are known for their comfort and ease of cleaning.
Implant-Supported Dentures: If you're looking for a more permanent tooth replacement option, we offer implant-supported dentures. Like traditional dentures, they are made up of artificial teeth and a pink acrylic base. However, these dentures are held in place by surgically placed implant posts. Additionally, you can clean and maintain them as you would your natural teeth.
Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are complete or partial dentures that are placed on the same day as your extraction procedure. Our practice uses immediate dentures as a temporary way to protect your gums and give you a full smile before your traditional or implant-supported dentures are placed.

Caring for Your New Dentures

Regardless of what type of Katy denture you receive, caring for your restoration is an easy process. We recommend that you brush your dentures with a soft bristle toothbrush to help prevent them from becoming severely stained or discolored. There are also denture cleansers available that you can purchase over the counter that further make keeping your dentures clean easier. However, it's important to remember that you shouldn't consume certain foods while wearing your restoration, as they can damage it.
