Dentures Kingwood, TX

At Dentistry of Kingwood, the team offers several types of dentures, including:

Partial dentures: Partial dentures look similar to an orthodontic retainer. They have a metal framework, pink gums made of acrylic or plastic, and one (or more) artificial teeth. Partial dentures attach to small metal clasps and can be removed anytime.

Complete dentures: Complete dentures replace your entire set of upper or lower teeth. They have a metal base resembling a horseshoe, pink gums made from acrylic or plastic, and a full arch of artificial teeth. You apply an adhesive to the base, which rests on top of your gums.

Implant-supported dentures: If you don’t want to remove your dentures each night, your Dentistry of Kingwood provider might recommend implant-supported dentures. These dentures can replace some or all of your teeth. They connect to dental implants, small, screw-like posts inserted into your jawbone.

The process for getting dentures in Kingwood varies depending on the type you want.

Partial or complete dentures: If you want partial or complete dentures, your Dentistry of Kingwood provider takes impressions of your mouth and sends them to a dental laboratory. Techs at the laboratory use the impressions to design and create a custom set of perfectly fit dentures.

Implant-supported dentures: If you want implant-supported dentures, your dentist inserts a number of metal posts into your jaw during an outpatient procedure. When the implants integrate with your bone, you return to the office, and your provider takes impressions.

A dental laboratory uses the impressions of your mouth to manufacture a custom set of implant-supported dentures. When the dentures are ready, you return to the Dentistry of Kingwood, and your provider attaches them to your implants.
