Dentures in Houston, Texas
Partial and Hybrid Dentures
Losing several teeth can make eating, speaking, and smiling difficult, and as you age, gaps can cause your jawbone to deteriorate. At Midtown Dentistry, we offer both traditional and hybrid dentures that not only fill those gaps but also support your jaw and help maintain your oral health.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are dental appliances designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics to your smile.
There are two common types:
Traditional Dentures
Regular dentures are the most common type of dentures, consisting of a full set of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored acrylic base. They are typically used when all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw are missing.
Hybrid Dentures
Hybrid dentures combine the benefits of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants. They are anchored to your mouth by four to six implants, offering a more stable fit compared to traditional dentures.
Can Anyone Get Dentures?
Most people who have lost multiple teeth or have severe dental issues are candidates for dentures. Your dentist at Midtown Dentistry will assess your oral health and determine if dentures are a suitable option for you.
Can Dentures Be Repaired if They Break?
Yes, if your dentures break or crack, they can be repaired. At Midtown Dentistry, we provide prompt repairs and adjustments to fix any damage and ensure your dentures fit snugly. We’ll also make any necessary adjustments to keep them comfortable and functional, so you can continue to smile with confidence.
How Long Do Dentures Last?
Dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years, but, over time, they may need adjustments or replacement due to changes in the shape of your mouth and gums.
Some signs you need to replace your dentures include:
- Visible cracks or damage
- Persistent discomfort or soreness
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Changes in the fit or looseness
- Noticeable changes in your bite or alignment
- Staining or discoloration that won’t clean off
Common Problems with New Dentures
- Discomfort or sore spots
- Difficulty speaking
- Trouble eating certain foods
- Loose fit
- Slipping or moving
These issues are common when you first get new dentures and usually subside as you get used to your new teeth. However, if these problems persist after a few weeks or if you notice other issues like pain or significant changes in fit, please contact us for an appointment.
