About Dentures in Louisville, KY
MINT dentistry offers removable dentures as a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth. Removable dentures can renew your smile and help you speak and eat with confidence. MINT dentistry’s team of dental professionals offers either partial or full traditional removable dentures for patients to help them get a gorgeous smile. Full dentures replace all the teeth in the lower and upper arches. Partial dentures may be ideal when a few to several teeth need to be replaced and clasp around the remaining teeth for stability. At MINT dentistry, we will help you choose whether full or partial dentures suit your needs and then have them custom-made to look great and feel natural. Contact us to schedule an appointment with a member of our skilled team at our advanced facility to get more information on removable dentures and how MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY can help you transform your smile.
Are Dentures Right for Me?
Patients who are missing several teeth, but have both a healthy jawbone and gums, may be ideal candidates for traditional dentures. If you still have some of your natural teeth, they can either be extracted for a full denture or kept intact for a partial denture. At your initial consultation at our Louisville, KY dental center, your dentist will examine your oral health and discuss your choices based on your needs, goals, and budget. If you have lost some or all of your teeth and are ready to transform your smile with dentures, schedule a consultation.
What Is the Denture Process?
Your appointment will take place in a pristine treatment room, where you can relax in a massaging treatment chair. You will be offered a choice between listening to music on a pair of Beats headphones or watching a show on a flat screen. Once you've put on a pair of our MINT dentistry sunglasses, the process will start. In some cases, we may perform an extraction and then take the digital x-rays and impressions needed to craft your dentures. If you are getting partial dentures, they will be shaded to match your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Once your custom dentures are custom-made in a professional dental lab, your dentist will adjust the fit so they feel comfortable and secure. Our team will then teach you the best way to take care of your dentures, including how to clean and store them.
How to Care for Your Dentures
As you adjust to your dentures, speaking and eating should begin to feel more natural. If your dentures feel loose, speak with a member of the MINT dentistry team, and we'll schedule an appointment to improve the fit of your dentures. You will need to brush your dentures at least twice a day. When you take out your dentures, you should soak them in water so they don't get dry. Keep scheduling your regular cleaning appointments and exams at MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY so we can keep an eye on the condition and fit of your restoration, plus the health of your jaw and gums. Our team will tell you if your dentures need to be replaced or repaired, but with optimal care, your full or partial dentures should be a long-lasting restoration.
