Reclaim your smile with dentures at Edgewater Dental Arts! We understand missing teeth can significantly impact your oral health, self-confidence and ability to enjoy daily life. Depending on the extent of your tooth replacement needs, Dr. John Cutting may recommend dentures or partials as a comfortable and effective solution to restore your smile and improve your overall quality of life. We are committed to providing custom-fit, natural-looking dentures and partials in Edgewater, MD, that will help you regain your confidence and enjoy a beautiful, functional smile.
We offer a range of denture and partial options to suit each smile, including:
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They are typically used when all natural teeth have been lost.
Partial Dentures
Partial removable dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, holding the remaining teeth in place and improving chewing function. Partial dentures are often attached to adjacent teeth with clasps or precision attachments for a more secure fit.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed immediately after the extraction of remaining teeth. They offer the advantage of allowing you to have teeth during the healing process. However, they may require adjustments as the gums heal and shrink.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For enhanced stability and support, Edgewater Dental Arts also offers implant-supported dentures. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures provide a more secure fit, improved chewing ability, and can help preserve bone density.
The Denture Process
Creating your custom dentures or partials with Dr. Cutting at Edgewater Dental Arts will typically involve several key steps:
- Consultation and Evaluation: Dr. Cutting will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, discuss your needs and goals, and determine the best type of denture or partial for you. Impressions of your teeth and gums will be taken to create an accurate model.
- Impressions and Model Creation: Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to create a highly accurate model that will be used to fabricate your dentures or partials.
- Denture Try-on: A wax model of your dentures or partials is created, allowing you to preview the fit, shape, and appearance before the final restoration is made. Any necessary adjustments can be made at this stage.
- Final Denture Fabrication: Once you are satisfied with the wax try-in, the final dentures or partials are fabricated from high-quality materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
After your dentures or partials are placed, and Dr. Cutting will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. He will also provide instructions on how to care for your dentures and maintain optimal oral hygiene.
