Dentures Options

Types of dentures
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are designed to replace all of your natural teeth. They are typically used when all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both) have been lost. These dentures rest directly on the gum tissue. At Mulkins Main Dental, we create custom-fitted complete dentures that are comfortable and natural-looking, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our experienced team will ensure a precise fit and optimal function.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They are designed to fill the gaps created by missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and maintaining proper bite alignment. Partial dentures are attached to your natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments, providing stability and support. They are a great option for patients who are not candidates for complete dentures or dental implants. At Mulkins Main Dental, we carefully craft partial dentures to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability and support compared to traditional dentures. They are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This provides a secure foundation, preventing slippage and improving chewing efficiency. Implant-supported dentures also help preserve bone density, preventing bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures. They are an excellent long-term solution for patients seeking maximum comfort and function. At Mulkins Main Dental, we work closely with you to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right choice for you.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed immediately after the extraction of your remaining teeth. This allows you to avoid going without teeth during the healing process. While immediate dentures may require adjustments as your gums heal, they provide immediate aesthetic and functional benefits. They also act as a bandage during the healing process. We will create a treatment plan to ensure a comfortable and effective transition to your new smile.
Denture Creation Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment:
Your denture journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Mulkins Main Dental. Our experienced dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of denture for your needs. We’ll take detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth to ensure a precise fit and optimal function.
Impressions and Measurements:
Accurate impressions and measurements are crucial for creating well-fitting dentures. We use advanced techniques and materials to capture detailed information about your oral anatomy. This information is then used to fabricate custom dentures that are comfortable and natural-looking.
Wax Try-In:
Before your final dentures are made, we’ll create a wax try-in. This allows you to see and feel how your dentures will look and fit. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. This is a crucial step to ensuring the final product meets your expectations.
Final Denture Fabrication:
Once you approve the wax try-in, your final dentures will be fabricated using high-quality materials. Our skilled technicians meticulously craft each denture to ensure a precise fit, natural appearance, and optimal function. We will then schedule a fitting appointment.
Denture Fitting and Adjustments:
At your fitting appointment, we’ll carefully place your new dentures and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your dentures and address any questions you may have. We will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Follow-Up Care:
Regular follow-up appointments are essential for maintaining the health and comfort of your dentures. We’ll monitor your oral health, check the fit of your dentures, and make any necessary adjustments. We’ll also provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure your long-term satisfaction.
