What Are Dentures?
We know how important it is to feel good about your smile. Missing teeth can impact your daily life, but dentures can help bring back comfort, confidence, and function. Dentures are removable or implant-supported prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. Whether you're missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some of their natural teeth but need replacements for missing ones. At UMG Family Dentistry, we offer both detachable dentures and implant-held dentures, crafted to fit comfortably and look natural. Our team will work closely with you to find the best type of dentures for your needs and lifestyle.
How Do Dentures Work?
The process for dentures at UMG Family Dentistry begins with a consultation where we evaluate your oral health and discuss your tooth replacement options. If dentures are right for you, we start by taking precise scans or molded impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions are sent to a high-quality dental lab that customizes your dentures for a comfortable fit. Depending on your choice of partial dentures or complete dentures, the prosthetics are made from durable, lightweight resin. For patients choosing implant-supported dentures, titanium posts will be surgically placed in the jaw to anchor the dentures securely. Once your dentures are ready, you'll return for a fitting appointment as we ensure your new teeth feel comfortable. We'll make any necessary adjustments and go over instructions on how to clean your dentures so your new smile stays fresh and healthy.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
At UMG Family Dentistry, we believe in the importance of providing custom solutions that suit each patient's unique needs. Dentures offer many advantages for those who have lost teeth, including:
- Affordable solution for missing teeth
- Restored self-confidence
- Easy maintenance and cleaning
- Improved facial aesthetics, preventing the sagging appearance that often follows tooth loss
- Clearer speech
- Enhanced digestion, as dentures restore proper chewing ability
- Natural-looking results with high-quality materials
UMG Family Dentistry Reviews
Took all three of my kids (7, 9, and 12 years old) to UMG Dental and had a great experience! Dr. Ung was kind, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly to each child. The kids felt comfortable, and I really appreciated how well everything was handled from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Trustworthy and attentive dental care by Catherine and Dr. Ung. I'm very glad I switched their team.
Le docteur est tres gentille et accueillante.
Fantastic dentist and practice - Dr. Ung, is very personable and caring. She works with you on and listens to your concerns. My mother is 93 and looked like she needed three teeth pulled and get fitted for dentures. Once the doctor had a better view of her teeth she determined that she could save one with a crown. My mom was thrilled. She didn't have much pain and is recovering well. Waiting for the crown to come back and then mom can get scanned for her dentures. All of the staff are great and it is a very warm and inviting atmosphere at the office. Note, there is also urgent care and physical therapy services at the location.
Dr. Ung is so kind and caring! I had an amazing experience with all of the professionals in the practice! The entire staff is warm, attentive, and patient-centered! Five stars!!! The BEST!—A forever patient!
