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
Refreshing experience - Dr. Ung and her entire staff were extremely pleasant, knew what they were doing, and didn’t rush me out of the door which is very important for me. Dr. Ung took her time and did an excellent job. She answered all my questions and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. I usually have poor experiences with dentists so this was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend. Oh and they’re family owned and have a Physical Therapy side of the business which I’ll be checking out.
Dr. Ung was so nice She was gentle and very thorough. This may sound crazy but I can't wait until my next appointment!!
I am so glad Dr. Ung now has her own practice. I have been going to Dr. Ung for years and have followed her to whichever practice she has worked at. What makes Dr. Ung the best is she is kind and knowledgeable, but won’t make you feel bad when she explains issues with your teeth or different approaches or practices for you to have better oral health. I have been to other dentists that scold you or make you feel bad. Dr. Ung is the opposite. She explains the issues and consequences, but provides approaches to do better. She is a caring dentist that also has a gentle hand and tries to make the experience enjoyable. I have no worries when I have a dental appointment after seeing Dr. Ung. That is why I have followed her. She is that great of a dentist.
Amazing new facility with clean and new equipment. The hygienist and doctor were very caring and helpful with my dental care.
Dr. Ung was so professional, knowledgeable, and kind during my appointment. She did a thorough history and I left feeling like I had gotten a new smile. amazing experience!
