Dentures & Partials in East Las Vegas.
Restorative Care
Full and partial dentures fitted to your mouth, with the goal that they feel comfortable when you eat, talk and smile.
Why consider modern dentures?
Missing teeth affect more than your smile. They can make eating and speaking harder, and over time the face can lose support and look sunken.
Dentures have come a long way, with a snugger fit and a more natural look than the ones many people remember. Missing a few teeth or all of them, we'll walk through what fits your mouth.
Our Denture Solutions
Options fitted to your mouth and your needs.
Complete (Full) Dentures
This is the option when there are no teeth left on top, on the bottom, or both. The replacement teeth are set in a gum-colored base that rests on your gums, giving you back a full bite and support for your face.
One piece for the full top or bottom row
Helps keep lips and cheeks from looking sunken
Shade and tooth shape picked with your face in mind
Partial Dentures
If some of your own teeth are still healthy, a partial can fill the gaps around them. The new teeth are set in a gum-colored base with clasps that hold onto your natural teeth, and it helps keep the teeth you have from drifting.
Works with your remaining healthy teeth
Removable for easy cleaning
Helps keep your other teeth from shifting
Implant-Retained Dentures
Some people know these as snap-in dentures. A few implants go into the jawbone and the denture snaps onto them, so it moves and clacks far less, and most people can leave the adhesive behind.
More stable, so chewing is easier
Can help slow jawbone loss
Most people can skip the adhesive
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my new dentures feel so strange?
That's normal at first. Your mouth has to get used to something new, and until it does the denture may feel bulky, you may get a few sore spots, and you may make more saliva than usual. Soft foods cut small make meals easier, and reading aloud helps your speech catch up. For most people, it gets much easier after the first few weeks.
When will my dentures need to be replaced?
Usually after 5 to 10 years, if they're well cared for. Over the years your gums and jawbone slowly reshape, and a denture that once fit snugly can start to wobble. We can reline it (refit the side that touches your gums) or make a new one so it fits well again.
How do I take care of my dentures day to day?
Clean them daily with a soft brush made for dentures and a cleaner that isn't abrasive; ordinary toothpaste is too rough and can leave scratches. When they're out overnight, put them in water or a gentle denture soak. If they dry out, they can warp.
If I have no natural teeth left, do I still need checkups?
Yes. A visit lets us screen your mouth for oral cancer and gum problems, see whether the denture still fits, and clean off plaque and tartar that brushing at home misses.
Should my dentures come out at night?
Most nights, yes. Dozing off in them now and then is no big deal, but time without them lets your gums recover from the pressure and lowers the chance of fungal infections and bacteria building up.
