What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile. Dentures are an effective and affordable way of replacing missing teeth. Composed of a durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain, both partial and full dentures can be fabricated to look and feel natural. Today's denture technology has advanced far beyond the "false teeth" of the past, offering customized design and a comfortable fit that's tailored to your unique dental needs.

Benefits
Restored Functionality
Dentures help restore your ability to eat and speak properly. They allow you to enjoy a wider variety of foods, improving your nutrition and quality of life. With practice, you'll be able to pronounce words more clearly, enhancing your communication and social interactions.
Cost-Effective Solution
Compared to other tooth replacement options, dentures are a cost-effective solution for multiple missing teeth. They provide a comprehensive solution for tooth loss without the need for surgery in most cases, making them accessible to a wide range of patients.
Improved Appearance and Confidence
Dentures can dramatically enhance your smile and overall facial appearance. They provide support for your cheeks and lips, reducing the sunken look associated with missing teeth. This restoration of your natural face shape can boost your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in social situations.
Your Path to a Complete Smile
Types of Dentures
At Valor Dental, we offer various denture options to suit your individual needs and preferences.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. They rest directly on the gums and are custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural. Full dentures can significantly improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting. Partial dentures can be removable or fixed, depending on your needs and preferences.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the coverage of dentures. Several implants are placed in the jaw to securely hold the denture in place. This option provides improved comfort, speech, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures.
The Dentures Treatment Process

Consultation & Examination
The first step in the denture treatment process is a comprehensive consultation and dental examination. During this initial visit, Dr. Kiene or Dr. Merkley will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options. They will examine your gums for signs of disease or infection, which could impact the success of your denture fitting. They will also take a close look at the health and structure of any remaining teeth to determine the best type of denture for your needs.

Digital Impressions & Custom Design
Once your dentist has assessed your oral health and determined that dentures are a suitable solution, the next step is to take impressions of your mouth. These impressions will be used to custom design your new dentures. At Valor Dental, we use advanced technology to ensure that your dentures will fit comfortably and look natural. We understand that every patient is unique, and we take the time to create dentures that are tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

During this appointment, Dr. Kiene or Dr. Merkley will adjust your new dentures as necessary to ensure a comfortable fit. They will also provide you with instructions on how to care for your new dentures and maintain your oral health.

It typically takes a few weeks to fully adjust to new dentures. You may experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, and difficulty speaking or eating at first. With patience and practice, these issues usually resolve as you become accustomed to your new teeth.
Clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. Remove and rinse them after eating. Soak them in water or a mild denture solution overnight. Handle them carefully and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleaning.
