About Dentures in Joliet, IL
Dentures may be a wonderful option if you want to replace missing teeth. Traditional removable dentures can rejuvenate the appearance of your smile and allow you to once again speak and eat confidently. MINT dentistry’s team of board-certified dentists offers either full or partial traditional removable dentures for anyone who wants a gorgeous smile. A full denture replaces all the teeth in your upper and lower jaws. Partial dentures could be a good option when a few to several teeth are missing and are held in place by your remaining natural teeth. At MINT dentistry, we will help you determine whether full or partial dentures are best for your situation and then have them custom-made so they look and feel natural. Schedule an appointment with a member of our skilled team at our advanced office to learn more about dentures from MINT dentistry in Joliet, IL, which can give you a smile you feel confident in.
Are Dentures Right for Me?
Traditional dentures may be an option if you are missing many teeth, but your jaw is still strong and your gums are healthy. If you still have some of your natural teeth, they can either be extracted for a full denture or kept intact for a partial denture. During your initial consultation at our Joliet, IL dental center, a member of the MINT dentistry team will examine your mouth and teeth and discuss your options to fit your needs and budget. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, schedule a consultation to learn about how full and partial dentures can rejuvenate your smile and oral health.
What Is the Denture Process?
To begin your procedure at MINT dentistry, our team will help you settle comfortably into one of our luxurious treatment chairs in a well-equipped treatment room. We'll offer you a choice between listening to music on a pair of Beats headphones or watching a show on a flat screen. Once you've put on stylish MINT sunglasses, your procedure will begin. When applicable, your dentist will extract teeth and then take the oral impressions needed to craft your custom dentures. Partial dentures will be shaded to match your natural teeth for an attractive appearance. Once your custom dentures are crafted in a dental laboratory, they will be inserted and adjusted so they are comfortable, secure, and look natural in your mouth. We will then go over the best way to care for your dentures and mouth.
How to Care for Your Dentures
It may take some time before your dentures feel comfortable, but it should quickly be easier to speak and eat. If your dentures feel loose, speak to your restoration team so your dentures can be adjusted for a better fit. At home, you will need to brush your dentures at least twice a day. When you remove your dentures, they should be soaked in water so they do not dry out. Continue to schedule bi-annual cleanings and annual exams at MINT dentistry in Joliet, IL so we can monitor the fit and condition of your dentures as well as the health of your mouth. Our team will let you know if you need to have your dentures repaired or replaced but, with good care, your full or partial dentures can last for years.
