Dentures and Partials in Sandy Springs, GA

Dentures and partials are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. These removable appliances fit comfortably in your mouth to restore the function of your teeth. In addition, they should also enhance your smile’s appearance.

Partial Dentures: We recommend partial dentures for patients who have several missing teeth but still have some natural teeth. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base. Partials attach to your remaining natural teeth with metal clasps.

Complete Dentures: These dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all their natural teeth in one or both dental arches. They are a full set of artificial teeth set into a gum-colored base that rests directly on the gums.

What Can Dentures and Partials Fix?

Dentures and partials offer a range of benefits beyond just filling the gaps in your smile:

  • Restore the ability to chew a variety of foods
  • Improve speech clarity by supporting the lips and tongue
  • Enhance facial appearance by providing support to the lips and cheeks
  • Prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place
  • Boost self-confidence and self-esteem with a natural-looking smile

Who Is a Candidate for Dentures and Partials?

Complete and partial dentures in Atlanta are excellent options for many people dealing with tooth loss. Dentures can help restore your smile’s function and beauty if you’re facing tooth loss.

Here are some groups that may find these dental solutions helpful:

  • People with Multiple Missing Teeth: If you’ve lost several teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease, dentures can fill those gaps effectively. Partial dentures are a great choice if you still have some healthy teeth and want to replace just a few missing ones. Both types can help you eat and speak more comfortably, restoring the function of your mouth.
  • Those Who Want a Simple and Affordable Solution: Dentures are generally less invasive than dental implants, which require surgery. They offer a quick and cost-effective way to restore your smile without needing complex procedures. This makes dentures a good option for people who want results without a long recovery time.
  • Patients Who Wanting to Improve Tooth Function and Appearance: Missing teeth can make it hard to chew food properly and may affect your speech. Dentures can help you enjoy your favorite foods again by restoring your ability to chew. They also enhance your smile, boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself.
  • People Committed to Good Oral Care: Using dentures successfully means you need to keep them and your mouth clean every day. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor your oral health and ensure your dentures fit well over time. Those who take care of their dental hygiene are more likely to have a positive experience with dentures.

The Denture and Partial Process

Getting a beautiful, functional smile with dentures or partials involves several steps:

Consultation and Examination

During your initial visit to our Atlanta dentist, Dr. Flax will fully examine your oral health. This includes assessing the condition of your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone structure. We will discuss your goals and determine if dentures or partials are the right solution for you.

Impressions and Measurements

Next, we will take precise impressions and measurements of your mouth to create a custom fit for your dentures or partials. These impressions serve as the blueprint for crafting your personalized prosthetic.

Design and Fabrication

Using advanced materials and techniques, our skilled dental team will create your dentures or partials to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. We take great care to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural-looking appearance.

Fitting and Adjustments

Once your dentures or partials are ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Flax will make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and functionality. We will also guide you on how to care for and maintain your new prosthetic. Your new prosthetic will help you live life to the fullest.

Dentures and Partials FAQs

Learn more about dentures in Atlanta and Sandy Springs, GA with answers to these common patient questions: 

How long does it take to get used to wearing dentures?

Adjusting to wearing dentures may take some time as your mouth and muscles adapt to the new appliance. However, most patients become comfortable with their dentures within a few weeks.

As their mouths adjust, they learn how to manage their new appliance effectively. Many people report that once they settle in, they feel more confident eating, speaking, and smiling with their dentures.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, with proper care and practice, you should be able to eat a wide variety of foods comfortably. Start with softer foods and gradually reintroduce tougher textures as you become accustomed to your dentures.

Will dentures affect my speech?

At first, you may notice some changes in your speech patterns as you adjust to wearing dentures. With practice and patience, most patients find that their speech returns to normal.

Begin with reading out loud so you become more familiar with how your dentures feel while talking. This practice can help train your mouth to move properly with the dentures in place. Begin with simple words or phrases and gradually move to more complex sentences. This can make the transition easier and less overwhelming.
