If you are missing multiple teeth or ought to have multiple teeth taken out, you may be a good candidate for dentures. Dentures can restore your oral capabilities, enable you to eat rich foods, and help retain the shape of your face. Dentures work well when the gum tissues are healthy and an appropriate amount of jawbone keeps them in position. During your visit with Dr. Knight, he will evaluate your oral health and talk about possible solutions depending on your goals, needs, maintenance preferences, and wallet. After this, our team will be able to help you determine if dentures are right for you and which style will best suit your unique situation. If you are looking for alternative restorative treatments, we also provide dental implants, dental bridges, and dental crowns.

Dr. Knight will start your denture process by making digital or molded impressions of your top and lower arches. These impressions will be forwarded to a highly advanced dental lab where they will create your customized dentures. Full and partial dentures are composed of lightweight resin, which can be supported by a metal framework. Crafted using medical-grade materials, dentures are intended to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gum tissues. Once your dentures are ready, we will ask you to follow up for a fitting consultation. Dr. Knight will adjust your dentures so they are comfortable or attach them to your positioned titanium implants. Our team will also discuss the appropriate techniques to take care of your new dentures.
