At Family Dental of Georgetown, we understand the impact missing teeth can have on your daily life, from eating and speaking to feeling confident in your smile. That’s why we offer custom-made dentures designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your teeth.

Whether you’re missing a few teeth or need a full arch replacement, our dentures provide a reliable, natural-looking solution that helps you regain comfort and confidence. Let us guide you through the different types of dentures and how they can enhance your oral health.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Made from high-quality materials, they are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, providing you with a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth loss. At Family Dental of Georgetown, we offer a variety of denture options tailored to meet your individual needs, including full dentures and partial dentures.

Types Of Dentures

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. They consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that sits on your gums and holds the prosthetic teeth. Full dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while also supporting the structure of your face and preventing the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. These dentures are attached to your remaining teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments, creating a secure fit. Partial dentures not only fill in the gaps left by missing teeth but also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients seeking enhanced stability and comfort, implant-supported dentures are a popular option. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for the dentures. This option offers superior support, reducing the risk of dentures slipping or shifting while you eat or speak. Implant-supported dentures can be used for both full and partial dentures, providing a more permanent and secure solution.

The Benefits Of Dentures

• Restored functionality: Dentures restore your ability to chew food and speak clearly, allowing you to enjoy your favorite meals and communicate without discomfort.


• Improved appearance: Missing teeth can affect the shape of your face and give you a prematurely aged appearance. Dentures help restore facial structure and provide a more youthful, natural look.


• Enhanced confidence: Dentures improve your smile, giving you the confidence to engage in social activities without worrying about missing teeth.


• Affordability: Compared to other tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, dentures are a more affordable solution that still provides excellent results.


• Custom-fit: Each set of dentures at Family Dental of Georgetown is custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, ensuring optimal function and aesthetics.

The Denture Process

Receiving dentures at Family Dental of Georgetown is a straightforward process that involves a few key steps to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance. Here’s what you can expect:

• Consultation and examination: Our dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your denture options during your initial visit. We will take x-rays and impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth to create a precise model for your dentures.


• Custom design: Based on the impressions, we will design your dentures to fit your mouth comfortably and provide a natural appearance. You will have the opportunity to discuss the color, shape, and size of the prosthetic teeth to ensure they meet your aesthetic preferences.


• Fitting:  Once your custom dentures are ready, we will schedule a fitting appointment to ensure they fit properly. We will make any necessary adjustments to guarantee a comfortable, secure fit.


• Follow-up care: After you receive your dentures, we will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make sure your dentures continue to fit well. Over time, as your gums and jawbone change, you may need adjustments to maintain comfort and function.

Caring For Your Dentures

Proper care of your dentures is essential to maintaining their appearance and longevity. Here are some tips to keep your dentures in top condition:

• Daily cleaning: Clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. This helps remove food particles and plaque, keeping your dentures fresh and free from stains.


• Soak overnight: When not in use, dentures should be soaked in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight. This prevents them from drying out and maintains their shape.


• Regular dental visits: Continue visiting Family Dental of Georgetown for regular checkups. We will monitor the fit of your dentures and address any concerns you may have.


• Handle with care: When cleaning your dentures, place a towel or basin of water beneath them in case they slip from your hands. Dentures can break if dropped onto a hard surface.
