Reveal a Complete Smile With a Dentures Procedure

Living with missing teeth is more than just a cosmetic imperfection, it’s also harmful to your health. It reduces the types of foods you can enjoy, causes bone loss in your jaw, and increases your risk for systemic issues like diabetes. Luckily, you can do something about it!

Dentures are perfect for replacing an entire arch of teeth. When paired with implants, they give you a lifelike feel and function. Implants keep them from slipping out of place or becoming dislodged. Plus implants also maintain your bone health, keeping your jaw strong so you’ll have a younger appearance.

Your general dentist may have referred you to our office for implant placement. That’s because our periodontist is an expert at placing implants. We even have options for patients who have lived for years with missing teeth. Depending on your smile needs, we can prepare your mouth for dentures with:

  • All-on-4® ImplantsWe place four implants in your mouth instead of eight. It’s a less invasive procedure and you’ll heal faster.
  • Mini Dental ImplantsThese small implants are great if you’ve had bone loss in your jaw and aren’t a good candidate for standard implants.

You’ll love how you feel with your dentures secured by implants! You can trust our expertise with this procedure. We use technology like panoramic X-rays for planning and computer-guided technology to ensure successful placement of your implants. If you are anxious, we have sedation options to ease your nerves. You can also enjoy pillows, blankets, and headphones for music or TV during your implant placement procedure.

We’ll help you get ready for dentures in Lubbock. Call 806-507-6906 for an appointment. We can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Dentures

Who might need dentures?

Dentures are a great way to replace your missing teeth, especially when you need a complete arch of teeth replaced on either your upper or lower jaw. We can help you connect with a restorative dentist that can provide a lifelike set of dentures that will restore your biting and chewing capacity and give you back a beautiful smile you’ll be proud to show off everywhere. We improve this situation by providing extractions, bone adjustments, and dental implants to help retain your new dentures. We typically extract, graft, and place the implants at one time under sedation to minimize your discomfort.

What can I eat with dentures?

With advances in dental technology, you can eat almost anything you want. If you have conventional dentures, you may need to change how you eat certain foods. You also may need an adhesive to keep conventional dentures in place. With implant-supported dentures, you can typically expect a 40-60% increase in chewing efficiency versus just 10% with traditional dentures and adhesives.

Can dentures fall out?

Dentures can fall out or come loose, but there are ways to reduce or eliminate this problem. Denture adhesives can help keep dentures in your mouth, but this can be less effective over time. Dental implants act as artificial roots for your missing teeth and can support dentures. Implant-supported dentures remain secure and stable without the need for adhesives. We even have options using mini dental implants, to keep dentures in place even if you lack jaw strength for full-size implants.
