Dentures

Dentures are a popular choice for tooth replacement, and Porter Dental Center is Lockport’s established provider.

If you’re looking for dentures, you need to consult the experts at Porter Dental Center. We have years of experience helping patients find the best tooth replacement solution for their needs.

Dentures are a safe, comfortable, and convenient option for replacing missing teeth and improving your smile. They can also be more affordable compared to other restorative dental services. At Porter Dental Center, our expert dentists can walk you through the denture/tooth replacement process to ensure you make the choice that’s right for you.

The advantages of dentures

Dentures are replacements for teeth lost to gum disease, decay, or injury. They are custom-made from impressions taken of your mouth, so they fit comfortably and look natural. Dentures can be taken out and put back in. Your dentist will work with you to ensure your dentures look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.

Types of dentures

There are a couple types of dentures to consider when replacing missing teeth. Dentures can be a complete or partial set, which is a removable option to bridges and placed around remaining healthy teeth. Your dentist will help you choose the style that best fits your lifestyle.

Traditional dentures are an economical way to replace missing teeth. After your teeth are removed and your gums have healed (usually within 8-12 weeks), dentures can be placed in your mouth. Immediate full dentures, also known as temporary dentures, are inserted immediately after teeth are removed. While they quickly replace your missing teeth, they must be periodically adjusted after being inserted. So, talk with us about this process before getting started. Premium dentures most closely resemble natural teeth.

Living with dentures may take some getting used to, but in short time, eating and speaking will feel normal again. Denture care, including daily cleaning, is simple, but we understand that it may feel strange at first.
