Dentures

If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, complete dentures offer a reliable and natural-looking solution. At Cross Keys Dental, our skilled Berlin dentist team is dedicated to restoring both the function and appearance of your smile with high-quality, custom-made dentures.

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also help with essential functions like eating and speaking, which can be challenging without a full set of teeth. Dentures can help improve your self-esteem and restore the natural structure of your face.

What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are recommended when all natural teeth are missing. They come in two types: conventional and immediate.

• Conventional dentures are made and placed about 8–12 weeks after tooth removal, allowing time for the gums to heal.
• Immediate dentures are created ahead of time and positioned right after the teeth are extracted, so you never have to go without teeth during healing.

Partial Dentures

If some natural teeth remain, partial dentures may be the best option. They fill gaps left by missing teeth and help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. They are also custom-designed for comfort and appearance.

What to Expect

Our Berlin dentist will begin the process by taking detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth. Several appointments may be needed to ensure a proper fit, including try-ins to evaluate the shape, fit, and color of your new denture. Once finalized, your dentures will be crafted and fitted, with follow-up visits to make adjustments as necessary.

Initially, new dentures may feel loose or unusual. With time and practice, most patients adjust well to speaking and eating with them. Dentures are usually worn during the day and removed at night to let your mouth tissues rest. At Cross Keys Dental, our trusted Berlin dentist will ensure that your dentures look natural and feel comfortable—giving you the confidence to smile again.
