At TS Dental, we specialize in providing custom dentures and other dental appliances that restore both function and appearance for patients who have lost teeth. Whether you're looking for full dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, or protective devices like night guards and sports guards, our team will guide you through every step to ensure a comfortable and confident smile.

What Are Dentures?

A denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Designed to closely resemble your natural teeth, dentures can enhance your smile and improve oral functions such as chewing and speaking. Whether you need to replace all of your teeth or just a few, we offer customized solutions that fit comfortably and look natural.

Types of Dentures We Offer:

1. Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are designed for patients who have lost all of their teeth in an arch (either upper or lower). These dentures rest on the gums and are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, providing a natural appearance and improved functionality for chewing and speaking.

How Full Dentures Work:
Full dentures involve taking detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth to create a set of dentures that fit securely and comfortably. Full dentures can be either conventional or immediate:

• Conventional Dentures: These are created after any remaining teeth have been extracted, and the gums have fully healed, which typically takes 4-6 weeks. During this healing period, no teeth are worn.
• Immediate Dentures: These are prepared in advance and placed immediately after teeth are removed, allowing patients to avoid being without teeth during the healing process. Adjustments are usually necessary as the tissues heal and change shape.

2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. These dentures fill in the gaps created by missing teeth while preventing the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Partial dentures are typically supported by a metal framework or clasps that attach to your existing teeth for stability.

How Partial Dentures Work:
During your consultation, your dentist will take precise measurements to create a partial denture that fits your mouth comfortably and blends in with your natural teeth. These appliances can help restore function, improve aesthetics, and protect your remaining teeth from undue wear.

3. Denture Repairs and Relines

Over time, dentures may require repairs or adjustments due to normal wear or changes in the shape of your gums and jawbone. At TS Dental, we provide denture repairs and relines to ensure that your dentures continue to fit comfortably and function properly.

• Denture Repairs: Whether a tooth has chipped, the denture base has cracked, or any other damage occurs, we can quickly and effectively repair your dentures to restore their functionality.
• Denture Relines: Over time, the gums and jawbone may change shape, causing dentures to become loose. A reline adjusts the fit of your dentures, ensuring they remain secure and comfortable.

4. Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed the same day your teeth are extracted, ensuring you’re never without teeth. These dentures offer immediate cosmetic and functional benefits but will require adjustments as your gums heal and shrink.

How Immediate Dentures Work:
After your teeth are extracted, immediate dentures are positioned in your mouth. These dentures serve as a temporary solution while your gums heal. Once healing is complete, adjustments or a final set of dentures may be made to ensure a precise fit.

5. Night Guards and Sports Guards

In addition to dentures, TS Dental provides custom-fitted night guards and sports guards to protect your teeth from damage.

• Night Guards: Ideal for patients who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), night guards protect your teeth from excessive wear and prevent jaw pain, headaches, and other symptoms associated with grinding.
• Sports Guards: Custom-made sports guards offer superior protection for athletes, reducing the risk of dental injuries during contact sports.

6. Fixed (Non-Removable) Teeth on Implants

For patients looking for a more permanent solution, fixed dentures or non-removable teeth on implants provide the best of both worlds—security and natural appearance. Implant-supported dentures offer a more stable option compared to traditional removable dentures.

How Fixed Teeth on Implants Work:
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as anchors for your dentures. Once the implants have integrated with your bone, a set of non-removable teeth is attached, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth.

7. Removable Teeth on Dentures

Removable teeth on dentures are supported by dental implants but are designed to be taken out for cleaning. This option provides stability while allowing for easier maintenance.

How Removable Teeth on Dentures Work:
Implant-supported removable dentures attach to dental implants with special attachments that allow you to take them out whenever necessary. These offer a blend of security and convenience.

Benefits of Dentures and Dental Appliances:

• Restored Functionality: Improve your ability to chew and speak, enhancing your overall quality of life.
• Enhanced Appearance: Dentures and dental appliances are designed to resemble natural teeth and can greatly improve your smile.
• Protect Remaining Teeth: Devices like partial dentures and night guards protect your natural teeth from further damage or wear.
• Customized for You: All of our dental appliances are custom-made for a precise fit, ensuring both comfort and functionality.

What to Expect When Getting Dentures

Getting dentures involves several steps, starting with a consultation and impressions. Your dentist will take detailed measurements of your mouth to create a custom-fit denture. You may have several "try-in" appointments to ensure the best fit before the final denture is made. Once ready, the dentist will adjust and place the dentures, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.

Denture Care

Proper care of your dentures is essential to maintaining their longevity. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to clean and care for your new dentures. Regular dental visits are important to check the fit and condition of your dentures, ensuring they continue to provide optimal comfort and function.
