Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they impact your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident in social situations. At Lamesa Dental, we understand how important it is to restore both the function and beauty of your smile. Whether you’re missing several teeth or need a full set of replacements, dentures and partial dentures offer effective, affordable solutions.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Furthermore, our team custom-makes them to fit your mouth comfortably and look natural, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Complete Dentures work best when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw (or both). Additionally, they rest directly on your gums and stay in place through natural suction or dental adhesive.
Partial Dentures, on the other hand, are ideal when you still have some natural teeth remaining. Specifically, they fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, and metal clasps or precision attachments anchor them to your existing teeth.

Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care extends the life of your dentures and keeps your mouth healthy. Therefore, you should remove and rinse them after eating. Additionally, brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, and soak them overnight in a denture solution. Meanwhile, regular dental checkups at Lamesa Dental ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and your oral health stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do dentures typically last?
A: With proper care and maintenance, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. However, your mouth naturally changes shape over time, so you may need adjustments or replacements. As a result, regular checkups at Lamesa Dental help ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and function well.
Q: Will dentures feel natural in my mouth?
A: Initially, it’s normal to experience an adjustment period when you first get dentures. For instance, they may feel bulky or unusual for the first few weeks as your mouth adapts. Nevertheless, most patients adjust within a month and find their dentures comfortable for everyday use. At Lamesa Dental, we make sure your dentures fit properly and will make any necessary adjustments to maximize your comfort.
