With advances in materials and manufacturing, modern dentures are more reliable than ever before. Combined with Dr. Dickson’s skill in restorative dentistry, custom dentures will give you a gorgeous set of fully functional teeth. He and our team offer you several dentures options, including:

• Conventional Full Dentures – This style of denture has stood the test of time. Full dentures fill in an entire arch of teeth and can be removed easily for cleaning.
• Conventional Partial Dentures – Like full dentures, these replacement teeth pop out easily for daily care. However, we use them when a patient has some healthy teeth remaining. A clasp will secure them to your other teeth.
• Implant-Retained Dentures – Using a sturdy system of snaps and balls, your new dentures will anchor to a set of dental implants. You will enjoy an even more stable and comfortable fit than standard dentures offer.
• Implant-Supported Dentures – We will secure these dentures to a bar that is in turn anchored to dental implants. This design makes them our most comfortable denture, as it transfers the force from chewing and biting to your jaw, just like your natural teeth do.
• Temporary Dentures – For same-day smile treatment, we will fit you with this kind of replacement teeth while your final dental restoration is being made.

Dentures in Plano can help you enjoy life with less stress and hassle. Call our team today to schedule your appointment.

Ideal candidates for receiving dentures would be any patient who has lost any number of teeth or need to have teeth taken out. Dentures function to enhance your dental capabilities, let you eat rich foods, and help sustain the contours of your face. These pieces work most effectively when the gum tissues are healthy and there is enough bone mass to keep them in place. At your appointment with Dr. Dickson, he will assess your dental wellness and review your possible solutions depending on your needs, aesthetic preferences, and wallet. From there, our team will be able to help you decide if dentures are best for your oral health and which style might efficiently suit your unique situation.

Do dentures look like natural teeth?

Yes, they do. Dr. Dickson will choose a tooth shape and shade that matches your facial structure and overall aesthetic when he designs your dentures. If you choose a partial denture, he will closely match the color and shape of your natural teeth so that it blends seamlessly into your smile.

What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?

Partial dentures replace a row of missing teeth, typically about four teeth. A full denture replaces all of your teeth and may require tooth extraction to ensure a proper fit.

Can dentures change the way your face looks?

Yes, they can. Dentures can restore the natural symmetry of your face to help you look refreshed and more youthful.

Is it OK to sleep with your dentures in your mouth?

No, it is generally recommended that you remove, clean, and soak your dentures before going to bed for better oral health and to preserve the function of your dentures.

What is the most common problem people have with dentures?

The number one problem with dentures is a bad fit. Poor-fitting dentures can move, slip, or fall out, and in some cases, even cause pain and discomfort. Dr. Dickson thoroughly ensures your dentures have a tight, snug, and comfortable fit for a beautiful, effective new smile.
