Having a beautiful, complete smile is something that many of us take for granted. But if you have lost teeth due to disease or injury, the loss can be devastating and affect your quality of life. One solution is dentures; not just a false set of teeth but an artfully crafted restoration system designed to give you back the ability to eat well, speak naturally, and even look younger!
Clover Hills Dentistry proudly serves the Mission, TX, area with quality dental services. Dr. Jo-Ann Collantes provides restorative dentistry to patients that need to regain their dental health. Our team is passionate about providing the highest level of care for all our patients, ensuring you receive the best service every time.
Dentures are great for those struggling with dental conditions or missing teeth. Dentures can improve your appearance, self-esteem, and even your diet! Not only are dentures comfortable, but they also help prevent facial wrinkles by giving the face additional support. Additionally, dentures can help you chew food more efficiently, making it easier to consume nutritious foods that were once difficult to eat. Investing in dentures is an excellent way to protect your oral health and overall quality of life!
Delivering dental care with empathy and kindness is vital to patients of all ages. Once you sit in one of our comfortable dental chairs, here’s what one can expect:
At denture screenings, Dr. Collantes provides an accurate and comprehensive evaluation of dentures. During the screening, we encourage you to discuss any questions or concerns about your dentures. Also, she can help you decide whether full or partial dentures will optimize your dental health.
If you have severe decay, Dr. Collantes might suggest removing some teeth before fitting dentures. After your gums have healed, she will take impressions of your smile.
Dr. Collantes will create a digital imprint of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures. Then, she will help you decide on the shade of white you want your teeth to be, aiming to make your new dentures look as natural as possible.
After taking denture impressions and creating a game plan, Dr. Collantes will send these details to our dental laboratory for a custom set of dentures.
After placing the new dentures in the mouth, Dr. Collantes will perform a final examination thoroughly to assess the dentures’ fit, quality, and stability. Additionally, oral health is assessed to ensure the dentures do not place excessive strain on your jaw or cause damage to areas such as the roof of your mouth.
Ultimately, we aim for you to continue using dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. Eventually, maintenance might include denture relining or repair. We are always happy to assist in any way possible and will make any minor adjustments to help maximize your denture comfort.
