Restore Your Smile and Chewing Ability with Dentures
Missing teeth are more common than many people realize. The American College of Prosthodontists reports that over 36 million Americans have lost all their natural teeth, and around 120 million are missing at least one. Missing teeth can impact not only your smile but also your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident.
At Victory Smiles Dental Center in Houston - Westheimer, we offer customized denture solutions designed to restore both function and appearance. Whether you need partial or full dentures, our team is here to help you regain a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile.
Understanding Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth created to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. Modern dentures feature a durable acrylic base and lifelike teeth that blend naturally with your gums and existing teeth. When properly fitted, dentures help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Partial vs. Full Dentures
- Partial Dentures: Perfect for patients who are missing some teeth but still have healthy natural teeth. They clip securely into place to fill gaps and help maintain proper tooth alignment.
- Full Dentures: Made for patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches. Full dentures fully restore your smile and can be paired with dental implants for extra stability and comfort.
Dental Implants for Dentures
For patients looking for a more secure option, denture implants combine the stability of dental implants with the full coverage of traditional dentures. This hybrid solution prevents slipping, enhances chewing ability, and offers a durable, long-lasting way to replace multiple missing teeth.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Proper denture care ensures comfort, longevity, and oral health:
- Clean dentures daily before reinserting.
- Remove dentures at night and store in a cleaning solution.
- Brush gently with a soft brush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Visit your dentist promptly if dentures become uncomfortable or damaged.
