How modern dentures rebuild a full smile at Brammeier Family Dental
When most or all of your teeth are missing or failing, complete dentures are the most affordable way to bring back a full arch of natural-looking teeth, so eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence get easier again. Customized to fit your mouth precisely, today's dentures look dramatically more natural than the ones you may remember from a generation ago.
Here's what to expect, as the video lays out. Impressions of your mouth guide the fabrication of a custom-fit denture, which is then refined across a few short adjustment visits so it feels comfortable, looks natural, and doesn't irritate your gums. Most patients adapt to speaking and eating with a new denture within a few weeks.
Replacing missing teeth restores your face as well. With no teeth in place, the jawbone slowly shrinks and the lips and cheeks lose support, which brings wrinkles, a sunken profile, and a more aged appearance; a well-fitted denture gives that support back. Want even more stability? Implant-supported options are available, and our full arch restoration page has the details.
At your consultation, Dr. Lauren Brammeier will weigh the trade-offs with you, whether you're considering an immediate denture placed right after extractions or a conventional one fitted after healing. If cost is a concern, ask about financing options.
