About Dentures in Temple HillS, MD
Full or partial dentures could be a good solution for you if you need replacements for several lost teeth.

MINT dentistry's team of dental professionals can provide either partial or full traditional removable dentures for anyone who wants a natural-looking smile.

Are Dentures Right for Me?
Dentures may be ideal for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth but still have healthy gums and a strong jawbone. If you still have some of your natural teeth, they can be used to support a partial denture or extracted for a full denture. At your initial consultation at our Temple Hills, MD practice, your dentist will examine your mouth and teeth, then talk about your choices based on your needs and goals. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, schedule a consultation to learn about how full and partial dentures can rejuvenate your smile and oral health.
What Is the Denture Process?
To start off your procedure, our team at MINT dentistry will help you settle into a massaging treatment chair in a luxuriously outfitted patient room. We'll offer you a pair of Beats headphones so you can listen to music or watch a show on one of our flat-screen televisions. After sliding on a pair of our stylish MINT sunglasses, your procedure will begin. When applicable, a member of our team will perform an extraction before taking digital x-rays and impressions that will be used to make your dentures. Partial dentures will be shaded to match your remaining teeth for a seamless appearance. Once your dentures are crafted in a dental laboratory, they will be inserted and adjusted so they feel comfortable and secure. Your dentist will also discuss the best way to take care of your dentures, including how to clean and store them.
How to Care for Your Dentures
It can take a little bit of time for dentures to start feeling natural, but you should quickly notice how much easier it is to eat and speak normally. If you feel like your dentures are loose, speak to your dentist so they can be adjusted for a better fit. At home, you will need to clean your dentures two times a day by brushing them. When you take out your dentures, you should soak them in water so they do not dry out. Continue to schedule appointments for cleanings and exams at MINT dentistry in Temple Hills, MD so your dentist can monitor the fit and condition of your restoration as well as your oral health. Your dentist will tell you if you need to have your dentures replaced or repaired; however, with good care, your custom dentures can be a long-lasting restoration.
