Making Sure Dentures Will Look Natural

Sets of DenturesHave you ever looked at swatches of wallpaper or carpeting and tried to imagine how it might look in your living room? Not easy to do. Choosing a denture that fits your face—and looks and feels natural—poses a similar problem. You never really know how they’re going to look and feel until you get to wear and chew with them.

Our customized denture technique begins with a special treatment denture that you actually wear with the same teeth that will be placed in your final denture. If necessary, changes in both appearance and function can be made in the treatment denture until you are completely satisfied. Then, once you really like both appearance and fit, the treatment dentures are used as a blueprint to create your final dentures.

If you would like to see if a customized, natural-looking denture would meet your needs, please call our office to arrange a consultation.
