Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you have suffered from tooth loss, you may be suffering from a loss of confidence in addition to the reduced function of your teeth when you are chewing, speaking, and performing other everyday activities. At Acadia Family Dentistry, we are committed to providing Thibodaux, LA area patients a variety of options to restore the health and beauty of their smile, including complete dentures service for patient’s who need to replace a full arch of teeth.

Modern dentures: comfort and convenience

Dentures are one of many types of tooth replacement options available to patients who have lost teeth or require dental extractions. Today’s dentures are nothing like the unattractive, uncomfortable dentures of decades past. Dr. Palmer uses the latest dental materials to craft your new denture so that it looks as great as it functions. Complete dentures are a convenient, economical way to restore a full arch of teeth after tooth loss.

• Traditional dentures are fully removable, so you can take them out for care and cleaning as well as while you sleep at night. They are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth without irritating your gums and are held in place with natural suction or denture adhesives.
• Implant-supported dentures blend the oral health benefits and stability of dental implants with the cost-effectiveness of dentures and can be a great option for patients who need to replace a full arch of teeth but want a more stable, permanent option than removable dentures.

Dr. Palmer knows that choosing between tooth replacement options is a big decision, and he will take the time to talk through the best options for your specific needs so you can feel confident about your decision.

Taking care of your dentures

Just like your normal teeth, dentures require daily cleaning to not only maintain your oral health but also preserve their longevity. We will talk with you about the best way to clean your dentures, including the types of denture cleaners and toothbrushes we recommend. In addition, we will give you instructions on how to take care of your dentures while you sleep—it is important to keep them submerged in the proper temperature of water so that they do not dry out or become misshapen.
