Dentures Near You
Do you want a complete smile that allows you to eat and speak in comfort? Today’s dentures are made from porcelain and acrylic, so they look and feel just right. This affordable option is the most popular way for patients to replace their missing teeth.
Living with missing teeth can be a real hassle, making eating difficult and leaving you reluctant to smile. Dentures provide a beautiful smile that you’ll really feel good about.
Dentures to Restore Any Number of Missing Teeth
At Delaware Star Dental, we use dentures to replace any number of missing teeth. When you meet with Dr. Syed for your consultation, he’ll go over your options to help you find the best solution to match your lifestyle.
Full dentures are a set of removable prosthetic teeth used to restore an arch. Dr. Syed features natural-looking full dentures to replace one or both arches. It generally requires about three to six weeks to get full dentures, but it may take longer if you have teeth that require extraction before we begin the process.
In order to ensure a perfect fit, Dr. Syed will create a precise impression of your smile that we share with our dental lab. When your dentures are ready, he’ll place them and then you’ll return to our office a few times so he can readjust your dentures for a snug and comfortable fit.
A partial denture — also known as partials — is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Partials consist of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base. Your partial dentures are custom-made by our dental lab to blend in with your smile.
Partial dentures are often secured by attaching them to your existing teeth with a metal clasp. Dr. Syed can also restore missing teeth using a dental bridge.
Our immediate full denture is the fastest way to restore your smile. In fact, they’re made in advance, so we can place your attractive new smile in just one day. Using dental sedation, Dr. Syed will remove any existing teeth and place a complete set of dentures in your jaw.
There will be one or more follow-up appointments, so Dr. Syed can adjust your dentures until they fit the way you want them to.
Overdentures are a special type of dentures that are held firmly in place using dental implants, but they’re still removable for easy cleaning. Because they’re secured with dental implants, overdentures are very comfortable and they give you exceptional chewing power. They also improve your dental health by stimulating essential jawbone development.
