How Do Dentures Work?​

Dentures are a prosthetic device used to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are used for people who have no remaining teeth left in their mouths. Partial dentures are for people who have lost several teeth in a row. Dentures are removable and held in place with a special adhesive. This allows for proper cleaning and care. However, some prefer to have dental implants that allow their dentures to have more stability in their mouth. These dental implants create a no-slip solution for dentures, which some people prefer. Dr. Wilhite is happy to assist you with any of your denture needs.

Proper Denture Care

Taking care of your dentures ensures their longevity and maintains your oral health:

  • Remove and clean your dentures daily using a soft brush and mild cleanser.
  • Keep your dentures moist when not in use to maintain their shape.
  • Schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of your gums and the fit of your dentures.

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

It’s normal to experience some discomfort while adjusting to new dentures. Dr. Wilhite and his team provide guidance on how to ease the transition, including:

  • Practicing speaking and eating with soft foods
  • Using a denture adhesive for added stability
  • Scheduling follow-up appointments to adjust the fit as needed

Types of Dentures We Offer

1. Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. They are crafted to provide a natural look and a secure fit. Modern advancements in denture technology allow for greater comfort and improved function.

2. Partial Dentures

If you have some remaining healthy teeth, partial dentures are an excellent option. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a metal or acrylic base and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

For increased stability and a more natural feel, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to dental implants. This option prevents slipping and provides greater chewing power and comfort.

Benefits of Custom Dentures

Dentures are more than just a cosmetic solution—they improve your overall oral function and health. Some key benefits include:

  • Restored chewing and speaking ability
  • Enhanced facial structure by preventing sagging
  • Increased confidence with a natural-looking smile
  • Long-lasting results with proper care
Dr. Wilhite is amazing. I have gone to many dentists in my 40 years but none have helped me the way he has. He takes time to do things right and is knowledgeable about things you would think only your medical doctor would know about. If you want a truly healthy mouth, not just clean, Dr. Wilhite is the dentist to go to. I recommend him to everyone I know. Plus, his hygienists and staff are super friendly. I have been coming here for years and won't be changing until he retires!

Dr. Wilhite and his staff are amazing! They have taken care of my teeth (and my husband's) for over 10 years, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. His staff is extremely patient and courteous, and Dr. Wilhite always takes the time to explain both what he is doing and why. When I needed extensive dental work right after the birth of our daughter, Dr. Wilhite and his staff were extremely supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. As they do in all situations, they went the extra mile in that case to make sure that they coordinated with my doctor so that the medications they provided wouldn't cause negative side effects for me or our newborn. Dr. Wilhite and his team made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire experience, and I couldn't be more please with the way my smile turned out!

Dr. Wilhite and his wonderful staff have helped me and my family maintain the best possible dental health. For me, I finally decided to wear braces and get my bite corrected and, with a few needed maintenance procedures, can say that my teeth and gums have never been in better shape (at +60 years old, that is a blessing).We always feel like members of a family when we come in. The staff is so personal and welcoming. Good dental health is a journey. Dr. Wilhite and his staff are there for us ever step of the way.
