Modern dentures at Frisco Elm Dental are made with high-quality materials and advanced techniques. Regardless of your dentures treatment in Frisco, TX, be confident your new teeth will look, feel, and function naturally for years to come. Dr. Suri partners with you to ensure dental appliances promote health and a beautiful smile. Each treatment plan is unique. From budgets to lifestyle, myriad considerations arise when exploring partial dentures vs. full dentures, and the many other options that today’s dentures-wearers can enjoy.
This tooth replacement option isn’t a single procedure or type of appliance. In general, you may select from four types of dentures:
You’ve already got the process off to a good start by visiting the online home of Dr. Suri and her team in Little Elm. Now, call (214) 705-7100 to schedule an appointment at the office. During this initial visit, the doctor examines your mouth and discusses needs, preferences, and goals with you. She’ll also answer questions you may have about your options to help determine the best system for you.
Generally, Frisco Elm Dental will collect information about your mouth, which is then sent to our lab. Technicians expertly craft dentures based on precise measurements and impressions or molds taken by Dr. Suri. Precision diagnostics on the front-end help to ensure the proper fit that is so important for your new teeth to look, feel, and work no differently than healthy, natural ones.
Also, the dentist will extract remaining decayed or badly damaged teeth, as needed. Extraction sites must be allowed to fully heal, which is vital for the long-term comfort and stability of your dentures. “Conventional” dentures can require a waiting period of 12 weeks, as the lab makes your new teeth; however, you may opt to wear an “immediate denture” temporarily while our skilled lab partners make your new set of teeth.
Our immediate dentures-wearers say they like this option because:
Immediate dentures aren’t suited for every patient. Several adjustments may be needed to achieve proper fit, because these dentures are placed before gums have healed. A well-fitting and lifelike permanent set depends on impressions or models of teeth that are taken when gums have healed and swelling has completely subsided.
Some of Frisco Elm Dental’s patients find considerable value in implant-supported dentures. Since they are built like natural teeth, with implants serving as artificial tooth roots, they’re often considered to be the next best thing to “real teeth.” Thanks to advanced systems, a minimum number of implants support a maximum number of teeth, so costs are contained.
