Dentures in Austin, TX

Types of Dentures We Offer

No two smiles are alike, so we offer more than one denture solution. During your consultation, we recommend the option that fits your needs best.

Full Dentures

When you’ve lost all your teeth in your upper or lower arch, full dentures rebuild the entire row at once. The denture sits over your gums and is custom-shaped to your mouth, so it looks natural and feels comfortable. The result is a complete smile you can eat and speak with again. We typically recommend full dentures if you:

• Have lost all the teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both
• Currently wear old, ill-fitting dentures that need to be replaced
• Want to restore a full, natural-looking smile all at once

If you’re in search of more stability, ask us about implant-supported dentures. This option secures your denture to dental implants, so it stays firmly in place rather than shifting around throughout the day.

Partial Dentures

Still have some healthy teeth? A partial denture works around them, filling the gaps while your natural teeth stay put. It clasps gently onto the neighboring teeth for support, which also keeps them from drifting into the empty spaces. You get a restored bite and a smile that blends right in.

Partial dentures are a great choice if you:

• Have a few missing teeth, but still have healthy teeth remaining
• Want to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting into the spaces left open
• Are looking for a less invasive and less expensive option than bridges or implants

Implant-Supported Dentures

If stability is your main concern, implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants placed in your jawbone. There are two main types. A removable overdenture snaps onto the implants, so you can take it out for cleaning, but it still stays far more secure than a traditional denture.

A fixed implant-supported denture attaches permanently and doesn’t come out at all, giving you the closest feel to natural teeth. This may be the recommended option if you:

• Want a significantly more secure, natural-feeling fit than a removable denture alone
• Are missing most or all of your teeth in an arch
• Have enough healthy jawbone to support dental implants

Both options take longer to complete and cost more upfront than a removable denture. For many patients, the added stability and comfort make it worthwhile.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures do far more than fill empty space. They offer real, everyday benefits, including:

• Restoring your ability to chew a wider range of foods
• Assisting you in speaking more clearly and confidently
• Supporting your facial muscles and appearance
• Compensating for a sunken look caused by missing teeth
• Providing you with a full, natural-looking smile
• Offering an affordable solution for replacing teeth

The Denture Process at Lilac Dental

Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll check your mouth, but just as important, we’ll listen to what you actually want from your smile. If any preliminary treatment is necessary, we’ll take care of it before we start your dentures.

From there, we take careful impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions guide the crafting of your custom denture. Once it’s ready, you’ll come back in for a proper fitting. We check how your new full or partial denture fits, how you bite down, and how it looks when you smile.

If anything feels even slightly off, we adjust it until it’s right. Before you leave, we’ll walk you through wearing and caring for your denture. Our team stays with you through the whole process.

Adjusting to and Caring for Your New Dentures

New dentures take a little time to get used to. A little soreness and increased saliva production are common at first and usually subside in a few days or weeks. Start with soft foods, cut into small pieces, and practice speaking aloud even if it feels silly. Comfort isn’t instant; it builds the more you actually wear them. A few daily habits go a long way:

• Rinse after meals to clear away food particles
• Brush daily with something soft, nothing abrasive
• Let them soak overnight instead of sitting out dry
• Handle them over a towel or water, just in case they slip
• Keep up with your regular dental checkups
