Losing multiple teeth affects your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At Legacy Dentistry in Midlothian, TX, Dr. Nguyen provides custom dentures designed to restore your smile’s function and appearance, giving you back the confidence to enjoy life without hesitation.
Modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever before. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or an entire arch, we have a solution that fits your needs and your lifestyle.
Full & Partial Denture Options
The type of denture you need depends on how many teeth you’re missing and the condition of your remaining teeth.
- Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch, or both. They rest on your gums and are held in place by suction or by fitting snugly over the gum ridge. Full dentures are recommended when all remaining teeth are missing or need to be extracted.
- Partial dentures replace several missing teeth when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. They attach to your existing teeth with clasps or precision attachments, filling in the gaps and preventing your remaining teeth from shifting.
Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your oral health and recommend the best solution for your unique needs.
Modern Design That Looks & Feels Natural
Today’s dentures look incredibly realistic. The teeth are made from high-quality acrylic or porcelain that mimics the translucency, color, and texture of natural enamel. The gum-colored base is designed to match your natural gum tissue.
Dr. Nguyen carefully selects tooth shapes and shades that complement your facial features, skin tone, and age. The result is a denture that looks natural, enhances your appearance, and gives you a smile you’re proud to show off.
Modern denture materials are also more durable and stain-resistant than older options, giving you longer-lasting, better-looking results.
Improving Fit & Function
The fit of your denture is critical to your comfort and ability to use it effectively. Dr. Nguyen takes precise impressions and digital scans of your mouth to ensure your denture fits snugly and comfortably.
A well-fitting denture stays in place during activity, distributes chewing forces evenly, allows you to speak clearly, and feels comfortable throughout the day.
It may take a few weeks to fully adjust to wearing dentures, but most patients adapt quickly and are thrilled with the improvement in their quality of life.
Eating & Speaking With Confidence
Dentures restore your ability to eat comfortably and speak clearly. While there’s an adjustment period, most patients find that eating and speaking feel natural again within a few weeks.
Eating Tips During Adjustment:
- Start with soft foods cut into small pieces
- Chew slowly and evenly on both sides
- Gradually reintroduce firmer foods as you gain confidence
- Avoid very hard or sticky foods that can dislodge the denture
Speaking Tips:
- Practice reading aloud to get used to how your denture feels
- Speak slowly at first as your tongue and muscles adjust
- Be patient as improvement comes quickly with consistent wear
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients who want superior stability and function, implant-supported dentures offer a dramatic improvement over traditional dentures.
- Snap-on dentures attach to two to four implants and can be removed for cleaning. They provide significantly better stability than conventional dentures and eliminate the need for denture adhesive.
- Fixed implant dentures are permanently attached to four to six implants and never come out. They function and feel most like natural teeth and offer the highest level of stability and chewing efficiency.
Implant-supported dentures also prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, preserving your facial structure, and preventing the sunken appearance that comes with traditional dentures over time.
Dr. Nguyen will help you understand whether implant-supported dentures are right for your situation.
Adjustments & Relines Over Time
Caring for your dentures properly ensures they stay clean, comfortable, and looking their best.
To care for your dentures:
- Remove and rinse them after every meal
- Brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner
- Soak them overnight in denture solution to prevent warping
- Handle them carefully over a soft surface to avoid dropping and breaking them
- Never use hot water, which can warp the material
- Visit us regularly for checkups and professional cleaning
