At Great Basin Dental, we offer a variety of denture options for our Reno patients. Our dentures restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Whether you need full dentures, partial dentures, or implant-retained dentures, our team is dedicated to providing you with comfortable, natural-looking solutions that fit your needs.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed right after your teeth are removed. This means you won’t have to go without teeth while your gums heal. We take impressions of your mouth before your extraction, allowing us to create dentures that fit well from the start. While immediate dentures can help you maintain your appearance, you may need adjustments as your gums heal and change shape.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures are an excellent option for those looking for a secure and stable solution. These dentures are supported by dental implants that are surgically placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or move, implant-retained dentures stay firmly in place, providing a comfortable fit. They also help preserve jawbone health, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some natural teeth but are missing others, partial dentures can fill in the gaps. These dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and are designed to blend in with your remaining teeth. They can be removable or fixed, depending on your needs. Partial dentures not only improve your smile but also help maintain the structure of your mouth and prevent other teeth from shifting out of place.
Denture Care
Taking care of your dentures is essential for keeping them in good shape and ensuring your oral health. Always handle your dentures with care and clean them daily using a soft brush and denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive. Be sure to soak your dentures in water or a denture cleaning solution when you’re not wearing them to prevent them from drying out. Regular care will help keep your dentures looking great and functioning well.
Exams & Maintenance
Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining your dentures. During these visits, we will assess the fit and condition of your dentures and make any necessary adjustments. Even if you’re not experiencing problems, it’s good to have your dentures checked at least once a year. This helps ensure they are functioning properly and supports your overall oral health.
Denture Relines
Over time, your gums may change shape due to weight loss or age, which can affect the fit of your dentures. Denture relines are a simple procedure that involves adding new material to the underside of your dentures, improving their fit and comfort. This process is typically quick and can be done in our office, helping you get back to enjoying your favorite foods and activities without discomfort.
Rebase & Repairs
If your dentures are damaged or worn out, we offer rebase and repair services to restore them. A rebase involves replacing the base of your denture while keeping the existing teeth intact. This can be a great option if your dentures no longer fit well, but the teeth are still in good condition. If you have a broken denture, we can also repair it quickly to ensure you can continue wearing your dentures comfortably.
Soft Liners
Soft liners are a type of cushioning material that can be added to the inside of your dentures for added comfort. They are especially beneficial for patients with sensitive gums or those who experience discomfort with traditional dentures. Soft liners help absorb pressure and reduce friction, making it easier to wear your dentures throughout the day. If you find your dentures uncomfortable, ask us about soft liners as a solution.
