Dentures in Knoxville, TN

Dentures are a reliable way to replace missing teeth, offering full or partial options. Full dentures replace an entire arch, while partials fill in gaps alongside natural teeth. With today’s materials, dentures look natural and feel comfortable. Whether you need a full set or a partial solution, we customize the fit to help you eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Process

Initial Consultation: Your dentist will examine your mouth, discuss your tooth replacement options, and determine whether full or partial dentures best fit you. If extractions are needed, a treatment plan will be created.

Teeth Extraction (If Necessary): If you have remaining unhealthy teeth, they may need to be removed before getting dentures. Healing time varies but typically takes a few weeks.

Impressions & Measurements: Your dentist will take precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth to ensure a custom fit. Measurements of your bite and jaw alignment are also recorded.

Denture Fabrication: A dental lab creates your dentures using the impressions. The materials and design ensure a natural look and a comfortable fit. This process may take a few weeks.

Next Steps

Fitting & Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, you’ll have a fitting appointment to check comfort and bite alignment. Adjustments may be made to avoid sore spots or discomfort.

Learning to Use Your Dentures: Eating and speaking with new dentures may take some practice. Your dentist will provide tips and recommendations to help you adjust.

Follow-Up Adjustments: After wearing your dentures for a while, minor refinements may be needed for optimal comfort. Regular follow-ups ensure a proper fit.

Long-Term Care & Maintenance: Dentures require daily cleaning and occasional adjustments. Over time, relining or replacing your dentures may be necessary due to natural changes in your gums and jaw.
