Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—they affect your confidence, oral health, and ability to enjoy your favorite foods. At Central Park Dental in Mansfield, TX, Dr. Jung and our expert team provide top-tier denture solutions designed to restore both function and aesthetics. Whether you are considering dentures for the first time or looking for an upgrade, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. Crafted from high-quality materials, modern dentures offer a natural look and comfortable fit, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with ease. There are different types of dentures available, and the right choice depends on factors like the number of missing teeth, jawbone health, and individual lifestyle preferences.

Types of Dentures Available at Central Park Dental

Dr. Jung offers a variety of denture options to suit different needs:

1. Full (Complete) Dentures

Complete dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw. These are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth due to decay, injury, or periodontal disease. Traditional full dentures rest on the gums and are custom-fitted to provide a snug, comfortable experience.

2. Partial Dentures

For patients missing only a few teeth, partial dentures provide an excellent solution. These dentures use a metal or acrylic framework that clasps onto the remaining natural teeth, filling in the gaps seamlessly. Partial dentures help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth and prevent shifting.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer the ultimate stability and comfort. Instead of relying solely on gum adhesion, these dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. This solution prevents bone loss and provides a more secure, natural-feeling bite.

4. Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed on the same day as tooth extractions, allowing patients to avoid going without teeth during the healing process. While adjustments are necessary as the gums heal, this option ensures continued aesthetics and function.

5. Overdentures

Overdentures rest on remaining natural teeth or implants for added stability. These are a great option for patients who still have a few viable natural teeth but need additional support.

The Denture Process: What to Expect

At Central Park Dental, Dr. Jung follows a patient-centered approach to ensure every denture fits comfortably and functions optimally. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough dental evaluation, where Dr. Jung assesses your oral health and discusses your goals. X-rays and impressions may be taken to aid in planning.

2. Custom Treatment Plan

Based on your needs, Dr. Jung recommends the best denture option. If extractions or implants are necessary, a timeline is provided to ensure a smooth transition.

3. Impressions & Measurements

Accurate impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken to create a precise model for your custom dentures.

4. Fitting & Adjustments

Once the dentures are fabricated, you’ll try them on to ensure a perfect fit. Adjustments are made to enhance comfort and function.

5. Final Placement & Care Instructions

After final adjustments, your new dentures are ready! Dr. Jung provides thorough instructions on care, maintenance, and how to adapt to your new smile.
