Dentures

A Comfortable, Natural-Feeling Smile

At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, we believe that no two smiles are the same, which is why we take a customized approach to creating your dentures. Our practice happily offers top-tier, personalized dentures to provide you with enhanced comfort, improved appearance and better oral function. Dr. Joseph Khalil and Dr. Brandi Coyle utilize innovative fitting techniques with high-quality materials to help patients achieve their best smile yet. We craft each appliance with care and precision while tailoring it to your smile to ensure a perfect fit that will last.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable oral appliances that serve as a missing teeth and soft tissue replacement. At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, we offer partial and full dentures for individuals who may be only missing a few teeth or those experiencing tooth loss in an entire arch.

Tooth loss is extremely common, especially in older adults, with the CDC reporting that 1 in 7 people 65 and older have lost all their teeth. It’s important to treat the mouth even after tooth loss—that’s because tooth loss can lead to problems chewing, speaking and even impact your facial anatomy over time. These appliances help you take back control of your oral health, allowing you to enjoy not only a more beautiful smile, but also better oral health and overall wellness.

Determining If Dentures Are A Good Choice For You

At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, Dr. Khalil and Dr. Coyle will begin by performing a thorough evaluation of your jaw, gums and any teeth you may still have. Our team will also take digital X-rays to make sure we have a full picture of your oral health. We will go over several factors in detail to determine if you are a good candidate for these oral appliances, including:

  • The number of missing teeth
  • The duration of time you’ve been missing teeth
  • Preference on removable or fixed appliances
  • The health status of your jawbone
  • How your upper and bottom jaw comes together
  • Your lifestyle preferences

Fitting You For Dentures

Once you and our dentists decide that dentures are a great choice for you, we will take digital impressions of your mouth. These digital images are then sent to a lab that specializes in manufacturing custom, natural-looking dentures. Once they have arrived at our Lansdowne office, we will have you come back in for a final fitting and adjustment to make sure they fit properly and comfortably. Our dentists will look carefully at your mouth and apply pressure on your gums to make sure the devices fit as they are designed. It may take you some time to get used to your new dentures, which is completely normal.
