Ready to regain a complete, confident smile? At Stein Dental Care in Nashville, Dr. Alan Stein specializes in creating custom-designed dentures that look and feel natural, seamlessly replacing missing teeth. Whether you need to replace all or just some of your teeth, our goal is to provide you with comfortable and aesthetically pleasing dentures that enhance your smile and improve your quality of life.
Finding the Right Dentures For You
Dentures are innovative oral prosthetics meticulously crafted to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth and gums. Dr. Alan Stein offers both complete and partial dentures, tailoring each appliance to meet your unique needs and restore the integrity of your smile. During your consultation, we'll thoroughly discuss your options to determine the best solution for you.
Our top dentures systems in Nashville include:
Complete Dentures
When all of your natural teeth are missing, complete dentures provide a full arch replacement. In some cases, tooth extractions may be necessary to prepare your mouth for a complete denture. We understand this process, and Dr. Stein coordinates closely with oral surgeons when tooth extractions are performed outside our office.
Conventional Dentures
With conventional dentures, impressions are taken, and the dentures are fabricated after all remaining teeth have been extracted and your gums have had time to heal, typically around 4-6 weeks. During this healing period, you will be without teeth. Once your gums are fully healed, your custom-made dentures will be placed, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit over your gum tissues.
Immediate Dentures
Dr. Stein's preferred approach often involves immediate dentures. These dentures are created before any necessary tooth extractions. Following the extractions, the immediate denture is placed right away, meaning you don't have to experience a period without teeth. This method allows your gums to heal underneath the denture, often resulting in a better initial fit. It's important to note that as your gum tissue naturally changes during the healing process, follow-up appointments for adjustments will be necessary to ensure an optimal long-term fit. Rest assured, Dr. Stein includes these crucial follow-up visits at no additional charge.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining, partial dentures offer an excellent solution to fill in the gaps. By preserving your existing teeth and avoiding further extractions, partial dentures help maintain your natural bite and prevent remaining teeth from shifting. We offer partial dentures in various materials, including metal, acrylic, and nylon. Nylon partial dentures are a popular choice due to their flexibility and natural appearance.
Your Personalized Denture Consultation
When you visit Stein Dental Care for your denture consultation, our dental team will conduct a comprehensive examination and discuss your individual needs and preferences. We'll help you understand the different types of dentures available, determine if any extractions are necessary, and answer all of your questions to ensure you feel confident and informed about your treatment plan.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential for the longevity and appearance of your complete or partial dentures. While denture care differs from a traditional oral hygiene routine for natural teeth, Dr. Stein and our team will provide you with detailed instructions to keep your dentures in excellent condition.
