What Are Dentures and Partials?

Full Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace an entire set of missing teeth. These prosthetics rest on the gums and are custom-created to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth. They restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Partials, on the other hand, are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth. These removable replacements are anchored to your remaining teeth with a customized fit, filling in the gaps caused by missing ones.

At Marks Dentures Lab, we specialize in crafting both types of dentures using cutting-edge digital technology, such as our intraoral scanner, Exocad design software, and MC X5 Milling Machine. The result? Dentures and partials that fit comfortably look natural and boost your self-esteem.

Signs That Dentures or Partials Might Be Right for You

Are dentures or partials what you need? Here are a few signs and symptoms to watch for:

• Multiple Missing Teeth: Dentures or partials might be the perfect solution if you’ve lost several teeth and are experiencing difficulty chewing food or speaking.

• Worn Dentition: Heavily worn or damaged teeth can make eating painful and may indicate the need for comprehensive dental replacement.

• Gum and Jawbone Issues: Sunken cheeks or changes in facial structure due to bone loss are other signs that dentures could help restore your appearance and functionality.

• Difficulty with Current Dental Appliances: If bridges or alternative solutions don’t offer the comfort or ease you need, it’s time to consider dentures or partials.

The Denture & Partial Process at Marks Dentures Lab

At Marks Dentures Lab, we’ve designed an efficient yet precise process to ensure every patient gets a customized fit. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and Assessment  

During your first visit, our team, led by Dr. Geigle, will evaluate your oral health and discuss your specific needs. We use advanced digital imaging to assess your gums, remaining teeth (if any), and jawbone structure.

Digital Design

Using our intraoral scanner and Exocad design software, we create precise digital blueprints of your dentures or partials. This ensures a perfect fit and a natural appearance.

Our state-of-the-art MC X5 Milling Machine crafts your dentures accurately. Everything we create is 100% digital, allowing for improved aesthetics, function, and durability.

Fitting and Adjustments

Once your custom dentures or partials are ready, we conduct a fitting session to ensure optimal comfort and appearance. If any adjustments are needed, we fine-tune them on-site.

Final Placement and Care Guidance

After a successful fitting, our team provides detailed guidance on caring for your new dentures or partials, ensuring they last for years.

Aftercare Tips for Your New Smile

Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity and function of your dentures or partials. Here are some pro tips after leaving our Millcreek office:

• Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures thoroughly daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild cleanser designed specifically for dentures.
• Handle with Care: If your dentures accidentally fall, always hold them over a soft surface or towel to avoid damage.
• Proper Storage: Keep your dentures in water or a dentist-approved soaking solution to prevent them from drying out or losing shape when unused.
• Visit Us for Checkups: Routine checkups at Marks Dentures Lab allow us to monitor the fit and condition of your dentures, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
