Dentures

Cosmetic Dentist serving Boulder and Denver, Colorado

If you have many missing teeth, you may be a candidate for dentures. Dentures are removable replacements that improve chewing and speech and restore sagging face muscles to their natural shape.

There are two main types of dentures-complete and partial. A denture that replaces all teeth is called a complete denture; a partial denture replaces missing teeth and keeps the surrounding teeth from changing position. Complete dentures can be either conventional or immediate. For a conventional denture, all the patient's teeth are removed and time is allowed for the patient to heal, after which the dentures are fitted. Immediate dentures are placed in the mouth as soon as the teeth are removed. Dr. Schaffer will analyze your dental situation to determine which type of dentures are best for you.

The complete denture process, including extraction and fitting, generally takes about one month. Dr. Schaffer will give you instructions on how long to wear your dentures at first and how to care for them. Once you have become accustomed to your dentures, they will look and function like your natural teeth.

If you live in the Boulder or Denver-metro area, and are thinking about being fitted for dentures, please contact Dr. Schaffer today. He'll help determine which options are best suited for your specific dental needs. For the smile of your life, contact Dr. Schaffer today!
