Dentures in Goldsboro, NC

Teeth need to work together, and gaps in your mouth left by extractions can make them shift to try and fill in the hole. This leaves only one choice: replacing those lost teeth with something that works equally as well. Carolina Dental Arts offers a solution: partial and complete dentures in Goldsboro, NC. These replace both your missing teeth and the tissue around them, improving your speech, chewing, and digestion.

Complete dentures are sets made for your whole mouth, intended for patients who have no or very few teeth left. Partial dentures are better for those who only have a few teeth missing, as they fill in spaces to stop the others from shifting. Both options resemble natural teeth closely enough that it's unlikely anyone will know the difference once you're wearing them.

How the Dentures Process Works

Depending on your situation and whether you're opting for full or partial, we either recommend conventional or immediate models. Conventional take 4-6 weeks to make, as they are done after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed, so you never have to be without teeth. We then make adjustments once the tissues shrink and heal.

You'll need a few weeks of appointments to ensure everything goes well. The dentist takes measurements and molds so we that can create custom dentures. You'll try them on to see that they fit well and the shape and color match. On the last appointment, we place them.

Getting Used to Your Dentures

Even with all of the customization, your muscles and tissues still need some time to get used to your new teeth. As such, there may be soreness, increased saliva, and some difficulty talking and chewing at first. The good news is that none of these should last; you'll soon be feeling like your old self again.

The same dentists who create and fit your dentures teach you how to care for them. Keeping up those habits and your visits with us help them to last for years. Even the best-made models often need adjustments, remaking, and repairs, all of which we can do for you. You've invested in your denture set and deserve to wear it for a long time. Our services ensure that's the case.
