Dentures

Tooth loss is detrimental to your oral health and can make normal functions, such as eating and speaking, more challenging.
Individuals who have sustained significant tooth loss can benefit from dentures at River City Dental Solutions in San Antonio, TX. Dentist Joseph Perry offers both traditional and implant-supported dentures. Could dentures be right for you?

Notable Benefits

Improves Quality of Life

Individuals with tooth loss often have difficulty eating or speaking normally. Dentures restore your smile so these tasks become easier again.

Rejuvenates Facial Features

Long-term tooth loss can make the facial features sag or cause the appearance of hollowed cheeks. Dentures reestablish facial support for a natural, more youthful look.

Boosts Confidence

Many of our patients in San Antonio, TX, cover their mouths in social situations due to embarrassment over their missing teeth. When you rebuild your smile with natural-looking, custom-designed dentures, you can experience a noticeable improvement in self-esteem.

Types of Dentures

There are several types of prostheses available at our practice in San Antonio, TX. Our dentist can help determine which option will provide the most effective results for you.

Full Dentures

A full denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. This removable appliance is supported by the gums as well as the underlying bone ridge. Denture adhesive may be necessary to help stabilize the prosthesis. 

Contact Us to Learn More

Partial Dentures

A partial denture replaces several missing teeth in one or both arches. Partial dentures rest on the gums as well, but they also have dental clasps that hook around adjacent teeth, adding an extra layer of support and stability.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dental implants can be used to provide unparalleled stability for your replacement teeth. Implants are titanium posts placed directly into the jaw. Once healed, implants can support a removable or fixed denture. This option reduces shifting significantly.

Fountain of Youth Dentures

Our dentist is proud to be one of the few doctors trained in the innovative Fountain of Youth™ Dentures system. The FOY® system approaches denture design by taking both neuromuscular and cosmetic considerations into account. Since your face developed around your natural teeth at their full height and size, replacing teeth with dentures should consider these factors as well. The FOY system considers the impact your teeth had on the muscles of your jaw and factors this into the fit.

How Partial Dentures Complete Your Smile

How can I know if I qualify for this type of treatment?

Candidacy for Dentures

During your consultation at our San Antonio, TX, practice, our dentist will take several factors into account when designing your personalized treatment plan, including:

Tooth Loss Severity

If you have minor tooth loss, then our dentist may recommend alternative options, such as a dental bridge or dental implants. All options are discussed in detail before finalizing treatment.

Bone Loss

Patients considering an implant denture must have sufficient bone density to support the dental implants. Our dentist will take scans and x-rays to measure the density of your jawbone.

Emotional Reasons

If the condition of your smile is affecting your appearance and self-confidence, dentures can give you a new lease on life. Tooth replacement can help you enjoy social events again.

Treatment Timeline

Preparatory Procedures

In some cases, patients may require preparatory procedures before dentures can be placed. Common examples include extractions, tooth root removal, or ridge augmentation to prepare the jaw. If this step is necessary, it can add a few months to your total treatment timeline.

Dental Implant Placement

If you opt for a dental implant-supported prosthesis, the implants must be placed a few months prior to receiving the denture. In some instances, immediate denture placement may be possible. However, in most cases, three to six months of healing must occur to ensure stability.

Dental Impressions

In order to create a denture that fits perfectly, we will take impressions of your gums and any remaining natural teeth. These impressions are used to create custom molds of your mouth, which we send to our trusted partners at a dental lab.

Denture Fabrication

When the lab receives your dental models, they will use them to craft a custom set of dentures. A skilled technician will use the latest and most advanced materials for lifelike results.

Final Adjustments

Your new dentures will be shipped to our San Antonio office, where you will be scheduled for another appointment. During this visit, our dentist will help you try on the prosthesis and make any necessary final adjustments. It is important to note that several adjustments may be necessary before you achieve the desired fit.
