Dentures in Stanley, WI
If you are missing teeth, dentures can be a positive solution for improving your oral health and quality of life. At Stanley Hometown Dentistry, we provide dentures designed to fit your mouth for proper function, unique comfort, and a natural-looking smile.
Custom Dentures Designed for Comfort and Function
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. At our office, every denture is custom made to fit your mouth, match your facial features, and give you a natural-looking smile. Whether you need a complete set or are only missing a few teeth, we will help you find the option that fits your needs.
Types of Dentures We Offer
- Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch.
- Partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain.
- All-On-4® implant dentures anchor a full arch to dental implants for maximum stability.
The Denture Process
We begin with an exam and impressions of your mouth. Our team then works with a dental lab to create dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. We will check the fit, bite, and appearance and make adjustments until you are happy with the result.
Caring for Your Dentures
Following your appointment, we will provide instructions for at-home denture care. Rinse and brush your dentures daily, store them in water or a soaking solution overnight, and handle them carefully to avoid damage. We strongly recommend scheduling follow-up appointments for periodic denture cleanings and adjustments, since your mouth naturally changes over time.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures restore your ability to chew and speak clearly, support your facial muscles, and boost your confidence. If you are considering a more permanent solution, ask us about dental implants.
Dentures FAQs
How long does it take to get dentures?
The process usually takes several appointments over a few weeks, including impressions, try-in fittings, and final placement.
Will dentures look natural?
Yes. Modern dentures are custom designed to match your face, gums, and preferred tooth shade.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures typically last five to ten years, though they may need relining or adjustments as your mouth changes.
Is it hard to eat with new dentures?
There is an adjustment period. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually return to your normal diet.
Should I wear dentures while sleeping?
Most patients should remove dentures overnight to give gums a chance to rest and to keep the dentures clean.
What if my dentures feel loose?
Loose dentures may need to be relined or adjusted. Call our office to schedule a check.
Can dentures be attached to implants?
Yes. Implant-supported options such as All-On-4® provide a more stable fit than traditional dentures.
