Improved Oral Functionality
Dentures allow you to eat a wide variety of foods, ensuring you can maintain a balanced diet. They also help you speak more clearly, eliminating the speech difficulties that can occur with missing teeth.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Custom-designed to match your natural teeth, dentures provide a seamless, attractive look. This boost in appearance can lead to increased self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.
Support for Facial Structure
By filling out your cheeks and lips, dentures help maintain your facial structure. This prevents the sagging or sunken look that can occur with tooth loss, keeping you looking youthful and vibrant.
The Denture Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
During the initial consultation, Dr. Aaron Marks will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes discussing your specific needs and expectations for dentures. Impressions of your mouth may be taken to ensure a perfect fit. This step is crucial, as it sets the foundation for creating dentures that are both comfortable and functional.
Design and Fitting
Once your dental impressions are ready, they are sent to a lab where your custom dentures are crafted. This process involves selecting the right size, shape, and color to match your natural teeth and gums. After the dentures are fabricated, you will return for a fitting. Dr. Marks will ensure that the dentures fit snugly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to avoid discomfort or irritation.
Follow-Up and Adjustments
After your dentures are fitted, it’s important to have regular follow-up appointments. These visits allow Dr. Marks to check the fit of your dentures and make any needed adjustments. Over time, as your mouth changes, your dentures may require further modifications to maintain their fit and comfort. Regular check-ups ensure that your dentures continue to function effectively and provide you with a beautiful, confident smile.

Proper care of dentures is essential for maintaining oral health. Brush your dentures daily using a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food, plaque, and bacteria. Soak them in a denture solution when not in use to prevent them from drying out. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive, and never place dentures in hot water, as it can warp them.
