Dentures are artificial replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. They are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth, restoring your smile and your ability to eat and speak with ease. The use of dentures dates back to ancient times, and today, they are a common, reliable solution for those who have lost multiple teeth due to age, disease, or injury. At Vibrant Smiles of Holland, Dr. Jay Patel provides high-quality, custom-made dentures to patients in and around Southhampton.
DID YOU KNOW?
Partial dentures are available for those who have only lost a few teeth, rather than a full set.
Why Should I Get Dentures?
If you've lost all or most of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from teeth or dentures, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile. Plus, dentures make it easier to eat and speak than you could without teeth—things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost.

The Benefits of Dentures
Improved Appearance
Dentures can vastly improve your appearance by replacing missing teeth and filling in your smile. They are designed to resemble your natural teeth, so there's no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures can even fill out your face, eliminating the sunken look that can occur when multiple teeth are missing.
Enhanced Functionality
With dentures, you can enjoy your favorite foods again and speak clearly. Dentures restore the functionality of your mouth, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile confidently. They are designed to be comfortable and fit well in your mouth, so you can go about your daily life without any discomfort or inconvenience.
Longevity and Durability
Dentures are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With proper care, they can last many years. They are also highly durable and can withstand the rigors of daily use, including eating a variety of foods.
The Denture Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
The first step in getting dentures is a consultation with Dr. Patel. During this appointment, he will examine your mouth and discuss your treatment options. He will also take impressions of your mouth to ensure that your dentures will fit perfectly.
Denture Creation
Based on the impressions taken during your consultation, your custom dentures will be created in a dental lab. This process ensures that your dentures will fit comfortably and look natural.
Fitting and Adjustment
Once your dentures are ready, you'll return to Vibrant Smiles of Holland for a fitting. Dr. Patel will make sure your new dentures fit well and feel comfortable in your mouth. He will also make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
