About Dentures in Louisville, KY
If you need to replace several lost teeth, full or partial dentures may be an ideal option for you. Removable dentures can restore your smile and allow you to once again eat and speak with confidence. MINT dentistry’s team of board-certified dentists can provide either full or partial removable dentures for anyone who wants a natural-looking smile. Full dentures can replace all the teeth in the top and bottom dental arches. Partial dentures may be ideal when a few to several teeth are missing and clasp around the remaining teeth for stability. At MINT dentistry, we will help you decide whether partial or full dentures fit your situation, then have them made custom so they look great and feel natural. Schedule a consultation at our advanced facility to get more information on dentures and how MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY can give you a smile you feel confident in.

Are Dentures Right for Me?
A strong jaw and healthy gums are essential for patients seeking traditional dentures. You may still have some natural teeth, which can either be extracted for a full denture or kept intact for a partial denture. At your initial consultation at our Louisville, KY office, a member of the MINT dentistry team will assess your oral health before reviewing your choices based on your needs and budget. If you have lost some or all of your teeth, learn more about how you can rejuvenate your smile with dentures by scheduling a consultation at our office.
What Is the Denture Process?
Appointments at MINT dentistry will always begin with getting comfortable in one of our plush treatment chairs. We'll offer you a choice between listening to music on a pair of Beats headphones or watching a show on a flat screen. Once you've put on MINT dentistry sunglasses, the process will start. In some cases, your dentist will perform an extraction and then take the digital x-rays and impressions that will be used to craft your custom dentures. If you are getting partial dentures, they will be matched to the shade of your remaining teeth for an attractive appearance. After your custom dentures are fabricated in a dental laboratory, they will be inserted and adjusted, so they are comfortable, secure, and look natural. Your dentist will then discuss how to take care of your new dentures.
How to Care for Your Dentures
It may take a few days for you to adjust to dentures, but once your do, speaking and eating will become easier. If your dentures feel loose, talk to your restoration team and schedule an appointment to have your dentures adjusted. At home, you will need to brush your dentures at least twice a day. When you take out your dentures, they should be soaked in water so they do not get dry. Continue to schedule exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY so your dentist can watch the condition of your dentures plus the health of your mouth. Your dentist will let you know if your dentures need to be replaced or repaired; however, with optimal care, your full or partial dentures can last for years.
