Dentures Near You
The chewing surfaces of your back teeth have natural pits and grooves in them that may trap food, plaque, and bacteria easily. It can also be difficult to clean deep crevices effectively with good brushing habits, so many cavities develop in these areas as well. By using dental sealants, you are giving yourself the best chance of minimizing your risk of developing tooth decay through prevention.
Types of Dentures
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures near you are used when all teeth are missing.
Immediate dentures are placed right after tooth removal, so you never go without teeth. Because gums shrink as they heal, these dentures often require adjustments or relining.
Conventional dentures are made after the tissues have healed fully, usually after 6–8 weeks, and tend to provide a more secure long-term fit.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures near you are ideal when some natural teeth remain. They help fill gaps and prevent shifting. These dentures have gum-colored bases and replacement teeth supported by metal clasps or nearly invisible precision attachments. Crowns may sometimes be recommended to improve the fit of partial dentures.
Overdentures
An overdenture is a removable denture that is designed specifically to be worn over your remaining few natural teeth and/or dental implants. By using the natural teeth and/or dental implants as additional support for your dentures, overdentures provide added stability, making for a more comfortable and secure fit.

How Are Dentures Made?
Making dentures is a multi-step process with many visits to ensure the most accurate and comfortable denture for you.
Initial Examination
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best type of denture.
Impressions & Measurements
Detailed molds and bite measurements are taken, along with selecting a natural tooth shade.
Wax Try-In
A wax version of your denture is checked for fit, shape, and color before final fabrication.
Final Fabrication
The laboratory replaces the wax with durable acrylic and completes the final denture.
Placement & Adjustments
Your denture is fitted, and the dentist makes any necessary refinements.
Adjusting to Your New Dentures
It is normal for new dentures to feel bulky or awkward at first. You may experience sore spots, increased saliva, or slight changes in speech. Eating soft foods and chewing on both sides of the mouth helps ease the transition. Over time, your mouth adapts, and the denture begins to feel more natural.
Overdentures
An overdenture is a removable denture that is designed specifically to be worn over your remaining few natural teeth and/or dental implants. By using the natural teeth and/or dental implants as additional support for your dentures, overdentures provide added stability, making for a more comfortable and secure fit.

Aesthetic Family Dental has been my dentist for over a year and the service they provide is top tier. Front desk concierge is very polite, patient and very accommodating. To sum up the Docs review(both of them), I feel asleep during my appointment and I got a root canal. With that being said they do a VERY great job with their patients. Need a Dentist? This is where you want to come. Stay blessed

I would come here even if I didn't need to. The staff is amazing sweet and caring but also very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. I never had wait for very long but the office and schedule was always full. The dentist are almost magical and extremely talented. My case was not easy and I had seen dozen or so dentist prior to coming here and was let down by all of them. The dentist here are understanding, considerate and very patient. My issues were difficult to talk about and even more difficult to show and they were very considerate of that at every stage. Amazing place everyone should come here. Thank you to all the staff and dentist your guys are amazing.
