Dentures

Reclaim Your Smile, Rediscover Your Confidence

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, offering a practical solution for those who have lost several or all of their teeth. They help restore function and appearance, improving the ability to eat and speak better than without teeth. Dentures come in two main types: complete dentures for when all teeth are missing, and partial dentures when some natural teeth remain.

Types of Dentures

Complete Dentures

Used when all teeth are missing. They can be conventional dentures, which are placed after the gum tissue has healed, or immediate, which are placed immediately after teeth removal.

Partial Dentures

These are opted when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from changing position.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Provide more stability than regular dentures. Implants serve as a base to attach and support the denture securely.

What to Expect

Denture Application at Sparr Heights Dental

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience!

My experience started with Kassandra, who helped me out and took X-rays of my teeth. She was super nice, professional, and very gentle.

Then came Dr. Arvin, and he was amazing. He gave me a thorough cleaning, evaluation, and great advice that really put my mind at ease.

I highly recommend Sparr Heights Dental to anyone looking for a lifelong dentist and a great family dentist. The entire team made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment I walked in.

Thank you so much to the entire Sparr Heights Dental family! I’m actually going to look forward to my cleanings now!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Sparr Heights Dental for the last two years mostly for routine cleanings. Dr. T is down-to-earth, easygoing, and honest. He has a good relationship with his employees, and they all go out of their way to offer helpful advice and answer questions. I had some decay near an old filling show up on an x-ray, but Dr. T recommended watching it instead of treating it. Eventually, it did need to be treated, and the before-and-after photos gave me confidence in the work. My hygienist Helen is super thorough, the front office is pleasant, and it’s a neighborhood gem. If you’ve never truly felt like you’ve found your dentist, I highly recommend this office. Even if you’re not nearby, a good dentist is worth the drive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in to visit the dental office knowing that I needed a cleaning but what I was in store for was so much more. The front desk staff was exceptionally welcoming and pleasant upon arrival. When I sat down with the hygienist, she was AMAZING!! She was so nice and had quite the personality, she was gentle and thoughtful during my cleaning and explained everything as she cleaned. Next....as expected, cavities. Dr. Tounian to the rescue...OUTSTANDING!!! He numbed me up with such gentleness and was so kind and thoughtful as he noticed additional dental needs. He remedied all of my dental issues, know and unknown in that one visit. I experienced little to no pain aside from the initial prick for numbing during and after the procedure. Dr. Tounian is an awesome dentist, my new dentist!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Tounian and everyone at Sparr Heights Dental was great!  The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional from start to finish.  What I appreciated most was their honesty.  They didn't try to upsell treatment.  Both Dr. Tounian and Helen my hygienist let me know that a molar I was concerned about didn't need any work just yet and could simply be monitored. I highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of putting off a checkup, I'm so glad I chose to visit Dr. Tounian. He was thorough, straightforward, and took the time to explain everything without making me feel pressured. His assistant was also compassionate and gentle. I was comfortable throughout the entire visit and I would highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Tounian and his staff are AMAZING :) (which is truly an understatement of how competent and kind everyone is). So Dr. Tounian has been my dentist for years, so when he changed locations, I followed (and so did the rest of my clan). He has a fast and steady; and something I truly I admire about him is that he acknowledges how important his staff. Great dentist, great staff, great office….Also if you’re a sports or comic fanatic - there is a ton of art/memorabilia here (like a life size Darth Vader - thank me later for spilling the sauce here).

Question and answer

FAQS About Dentures

With proper care, dentures can last from multiple years to a lifetime. They do require maintenance and relines regularly.

Some patients feel no discomfort, which other patients can feel discomfort, especially in the beginning of the treatment.

Modern dentures are designed to look as natural as possible and can be adjusted for color, shape, and fit to match your facial aesthetics.

Properly fitted dentures can remain in place comfortably, but they may shift while eating or speaking. Most patients require adhesive to keep the dentures in place.

Regular dental checkups are recommended every 6 months to ensure the dentures fit well and to examine your oral health.

If your dentures break, contact your dentist immediately.

Alternatives include dental bridges and dental implants, which provide a more permanent solution.

The cost depends on the type of dentures chosen and any additional treatments required. Consultation with your dentist will provide specific pricing.
