Dentures in Greenville, NC

At Drs. Davila & Velazquez, P.A., we offer dentures as a reliable, removable solution to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or a full arch, dentures help restore the function and appearance of your smile.

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Is Important:

  • Prevents remaining teeth from shifting into empty spaces
  • Reduces the risk of bite problems and jaw muscle pain
  • Helps maintain proper alignment and easier cleaning
  • Lowers the risk of decay and gum disease
  • Restores facial structure and prevents a sunken appearance

Types of Dentures We Offer

Our Greenville, NC, dental office provides several options based on your specific needs:

Full Dentures

  • Used when all upper or lower teeth are missing
  • Restores full dental function and smile aesthetics

Partial Dentures

  • Ideal for replacing several missing teeth in a row
  • Custom-fit to blend seamlessly with your remaining teeth

How Are Dentures Made?

Dentures are custom-made to ensure the best fit and comfort. Contact us to learn more.

The Process Includes:

  • Taking impressions of your mouth
  • Fabrication in a dental laboratory based on those molds
  • Fitting adjustments by your dentist for proper alignment and comfort
  • Instructions provided for cleaning and adapting to your new dentures

What to Expect When Adjusting to Dentures

Adapting to dentures takes a bit of time, but most patients adjust quickly with proper care and patience.

During the Adjustment Period:

  • Some initial soreness is normal as tissues heal
  • You may experience difficulty chewing at first
  • Speech may sound different as your muscles adapt
  • Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions for a smoother transition

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures do more than just restore your smile—they support your overall health and confidence.

Key Benefits:

  • Restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally
  • Prevent shifting of remaining teeth
  • Support facial structure and reduce premature aging
  • Lower your risk of nutritional deficiencies caused by difficulty eating
  • Enhance self-esteem by restoring your full, confident smile

Preventing Future Oral Health Issues

Replacing missing teeth helps protect your mouth in the long run.

Without Dentures:

  • The jawbone shrinks where teeth are missing
  • Facial structure begins to change over time
  • Bite alignment may be affected
  • Oral hygiene becomes more difficult, increasing the risk of disease

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care extends the life of your dentures and keeps your mouth healthy.

Tips for Denture Care:

  • Brush daily to remove plaque and food debris
  • Rinse and soak dentures overnight in a recommended solution
  • Avoid hot water, which can warp the denture material
  • Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings
  • Continue to brush your gums, tongue, and roof of the mouth to maintain oral hygiene
