Dentures

Tooth loss has many causes: decay, gum disease and injuries are the most common. Missing teeth detract from your appearance and make eating and speaking more difficult. Strain on your remaining teeth invite more tooth loss. One of the most common tooth replacement options are dentures.

A denture is a set of removable artificial teeth that rest directly on the gums. Full dentures consist of a plastic framework, resembling natural gums, into which artificial teeth are set. The dentures fit directly on the gums.

Clean dentures thoroughly every night. Dr. Moulthrop can recommend a cleaning solution, but be sure to rinse it all off before putting the dentures back into the mouth of before storing them. Store dentures overnight in a moist denture container to keep them from drying and warping. Keep your mouth clean as well as your dentures. Brush your gums and the roof of your mouth with a soft brush. You'll clean away food particles and keep your gums healthy.

Dr. Moulthrop personally sets every tooth when making new dentures to ensure proper placement and patient satisfaction. Each set of dentures is artistically hand fabricated for esthetics, phonetics and fit.
