Dentures offer a reliable solution for restoring your smile, speech, and chewing ability. Complete dentures are used to restore smile and mouth function if all teeth have been lost. They are custom created and natural looking. They are fit in the patient’s mouth to take the place of the original teeth. Complete dentures are generally removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth. Your denture treatment will begin with a consultation and assessment of your oral health. Following your comprehensive examination, and the determination of the most suitable denture type, impressions and measurements of your mouth will be taken to ensure a custom fit for your dentures. A prototype of your dentures will be created for a trial fitting to check that they fit properly and look good. Your final fitting will consist of any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit, function, and appearance. Once satisfied, the final dentures will be provided. Our team will guide you on proper denture care and provide follow-up appointments to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
If you haven’t lost ALL of your teeth but are still looking for an effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth, then partial dentures may be a great solution for you. A removable partial denture is used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. Made of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, partials help restore better functionality to the mouth. Similar to complete dentures, it is possible to have more permanent option cemented into place. The benefits of partial dentures include restored functionality (such as improved chewing, speech, and oral function) as well as enhanced aesthetics. Partial dentures are crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile. They also prevent remaining natural teeth from shifting, helping them maintain proper alignment.
The primary difference lies in how many natural teeth remain in your mouth. Complete dentures are designed for patients who have lost all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They are a removable solution that rests on the gums to restore your full smile, chewing ability, and speech patterns. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are an excellent option if you still have healthy natural teeth remaining. These appliances consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base and often clip onto your existing teeth. Partial dentures not only fill the gaps in your smile but also play a crucial role in preventing your remaining natural teeth from shifting out of alignment. At Aimee Chisik Dental in Huntington Woods, MI, we offer both options as part of our holistic approach to restoring oral function and aesthetics.
At Aimee Chisik Dental, the process for receiving custom dentures is thorough and personalized to ensure the best fit and appearance. It begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment of your oral health by Dr. Aimee Chisik. Once we determine the most suitable type of denture for your needs, we take precise impressions and measurements of your mouth. Before the final product is made, we often create a prototype for a trial fitting. This allows us to check the fit, comfort, and aesthetic appearance, ensuring your new smile looks natural. After any necessary adjustments are made during your final fitting, you will receive your completed dentures. Our team will also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your continued comfort and satisfaction as you adjust to your new smile.

Proper care is essential to extend the life of your dentures and maintain good oral hygiene. Just like natural teeth, dentures should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque, though you should use a brush and cleaner specifically designed for dentures to avoid scratching them. It is also important to soak them when they are not being worn to keep them moist and maintain their shape. During your appointments at our Huntington Woods office, our knowledgeable team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to handle and clean your specific appliance. Additionally, regular check-ups with Dr. Chisik are vital so we can monitor the fit of your dentures and the health of your gums. Over time, mouth contours can change, and we may need to make minor adjustments to ensure they continue to fit comfortably.
"I am so happy and relieved after my cleaning and exam with Dr. Chisik. The cleaning was gentle. The hygienist was excellent. Their office has all the latest tech and they walked me through any trouble spots found and how we should and will address them.

Thank you to Dr. Chisik and your amazing team!"
