About Dentures in Washington, DC
Full or partial dentures may be a great option if you want to replace several lost teeth. Traditional removable dentures can restore the appearance of your smile and help you speak and eat confidently. MINT dentistry’s team of board-certified dentists can provide either partial or full traditional removable dentures to help you get a natural-looking smile. Full dentures can replace all the teeth in your bottom and top arches. Partial dentures may be ideal when several teeth are missing and the remaining natural teeth are able to provide support.

Are Dentures Right for Me?
Traditional dentures may be an option if you are missing the majority of your teeth, but your jaw is still strong and your gums are healthy. If you still have some of your natural teeth, you may qualify for a partial denture. During your consultation at our Washington, DC practice, a member of the MINT dentistry team will assess your oral health and discuss your options to match your needs, goals, and budget. If you have suffered the loss of several teeth, schedule a consultation to start your smile transformation with dentures.
What Is the Denture Process?
We begin every procedure at MINT dentistry by helping you settle comfortably into one of our luxurious treatment chairs in a well-equipped treatment room. We'll offer you a pair of Beats headphones so you can listen to music or watch a show on one of our flat-screen televisions. Once you've put on MINT dentistry sunglasses, the process will begin. When applicable, a member of our team may extract teeth and then take the digital x-rays and impressions that will be used to make your dentures. If you are getting partial dentures, they will be matched to the shade of your remaining teeth for an attractive appearance. After your dentures are crafted in a professional dental laboratory, your dentist will adjust the fit so they feel comfortable and secure. Our team will then go over how to care for your dentures and mouth.
How to Care for Your Dentures
It may take some time before your dentures feel comfortable, but it should be easier to eat and speak normally. If your dentures feel loose, speak to your restoration team and schedule an appointment to have your dentures adjusted. You will need to keep your dentures clean by brushing them twice a day. When you take out your dentures, they should be soaked in water so they don't dry out. Continue to schedule regular cleaning appointments and exams at MINT dentistry in Washington, DC so we can watch the wear and fit of your dentures plus the health of your jaw and gums. We will tell you if your dentures need to be repaired or replaced; however, with optimal care, your dentures should last for many years.
