Dentures in Tomball, TX
Dentures are an excellent option for people missing most or all of their natural teeth, whether from injury or declining oral health. They replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, talk, and smile confidently. They support facial structure, preventing the sunken look caused by tooth loss. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever, improving overall quality of life. They’re also removable, making them easy to clean and maintain for long-term oral health.
Dentures are secured to a gum-colored base, and can be secured with or without dental implants. It’s best to schedule a consultation so we can discuss all available options and determine the best solution for your needs.

How do I clean dentures?
To best clean dentures, remove and rinse them after eating to eliminate food particles. Brush daily using a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleanser—never regular toothpaste, which can scratch surfaces. Soak dentures overnight in a dentist-recommended solution to keep them moist and maintain shape. Rinse thoroughly before placing them back in your mouth.
Clean your gums, tongue, and remaining teeth daily to prevent bacteria buildup. Handle dentures carefully to avoid damage, and visit your dentist regularly to check fit and overall oral health for continued comfort and functionality.

What are full dentures?
Full dentures are removable restorative devices designed to replicate all teeth in the upper or lower jaw—or both. They are comprised of a gum-colored acrylic base with a full set of artificial teeth, custom-made to fit comfortably and match your natural appearance. Full dentures are ideal for patients who’ve lost their teeth because of decay, gum disease, or injury. They renew the ability to chew and speak clearly, support facial muscles, and enhance smile aesthetics. Regular adjustments and good oral hygiene ensure a comfortable, functional, and long-lasting fit.
Dentures can also be secured with dental implants placed in the jaw and connected under the denture’s base. Implant-retained dentures are designed to create permanent fixation of the denture or to allow for its removal at times. In addition to having greater retention and a more natural look, implant-supported dentures tend to last longer. We can discuss these options and help you understand what would be best.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth in patients with some natural teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base, often supported by a metal framework that clasps onto existing teeth for stability. Partial dentures help renew proper chewing and speech, maintain natural facial structure, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting incorrectly.
They are custom-made for a comfortable fit and can be easily taken out for cleaning and maintenance, offering a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
