Dentures

Sometimes, your natural teeth can become harmful to the health of your smile, making extraction a necessary step in keeping your mouth safe. If you have received a diagnosis that requires the extraction of some or all of your teeth, talk to a trusted dentist about your options in prosthodontic repair.

If you have lost part of your smile, take some time to speak with a dentist about the possibility of a denture solution. These are prosthetics that take the place of your natural teeth after they have been lost, and they are custom crafted to suit your dental needs. Give your local Grand Prairie, TX dentist a call at (972) 264-5795 to discuss your prosthodontic possibilities, including a beautiful new denture solution that looks natural!

Denture Technology Is Better Than Ever

When you think about dentures, you might envision messy adhesives and a failing connection. But the technology behind full and partial dentures has come a long way in the past few decades, allowing for a more secure connection. In fact, one of the most sought-after procedures in this country right now is the placement of an implant-retained denture solution. Talk to our team to learn more about the exciting new developments in denture technology.

Partial Dentures Help When A Bridge Is Unsuitable

Not everyone has the same experience when losing their teeth. For some patients, partial tooth loss can occur due to injury or decay. If this sounds like you, we have a solution for areas where the loss is too extensive for an appliance-based form of repair such as a dental bridge. Speak with Dr. Maxey about the possibility of a partial denture to help close that gap.

Talk to Dr. Maxey about whether a new set of implant-retained dentures could help you to maintain a strong bite and have an improved appearance.
