Restore Your Smile with Custom Dentures
If you’re missing several or all of your teeth, dentures offer a time-tested way to get your smile and chewing function back. At Horsham Dental Care, we design natural-looking, comfortable dentures that fit your lifestyle. Dr. Aarti Lala and Dr. Rinta Mathews take pride in crafting dentures that allow our patients to speak, eat, and smile with confidence again. From initial impressions to final adjustments, we involve you in the process to ensure your new teeth feel just right. Our office provides both full dentures for replacing a whole arch of teeth and partial dentures for filling in gaps when some natural teeth remain. Patients from Horsham and surrounding areas like Willow Grove and Ambler trust us for high-quality denture solutions delivered with a personal, caring touch.
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth made to resemble your natural teeth and gum tissue. Depending on your needs, we offer:
Both full and partial dentures at our Horsham office are custom-made to fit your mouth. We take detailed impressions and measurements to ensure your denture is snug yet comfortable. You’ll be able to choose the shade and shape of teeth, so your new smile looks like you. Dr. Mathews might even ask you to bring old photographs of your smile, if available, to help recreate your natural look!
Getting dentures typically involves a few appointments, and we make the journey smooth and enjoyable:
Comprehensive Evaluation: We start with a thorough exam of your gums, any remaining teeth, and bone structure. Dr. Lala will discuss your goals and explain whether full or partial dentures (or alternatives like implants) suit you best. If you need any extractions of compromised teeth before getting a denture, we can perform those with gentle care (and sedation options if desired). We’ll make sure your mouth is healthy and ready.
Custom Impressions & Measurements: Next, we take impressions of your gums and any teeth using precise dental molds or a digital scanner. We also record your bite and the alignment between your jaws. These measurements are critical for a well-fitting denture. We consider details like how your lips and cheeks will be supported. Our team works closely with a high-quality dental lab to fabricate your denture base and select the right size, shape, and color of teeth.
Try-In and Adjustments: Before the final denture is made, you’ll have a “wax try-in.” This is a preliminary version of your denture with the teeth set in wax. You’ll get to preview how your new smile will look and we can assess the fit. This step allows adjustments to tooth positioning or bite alignment before the denture is finalized. We encourage your feedback – want the front teeth a tad shorter or a shade whiter? This is the time to speak up! Our goal is that you love the appearance.
Delivery of Your Denture: Once everything looks perfect, the lab will process your final denture and we’ll seat it in your mouth. Dr. Mathews will check for pressure points and ensure you can remove and insert it smoothly. We’ll review denture care instructions (how to clean it, how to store it at night, etc.). Expect a period of adjustment as you get used to speaking and eating with dentures – this is normal! We schedule a follow-up a week or two later to make any necessary tweaks for comfort.
For patients seeking extra stability, implant-supported dentures are a fantastic option. As mentioned on our Implants page, we can place a few dental implants that your denture will attach to. This converts a loose denture into a snap-in prosthesis – no more fear of slipping or using messy adhesives. You get the easy removability of a denture with added security during chewing and speaking. Many Horsham Dental Care patients find that implant dentures greatly improve their confidence and quality of life. If you’ve struggled with conventional dentures, ask Dr. Lala about upgrading to an implant-retained solution. We’re happy to evaluate whether your jawbone is a candidate for implants and create a plan just for you.
Proper care will keep your new smile looking and feeling great:
Our team is always available if your denture feels uncomfortable or if you have questions about care. We want you to enjoy a pain-free experience with your new teeth. With good maintenance, dentures can last many years before needing replacement.
Choosing dentures is a big decision, and we’re here to support you. Both Dr. Mathews and Dr. Lala have guided many patients in Horsham through the transition to dentures. We understand it can be an emotional process – losing teeth and adapting to appliances – but you’re not alone. Our doctors are patient, understanding, and skilled in prosthetic dentistry. We take the time to ensure you are comfortable with the fit and look of your dentures. If you’re nervous about the process, we even offer mild sedation during extraction or lengthy appointments to ease any anxiety.
We treat our denture patients like family – whether you need an extra adjustment appointment or just some encouragement while learning to speak clearly with dentures, we’ve got your back. Your well-being and satisfaction are our top priorities.
