Do you want to replace missing teeth? Are you thinking about dentures but worry that they will look artificial and unnatural? We understand your concern, but a lot has changed in dentistry! 

At Southside Dental Center in Monticello, MN, our dentists use materials and technology that didn’t exist decades ago to create replacement teeth that complement and enhance your appearance.

Dentures for Every Need

Dentures are prosthetic teeth customized to fit your jaw perfectly so they rest snugly and comfortably on the gums. Every patient’s smile is unique, so no two sets of replacement teeth we create are alike. 

Full Dentures

Full or complete dentures are for those who need to replace all missing teeth in their upper arch, lower arch, or both. The replacement teeth are set in an acrylic base that matches your gum color and supports custom-crafted, natural-looking replacement teeth.

Partial Dentures

We recommend partials for patients missing a few upper or lower teeth. Partials consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic or metal base. We customize partials to fill the gaps in your smile and secure them to adjacent teeth with clasps. 

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you wear removable dentures and are tired of the constant shifting and moving, implant-supported dentures are a great alternative. We place several implants in your jawbone and design replacement teeth to attach to them for ultimate stability and security. Eat your favorite foods and smile confidently without worrying about awkward or embarrassing moments.

When designing your replacement teeth, we allow several appointments to ensure the results exceed your expectations. The first step is a comprehensive exam to help our dentists understand your oral health needs. Next, we take x-rays, measurements, and impressions of your jaws to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.

We'll work closely with you to customize your new teeth to blend perfectly with your skin tone, hair, and eye color. Our dentists also create wax try-in versions to determine the perfect positioning, shape, and fit for your new teeth. When we're satisfied, a custom dental lab creates your final denture. 

When they're ready, you'll return to Southside Dental Center so we can do a final check and deliver your dentures. Over the next several months, we'll schedule appointments to check in with you to ensure your new teeth fit comfortably and adjust them as needed.

If you've been living with the discomfort and embarrassment of full or partial tooth loss, getting dentures can be life-changing. The dentures we create at our Monticello, MN, dental office look natural and fit comfortably, so only you and your dentist will know they’re not natural teeth. 

We would love to discuss our tooth replacement options and help you choose the most appropriate one for your needs. Please call Southside Dental Center at (763) 295-5400 to schedule a complimentary consultation appointment so we can start the process!
