Discover What Dentures Can Do For Your Smile
Your smile is important, and we’re sure that if you are choosing dentures to restore it, you want the best result you can get. Since Dr. Pate is one of the few dentists in the United States trained by the Swiss School of Prosthetics, she has training that allows for Complete Dentures that are made with the highest quality teeth and look completely natural.
The unique techniques she uses and the time she takes to perfect your new smile ensure that you’ll receive beautiful results with excellent functionality without needing many adjustments for a comfortable fit. If you’re curious about whether you’re a good candidate for our dentures in Bentonville, you can call us for a complimentary consultation to discuss your smile wants.
Your Smile is Our Passion
We understand that losing your natural teeth can be a challenging experience, often one that you have no experience navigating. That’s why Dr. Pate and her team approach each situation with care, compassion, and a commitment to restoration. We offer a variety of denture options that can be tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer more than just a cosmetic solution–they are a comprehensive tool for the restoration of your oral health!
- Fill out the appearance of your face and profile to prevent facial sagging.
- Enjoy all types of food again and benefit from a balanced diet.
- Speak more clearly and enhance your communication ability.
- Restore your self-confidence and smile without hesitation.
Full Dentures vs. Partial Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are recommended when all of your natural teeth are missing, either on the upper or lower jaw or both. They consist of a full set of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base that fits over your own gums.
Partial dentures, on the other hand, are an alternative if you still have some natural teeth remaining. Since we always want to preserve your natural teeth, these dentures let us help you do that whilst still giving you a full smile by filling in the gaps with artificial teeth mounted on a metal framework. This framework is attached to your natural teeth with precision attachments or clasps to give you a secure and comfortable fit.
The choice between full and partial dentures depends on your individual needs and the health of your remaining teeth. When you visit us for restoration, Dr. Pate will guide you through the process to help you choose the best solution for your needs, taking into account your oral health, comfort, functionality, and aesthetic preferences.
What To Expect During Your Restoration
Dr. Pate is committed to giving you the best dental care, no matter your procedure. When you visit us, you can expect a personalized experience tailored to your needs and concerns. Dr. Pate always takes the time to educate her patients and will do the same with you to ensure you understand the procedure and feel it addresses your concerns and goals. From your first appointment to your last denture fitting, you can expect to be guided with care by Dr. Pate!
Caring For Your Dentures
Maintaining your dentures is crucial for your oral health and to ensure the longevity of your restoration. Much like natural teeth, dentures require daily cleaning to remove food particles and prevent plaque build-up. This also helps to keep your dentures looking their best. We also strongly recommend scheduling routine check-ups with Dr. Pate so she can inspect your dentures for any signs of wear or damage. This also lets us give your teeth a professional cleaning to remove stubborn stains.
