Replace Missing Teeth and Restore Your Smile

Over 40 million Americans wear dentures.Dentures are removable dental appliances crafted to replace missing teeth.

Common misconceptions about dentures

Dentures look fake

  • High quality dentures are custom-made to match the synthetic gum tissue to the shade of your gums
  • Proper measurements ensure the synthetic teeth are the proper height and shape for your mouth and face
  • The teeth are shaded to fit with your skin tone

Dentures stain easily

  • Quality dentures stain less easily than natural teeth. The composite/resin material used in dentures included a sealant designed to hinder issues with staining.

Dentures won’t stay put

  • today’s custom-made dentures are designed to stay in place.

Dentures restrict my diet

  • Properly made and placed dentures allow you to eat almost anything you want.

Dentures will make me look older

  • On the contrary, dentures often make people look younger because they help maintain the jaw, facial muscles, and bite.

Do you need dentures?

If you are experiencing any of the issues listed below, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation at WEDENTAL in Lynnwood, WA.

Loose or shifting teeth

Loose or shifting teeth and widening spaces between your teeth may be a sign of bone loss and periodontal disease. If you have loose teeth, they will need to be removed and dentures will provide a tooth replacement option.

Pain

Severe pain can be a sign that tooth decay is attacking the nerve in the middle of the tooth. Caught early during your regular dental visit, this issue can be fixed with a filling. When decay is advanced, sometimes it must be removed and replaced with a partial denture to maintain proper functioning of your teeth.

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth place an unbearable burden on the remaining teeth. One lost tooth typically leads to more and more lost teeth in the future. In a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in five adults over the age of 65 had all their teeth removed.

Problems Chewing

Difficulties eating hard or chewy food may reveal serious problems below the surface. These issues may be the sign that a tooth or teeth may soon need to be extracted and replaced with dentures.

The Benefits of Wearing Dentures

Renewed Confidence

Dentures restore your smile and your confidence. You can smile freely without worry.

Younger Face

Without teeth, facial muscles begin to sag and impact your appearance, making you look older. Dentures provide the support needed to maintain your facial structure.

Keep Your Bones

When teeth go, so does bone. Dentures decrease the rate at which bones deteriorate.

Speak Clearly

Missing teeth can impact the way you say certain words. Dentures solve that issue.

Open Menu

Modern dentures generally allow you to eat what you want.

Save Money

Dentures not only provide a cost-effective solution to restore your smile, they prevent a myriad of expensive oral health issues over the long-term.

Save Existing Teeth

Missing teeth place a huge burden on remaining teeth, causing them to wear more quickly. Dentures balance the load.

Natural Smile

Because we custom design your dentures to fit your smile, your gum shade, and your skin tone – they look naturally beautiful.

“always a great experience”

Always a great experience with Dr. W and his team. They are always on time. I don't think I've ever waited more than a couple of minutes after arrival. They don't constantly try and up-charge like many other practices do. I've been a patient since he took over the practice and have no plans on changing.
