Types of Dentures at Our Greensboro Location

1. Full Dentures: Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all the natural teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. These dentures consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over the gums and a set of artificial teeth. Full dentures are secured in place by creating a suction effect with the gums or by using denture adhesive.
2. Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are utilized when some natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of a metal framework that attaches to the remaining teeth, with artificial teeth filling the gaps. Partial dentures replace missing teeth and prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of position.
3. Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are placed in the mouth immediately after the extraction of the natural teeth. These dentures are pre-made before the teeth extraction, ensuring that patients don’t have to go without teeth during the healing period. Although immediate dentures offer convenience, adjustments may be necessary as the gums and underlying bone heal and shrink.
4. Overdentures: Overdentures are the removable dental appliance that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or dental implants. By utilizing the support of the remaining teeth or implants, overdentures provide increased stability and help preserve the jawbone.
5. Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures offer the highest level of stability and comfort. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures provide a secure fit, improved chewing efficiency, and enhanced facial aesthetics.

Learning to Care for Dentures

Proper care and maintenance of dentures are essential to ensure their longevity and to promote oral health. Here at our Greensboro office we will give you a crash course on how to properly care for your dentures to make them last. Here are a few important tips that we give patients:

1. Clean dentures daily: Rinse your dentures after meals and brush them with a soft-bristle toothbrush and mild denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
2. Handle with care: When cleaning or removing your dentures, be careful not to drop them, as they can break easily. Hold them over a folded towel or basin of water to avoid damage.
3. Soak dentures overnight: To keep your dentures moist and prevent them from warping, soak them in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper denture care.
4. Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining oral health and ensuring the proper fit and function of your dentures. Your dentist can make adjustments or repairs as needed.

Melissa did a fantastic job of fixing my temporary crown that came loose. She worked like an artist. It doesn't even look like a temporary crown, it looks like it belongs there and the bite is perfect. Thank you again Melissa. Great job!!

My primary care dentist suggested I see a periodontist and I was referred to Dr Davis at Lane & Assoc.(Friendly Ave location). I’ve had two appointments here so far and the experience has been awesome! Everyone is pleasant and helpful. I had a bad dental experience as a child and have a very bad gag reflex. The ladies at L&A took extra time and care taking my X-rays and showed concern for my fears as well as my comfort. Dr Davis performed my procedure quickly and painlessly and I didn’t gag at all! Every detail of my visit was explained to me (even the billing). Although it is a bigger practice than I’m used to, I never felt like just a number. Great place!

I love Lane and Associates Family Dentistry and I recommend it to everyone! The place itself is beautiful unlike most dentist offices, and the staff at the desk are always very nice. Cheyenne was so kind when she took my x rays and went out of her way to make me comfortable. Shannon the hygienist is great and always answers my questions. Dr White is super nice and Chandra was amazing. Everyone is friendly as well as professional. I left feeling happy after my cleaning today. I am so glad I found this practice when I moved here!!

Natisha, Monique, Chandra, Dee, Dr. Mac and Dr White! AMAZING! I had my wisdom teeth removed in office and not put to sleep! I was beyond anxious and scared. The staff supported all of my decisions and made me aware of everything I needed to know. They were gentle, provided a lot of reassurance and patient with me. I can't say thank you enough! I've been going to Lane for about 10 years and will continue as long as they are there! Phenomenal Staff!
