The Amber Arch Difference: Technology Meets Comfort
Dr. Phillips uses advanced digital technology to make the process of getting dentures more accurate, comfortable, and efficient than ever.
-
- Intraoral Scanning: Forget traditional molds. Our digital scanning technology creates precise 3D images of your mouth without the mess or discomfort of impressions.
-
- CBCT 3D Imaging: This advanced imaging shows the bone structure and soft tissues beneath the surface, allowing Dr. Phillips to design a dentures plan that matches your facial anatomy for a more natural look and fit.
-
- 3D Printing: We use 3D printing technology to create models and try-in prototypes, ensuring your final dentures fit perfectly before they’re completed. This digital workflow also speeds up turnaround time and increases precision.
The result is a pair of dentures that not only look beautiful but also function seamlessly and comfortably from the start.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Complete Dentures
Designed for patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower arch, complete dentures restore an entire smile with a natural, balanced look. Dr. Phillips ensures the fit supports your facial structure and allows for comfortable speaking and chewing.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some natural teeth, a partial denture may be the best solution. It uses precision clasps or attachments to fill in the gaps and keep your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For maximum stability, Dr. Phillips offers implant-retained dentures that snap securely into place. These dentures combine the strength of implants with the coverage of a full arch prosthesis, eliminating slipping and the need for adhesives.
Immediate Dentures
Placed on the same day as extractions, immediate dentures allow you to leave our office with a complete smile while your mouth heals. Once healing is complete, a final set is crafted for optimal fit and comfort.
Our Denture Process
-
- Consultation & Planning – We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and facial structure using 3D scans and digital imaging. Dr. Phillips takes time to understand your goals and preferences, from shade selection to tooth shape and bite alignment.
-
- Digital Design & 3D Preview – Using digital software and 3D printing, we create a mock-up of your new smile for you to see before fabrication. You can review and adjust details like shade, length, and contour.
-
- Fabrication & Fitting – Your custom dentures are crafted from high-quality acrylic and composite materials for realistic texture and color. We ensure a secure, comfortable fit through precision measurements and bite testing.
-
- Adjustments & Follow-Up – Once your dentures are delivered, we make any necessary adjustments for comfort and function. Follow-up visits help fine-tune your bite and ensure your long-term satisfaction.
Adjusting to New Dentures
It’s normal to need a short adjustment period as your mouth and muscles adapt. You may notice minor changes in speech or chewing for a few days, but this quickly improves as you get used to your new restoration. Our team is always available to answer questions and make refinements if needed.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care keeps your dentures comfortable and your mouth healthy:
-
- Remove and rinse after meals to clear food debris.
-
- Brush daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser.
-
- Soak overnight in a denture solution to keep them moist and sanitary.
-
- Clean your gums, tongue, and palate daily to prevent irritation.
-
- Schedule regular dental checkups to maintain fit and oral health.
If your dentures ever feel loose or cause discomfort, contact us for an adjustment or reline – never try to modify them yourself.
Implant-Supported vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional Dentures sit on top of the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesive. They’re a cost-effective option that can restore smiles quickly.
Implant-Supported Dentures are anchored directly to dental implants, providing a secure, stable fit and preventing bone loss. They look and function more like natural teeth and offer greater confidence when eating or speaking.
Dr. Phillips will review your options and help you choose the solution that best fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
Rediscover Confidence and Comfort
At Amber Arch Dental, we take pride in restoring smiles with dentures that fit as well as they look. Dr. Phillips’s blend of advanced technology and personalized care ensures you receive a restoration that’s comfortable, functional, and crafted to last.
