Dentures, Wyoming

What Are Dentures?

If you have lost several, or all, of your teeth due to bone loss, extensive decay, or trauma, our Wyoming dentists can help bring back your functionality and ability to chew. Dentures are a common replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as you please.

There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are used when all of a patient’s natural teeth are removed from the mouth and replaced with a full set of dentures. Partial dentures are an option when several, but not all, of your teeth need to be removed. A partial denture can be made to replace front teeth, back teeth, or a mix of both. During your visit, our expert Wyoming denture dentists can help find the best solution for you.

Process for Getting Dentures

Chances are, someone you know has dentures. Not everyone you meet is satisfied with their dentures, but at Espire Dental, we are dedicated to making sure your dentures are a perfect fit with minimal pain and soreness.

For patients who need a full set of dentures, there are two primary types:
Conventional Full Dentures: All of the teeth are removed, and the tissue is given time to heal before the dentures are placed. It could take a few months for the gum tissue to heal completely, and during this time you will be without teeth.
Immediate Full Dentures – Prior to having your teeth removed, your dentist takes measurements and has dentures fitted for your mouth. After removing the teeth, the dentures are immediately placed in your mouth. The benefit is that you do not have to spend any time without teeth. You will, however, need to have a follow up visit to refit your dentures because the jawbone will slightly change shape as your mouth heals.

Caring for Your Dentures

Even though dentures are not real teeth, you should care for them like they are. It is important to brush them to remove plaque and food particles. After removing your dentures, you should place them directly into room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution. Never use hot water because it could warp the dentures.

Your dentures are delicate, so make sure you are careful when handling them, so you don’t drop them. Also, never try to adjust your dentures yourself. You could ruin them, so you should always seek assistance from our team if they feel uncomfortable or loose.

Appointment scheduling was quick and painless. Received a call for intake questions prior to first appointment so that all the paperwork was done. We showed up a little early to our appointment and they got us in early. My son had broken his teeth, so they did everything they could to fix them on that initial appointment. Told my son what they were doing every step of the way and when he was uncomfortable they did what they could to distract him. Staff we’re friendly and welcoming and treated us like family. Highly recommend!

I just moved here this week and experienced a horrible toothache! The staff was so kind and accommodating for me to get right in! We he dentist was awesome, explained his assessment and even gave me antibiotics for the infection. The staff welcomed not only myself but my service dog, who loved playing with the staff before we left. Probably the nicest dentist and staff that I have ever met!

Natalie is an amazing hygienist! We always have fun and makes me laugh! And she genuinely cares about the progress and health of what’s going on in my mouth! They also take care of both my kids and make things quick and easy and thanks for the sheep video 😂! I can only speak great things about her and Espire Dental!

Espire Dental came highly recommended to me by my daughter, and I am glad I listened to her. Very professional but not coldly clinical. Instead, I was greeted with a warm Wyoming welcome by each staff member I dealt with. Thank you all at Espire Dental.

I have a bit of anxiety when going to the dentist, however, the staff at Espire are so friendly and welcoming, this was the most pleasant dentist appointment I’ve ever had!! Carol at the front desk was so friendly, and Natalie the hygienist, along with Dr Tolley being so informative and explaining everything very thoroughly! I learned so much more about my dental health with Natalie & Dr Tolley than I ever have at previous dental offices. Thank you Espire & staff for such a positive experience!
