Overview
Houston, TX Founding and Accredited Member of the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry), Dr. Guy Lewis, can craft dentures of all types for patients of all age ranges. When you are considering dentures, remember that a good cosmetic dentist will give your face a more youthful look by elongating your smile and restoring the natural proportions of your face. Missing some or all your teeth can limit chewing and speaking, as well as make you feel self-conscious when it comes to smiling or showing your teeth. At the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we can create traditional removable dentures, but we prefer to create fixed implant-supported dentures (All-On-4®) to restore a patient's teeth. We can discuss which option is best for you at a consultation our office. We want to help you get your smile back as easy as we possibly can. Call today.

Treatment
The dentist and patient will decide in the initial consultation what kind of dentures will best fit the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. Partial dentures are for patients who are missing some, but not all of their teeth. These can be made to be either removable or as a permanent bridge. A permanent bridge will include crowns that will be fitted onto the patient’s remaining teeth. Complete dentures are best for patients who have lost all of their teeth. Complete dentures are typically made and fitted 8 - 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. Patients can consider this a permanent solution to maintaining a beautiful smile.
