Replacement Teeth
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
- A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dental examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

I went to the dentist for my denture problem today. I saw Vada. She took very good care of me. She did a soft reline on my dentures. It worked very well. I left them with a smile on my face. The whole team is great

Patient Review By Lindsey D
The absolute, hands down, 100%, BEST place to go for Dentures or Implants!!! From the initial phone and consultation, all the way until I walked out with a new smile, EVERY person that I came in contact with was amazing!! All so helpful, so nice, and understanding. They explained my best options after finding out what was most important to me. Every visit went smooth, they took their time to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the process. I wish I would have came here years ago. This is the place to go, I promise!! They gave me my self-confidence back and I couldn't be happier!!

Excellence was witnessed from start to follow-up care. Did I mention that I was allowed to be in the room with my mom for every visit and phase of services to complete her dentures. I selected the Elite Dentures and was very impressed with the customization processes to ensure the best fit and comfort. My mom and I are very pleased with her new dentures and the excellent services the Jernigan Team provides. They receive our highest recommendation!

Patient Review By Teresa W
I am the biggest coward there is when going to the dentist. These people make you feel at ease and they spoke to you with kindness, because they know people don't just go to the dentist because they really love to, right? It was really pleasant and I felt relaxed. I had a partial made and it gave me back my smile! It's so realistic, that every time I walk by a mirror, I'm not just grinning, I'm smiling! They need to put a 10 star rating on here, because that's what they deserve! Thank you so much, Jordan, Tonya and Dr. Joc!! And they just called to check on me, that's awesome!!

Patient Review By Cynthia P
When I was little had a very bad experience at the dentist office so, the only time I go to the dentist was I had to. I had to have seven teeth pulled to obtain upper dentures. I honestly wanted to be put to sleep but this doctor reassured me it would be ok. The day came to pull the teeth I can say God was leading this doctor's hands. This dentist was awesome in keeping my anxiety down and he had the teeth out within minutes and his compassion and caring was out of this world. Thanks so much for giving me a new smile and the confidence to smile.

Patient Review By Frank J
I have trusted my dental care needs to DENTURE CARE AND IMPLANT SOLUTIONS for a number of years now. Each visit has been one of complete satisfaction... I'm made to feel comfortable and welcome, (without pretense), by every Staff Member at each phase of the treatment process, start to finish. They provide a high level of professional quality service in a very pleasant atmosphere. I'ts been my good fortune to have Ms. Vada, ( Dental Assistant ), help guide me through treatment on a few visits, as she's excellent in her capacity and I find the same to be true among all Staffers here. The Drs. Jernigan are true experts, genuinely concerned about their patients and I will continue seeking their help whenever I have need. "THANKS DENTURE CARE AND IMPLANT SOLUTIONS : 5STAR TEAM TOP TO BOTTOM"
