Dentures in Rocky Mount, NC
What is a Denture?
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.
Type of Dentures
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated in 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.

Patient Review By Donna E
One thing I would suggest is to explain the warrantee better. Instead of saying a two year breakage warrantee and a three year normal use warrantee. Would be simpler and easier to understand if worded...Two year breakage warrantee even if dropped and third year breakage warrantee while using as directed. Doesn't cover drop breakage. The way it is written sounds as if you only get a 2 year warrantee. The third year warrantee isn't clear as it is now written. Another thing is explain on the web site that paper x-rays aren't accepted. If I knew this I would have had my doctor e-mail his computer images to you if I had your e-mail address. I asked him for copies of my x-ray and his secretary printed them out from the computer. Hence bring x-rays to save money redoing them was a waist of time.
