With proper care, dentures provide you with a beautiful, comfortable substitute for natural teeth. We are here to help restore health and confidence to your smile.

We believe dental services should be accessible to everyone. Our team works with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that offer precise estimates and expectations. To accommodate everyone’s budget needs, we accept a range of third-party financing.

Our practice is always welcoming new patients from across the Amarillo, TX, area. During your first appointment, we will perform a comprehensive exam, take x-rays, and establish a treatment plan. We will also discuss treatment options.

For most patients, it is recommended to replace their dentures as often as every five years. This is primarily because the gums and ridges in your mouth change as you age.

When you first get your dentures, your speech may sound a bit different. Once your lips, cheeks, and tongue adjust to your dentures, your speech will return to normal. A great exercise to help you get your normal speech back is reading out loud to yourself. It is important to speak slowly to prevent muffled speech. If you experience prolonged issues, your dentures may need further adjustment.

If you place your dentures in boiling water, it can cause them to warp. It is best to always rinse and store your dentures in cold or lukewarm water.

Brushes with rigid bristles and abrasive toothpaste can dull your dentures and cause premature wear. The best way to clean your dentures is to use a denture brush with soft bristles and a non-abrasive denture cleaner each day.

The adjustment time may be a week or longer. In the beginning, your dentures may seem too big and you may notice an increase in saliva. This is entirely normal! Your facial muscles and oral tissues need time to adapt. Once they do, your dentures should feel very comfortable.

As your facial muscles and tissues adjust to your dentures, the dentures may feel loose. If your dentures slop, you can reposition them by biting down and swallowing.

Chewing with dentures requires you to bite and chew differently. It is best to start with smaller portions of food, and by eating slowly. It is important to chew on both sides of your mouth, and it is easier to start with softer foods. This will help build your confidence with your dentures! We recommend waiting to eat sticky to hard foods in the beginning.

It varies from patient to patient. We are happy to discuss what will work for you!
