If you’re missing one, several, or most of your teeth in Franklin, TN, partial or full dentures from Dr. Megan Girmscheid may be just what you need to restore your smile. Contact us now to schedule a consultation.
Losing teeth affects your appearance and your self-confidence. It also makes it harder to speak clearly, eat your favorite foods, and live your normal day-to-day life. With a set of partial dentures or full dentures, you can replace your missing teeth. Not only does this restore your smile and your bite, but it helps prevent future oral health complications, too.
Before modern materials, dentures were usually made of wood, animal teeth, elephant or hippopotamus ivory, or even human teeth.

Tooth loss can be embarrassing. But with dentures, you don’t have to hide your smile. Your teeth will look natural when you speak, laugh, smile, and eat around others.
Speaking of eating, both full and partial dentures make it easy to eat your favorite foods, which can be difficult or impossible after tooth loss.
Along with proper chewing, healthy teeth are essential for speech. Losing multiple teeth can make it harder for you to make certain sounds and speak clearly. But with dentures, you’ll be able to speak clearly once again.
To begin the process, you’ll meet with you Dentist in Franklin and discuss your options for replacing your missing teeth. If you choose dentures, it may be necessary to extract one or more of your teeth before you can get treatment.
Once any necessary extractions and other procedures are done, Dr. Girmscheid will take measurements and impressions of your mouth and create a bite model. She will work with a dental lab to create a set of test dentures. You’ll come back to our office, try these on, and see how they feel. This process may be repeated multiple times until we find the ideal fit.
Once your test dentures fit perfectly, Dr. Girmscheid will order your permanent pair. You’ll come back to Dental Haven one last time to try them on, and make sure they look and feel great. Then, Dr. Girmscheid will give you instructions on how to care for your teeth and send you home to enjoy your new smile.
No. Custom-fitted dentures can usually stay on by themselves, since they fit tightly over your gums and are held in place by friction. However, some patients do choose to use denture adhesive for a stronger hold, and to ensure their dentures never shift or move.
