The picturesque town of Lyons, Colorado, is home to Redstone Dental Studio, where Dr. Derrik Johnson and his team provide comprehensive dental solutions, including dentures. Dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. They come in two types: full dentures, which replace all teeth, and partial dentures, used when some natural teeth remain. Dentures can dramatically improve your quality of life, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Why Should I Get Dentures?
If you've lost some or all of your teeth, whether due to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury, dentures can be a game-changer. They not only restore your smile and facial structure but also improve your ability to chew and speak properly. Without support from teeth or dentures, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. Dentures can help fill out your appearance. Moreover, they are made to closely resemble your natural teeth, so there's little visual difference.

The Benefits Of Dentures
Dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the sagging of facial muscles, which can make a person appear older. With dentures, you can maintain your face's natural shape and smile with confidence.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain words correctly. Dentures can help improve your speech by replacing missing teeth. Similarly, eating can be a challenge with missing teeth. Dentures restore chewing functionality, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
Modern dentures are durable and can last many years with proper care. They are also removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. Plus, if ever damaged, dentures can be easily repaired or replaced.
The Dentures Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
The first step towards getting dentures involves a thorough dental examination. Our Lyons dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs and preferences. This step may also involve taking impressions of your mouth to ensure the dentures fit perfectly.
Denture Fabrication
The impressions of your mouth are sent to a dental lab, where your custom dentures are crafted. This process ensures that your dentures will fit comfortably and look natural. Dr. Johnson works closely with the lab to ensure the dentures meet his high standards for quality and aesthetics.
Fitting and Adjustment
Once your dentures are ready, you'll return to Redstone Dental Studio for a fitting. Dr. Johnson will adjust the dentures as needed to ensure a comfortable fit. He will also provide instructions on how to care for your dentures to ensure their longevity.
