Lincoln Dentures

If you are dealing with full or partial tooth loss, Antelope Creek Family Dentistry offers several tooth replacement options we can customize to your needs, desires, and preferences. Dentures are among the most popular choices at our Lincoln, NE, dental office because they are affordable and work well for most people.

Types of Dentures We Offer

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either the upper, lower, or both arches. They rest on the gums and are a natural-looking tooth replacement if you have lost all your teeth in one or both arches.

We typically use an acrylic resin base to support the denture teeth and mimic the appearance of natural gum tissue. A custom dental lab custom crafts the denture teeth from acrylic or porcelain and attaches them to the base so you can chew, eat, and speak. 

Partial Dentures

We design partial dentures to fill gaps in the tooth line, customizing them to fit in with existing teeth for support. The framework for partials is made of metal or acrylic for structural support and holds the denture teeth in place. Our dentists may use metal clasps, attachments, or crowns to keep partials in place. Depending on your chosen type, partial dentures may or may not be removable.

Implant-Supported Dentures

As the name implies, this type of denture is held in place by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. They provide the ultimate stability if you want a more secure, reliable option than removable dentures.

When choosing Antelope Creek Family Dentistry for your dentures, you choose decades of experience and dedication. As you move through the process, you can expect our dentists to take the following steps: 

• Evaluate your oral health and discuss your expectations
• Explain your denture options and details like tooth shape, size, and color
• Remove remaining teeth if necessary 
• Take detailed impressions and bite registration for a precise denture fit
• Provide a wax try-in, which is a mock-up of your dentures, and adjust it for fit, comfort, and aesthetics. 
• Work with a custom dental lab that fabricates your final dentures to our specifications 
• Deliver your final dentures, fit them in your mouth, and adjust them for comfort and function 
• Schedule regular checkups to monitor fit and function, with adjustments as needed. 

Our dentists surgically place several implants at precise points along your jawbone. We leave the implants to heal for several months as they integrate with bone and tissue. Next, we attach an abutment to the implant that securely holds your denture. The final step is fitting your custom dentures onto the abutment.
