How are Dentures Made?

First, Dr. Matha will examine your gums and remaining teeth to determine what type of denture is most ideal for your needs. A mold will be taken of your teeth and gums to enable a dental lab to create your dentures. Typically, Dr. Matha will create several molds or impressions so he can effectively assess how your jaw functions and moves. Using these impressions, the lab will make a set of dentures that looks natural and fits perfectly. If necessary, adjustments can be made during your first fitting and subsequent appointments.

What can I eat after dentures?

After getting dentures, opt for soft, easy-to-chew foods initially, such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and steamed vegetables. Avoid hard, sticky, or tough foods that could dislodge or damage your dentures. As you adjust, gradually reintroduce a wider variety of foods, including lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, cutting them into small, manageable pieces. Remember to chew slowly and evenly to prevent discomfort or displacement of your dentures.

When should I get full dentures instead of partial dentures?

Full dentures are recommended when most or all of your natural teeth are missing or need to be removed due to extensive damage or decay. They provide comprehensive coverage and support for chewing, speaking, and facial aesthetics. On the other hand, partial dentures are suitable when you have some remaining natural teeth. They fill in gaps and prevent shifting. Your dentist at Tamarack Hills Family Dentistry will assess your oral health and recommend the most appropriate option for your specific needs between full and partial dentures.

Do partials look natural?

Partial dentures can indeed look natural when properly crafted and fitted by skilled dental professionals. Advanced materials and techniques allow for partials to blend seamlessly with existing teeth, matching color, shape, and texture. With careful attention to detail and customization, partial dentures can restore your smile with confidence, enhancing both appearance and functionality. Trusting experienced dentists ensures that your partial dentures harmonize naturally with your unique dental aesthetics.

How long do partials last?

Partial dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years with proper care. However, their lifespan can vary depending on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle, and the quality of materials used. Regular cleaning, avoiding hard foods, and scheduling routine check-ups with your dentist can help extend the longevity of partials. Over time, changes in jawbone structure may necessitate adjustments or replacement to maintain comfort and effectiveness.

How often should you visit the dentist with dentures?

For individuals with dentures, regular dental visits remain crucial for maintaining oral health. It's generally recommended to schedule check-ups every six months. During these appointments, dentists assess the condition of your dentures, check for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure they fit properly. Additionally, routine examinations allow for early detection of any underlying oral health issues, promoting overall well-being and longevity of your dentures.

Smile Makeover

Schedule Now

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and it says more than words ever could. At Tamarack Hills Family Dentistry in Woodbury, MN, Dr. Avi Matha and his expert team offer a customized Smile Makeover experience that blends artistry with technology to reveal your most confident, radiant smile.

A smile makeover is more than cosmetic; it’s a complete transformation that enhances aesthetics, improves oral health, and restores balance to your facial harmony. Whether your concerns include chipped teeth, dull enamel, or misalignment, our advanced solutions can craft the perfect version of your smile, tailored specifically to you.

What Is a Smile Makeover?

A Smile Makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan combining multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures designed to rejuvenate your teeth and overall facial appearance. Rather than relying on a single procedure, Dr. Matha curates a strategic blend of techniques to address all aspects of your smile.

This may include:

Teeth Whitening to eliminate stains and restore natural brilliance
Porcelain Veneers for reshaping and masking imperfections
Dental Crowns & Bridges for structural restoration
Dental Implants for replacing missing teeth
Cosmetic Bonding for seamless repairs
Orthodontic solutions, such as Invisalign,® to straighten teeth comfortably

Each smile makeover begins with a detailed consultation and digital smile design session. We take photographs, 3D scans, and measurements to understand your facial structure and dental anatomy, designing a result that feels natural and confident.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A smile makeover is ideal for anyone looking to improve the appearance, function, and confidence of their smile. You may be a good candidate if you:

Have chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth that affect your smile’s symmetry.
Notice discoloration or stubborn stains that teeth whitening alone cannot fix.
Experience mild to moderate misalignment or gaps between teeth.
Suffer from missing teeth and want a complete, natural-looking restoration.
Feel self-conscious about your smile and desire a customized aesthetic transformation.
Maintain healthy gums and a commitment to good oral hygiene.

During your consultation, Dr. Matha will evaluate your oral health and aesthetic expectations to confirm your suitability and design a plan tailored to lasting results.

Benefits of a Smile Makeover

Treatments Included in a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is not a single procedure but a combination of customized treatments designed to achieve balance, beauty, and function. Your personalized plan may include:

Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening removes years of discoloration and deep stains caused by food, drinks, or aging. This quick, non-invasive treatment brightens enamel, enhances confidence, and restores a youthful radiance to your smile with safe, lasting results.
Porcelain Veneers: Custom-crafted porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct imperfections like chips, gaps, discoloration, and uneven shapes. They provide a natural, stain-resistant finish that instantly transforms your smile’s aesthetics.
Dental Crowns: Dental crowns protect, strengthen, and restore teeth compromised by decay, damage, or large fillings. Designed to mimic natural enamel, crowns enhance both appearance and function, ensuring long-term durability and a perfectly aligned, confident smile.
Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin materials to repair chips, close gaps, or reshape irregular teeth. This minimally invasive procedure blends seamlessly with your natural enamel, providing quick, affordable improvements that enhance your smile’s symmetry and beauty.
Dental Implants: Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Surgically placed titanium posts replace tooth roots, preserving jawbone integrity while supporting crowns or bridges for improved chewing function, stability, and a fully restored, confident smile.
Bridges and Inlays/Onlays: Dental bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, while inlays and onlays restore damaged portions of a tooth. These restorations improve bite strength, protect enamel, and maintain a uniform, balanced, and functional smile.
Invisalign or Orthodontic Treatments: Invisalign and modern orthodontic treatments gently align teeth using clear, removable trays customized for comfort. They discreetly straighten misaligned smiles, correct bite issues, and improve oral health without the need for traditional metal braces.

These treatments can be combined based on your goals, ensuring your final smile is as healthy as it is beautiful.

What to Expect During Your Smile Makeover Journey

Every smile makeover starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Matha and our team will:

Evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals: Dr. Matha thoroughly assesses dental health, listens to your concerns, and aligns treatment goals accordingly.
Take digital scans and images: We capture high-resolution 3D scans to precisely evaluate facial balance, tooth color, and structural harmony.
Design a customized plan using advanced imaging software: Using cutting-edge smile design tools, we create a digital preview tailored to your unique facial and aesthetic features.
Implement your treatment plan in phases for optimal comfort: Procedures are scheduled strategically, ensuring minimal discomfort, faster recovery, and smooth progression through each transformation stage.
Review results and provide aftercare guidance for long-term maintenance: We evaluate final results, offer maintenance plans, and educate you on preserving your new, radiant smile for years.

Your transformation is guided by collaboration between your preferences, our expertise, and advanced technology.
