Dentures in Plano TX

A denture, or complete denture as it’s often called, is an appliance inserted in the mouth to replace natural teeth and provide essential support for the cheeks and lips. At Softtouch Dental and Implant Center in Plano, Dr. Salman Lakhani, a trusted Prosthodontist and denture specialist, offers expertly crafted dentures to restore both function and appearance.

Types of Dentures

Most dentures are made of high-quality acrylic and can be fabricated in two primary ways:

For upper teeth, dentures typically include acrylic — usually flesh-colored — that covers the palate (roof of the mouth). Lower dentures are shaped like a horseshoe to comfortably accommodate the tongue.

Maintaining Your Dentures & Oral Health

Over time, dentures naturally wear down and may need to be replaced or relined to maintain proper jaw alignment. The shape of the mouth continues to change as the bone and gum ridges slowly recede following tooth loss, which is why periodic adjustments are essential.

Even for denture wearers, regular dental examinations with Dr. Lakhani remain important to monitor the health of your oral tissues and check for any signs of disease or change.
