Dentures
Are you considering dentures? Advanced Dentistry at Windhaven is the established provider of dentures in Plano.
Dentures are a safe, comfortable, and convenient option for replacing missing teeth and improving your smile. They can also be more affordable than other restorative dental services.
At Advanced Dentistry at Windhaven, our expert dentists can walk you through the denture/tooth replacement process to ensure you make the best choice for your lifestyle
The advantages of dentures:
- Dentures are replacements for teeth lost to gum disease, decay, or injury.
- They are custom-made from impressions taken of your mouth, so they fit comfortably and look natural.
- Dentures can be taken out and put back into your mouth. Your dentist will work with you to ensure your dentures look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Types of dentures
Traditional dentures are an economical way to replace missing teeth. After your teeth are removed and your gums have healed, usually about 8-12 weeks, traditional dentures are placed in your mouth.
Immediate full dentures, also known as temporary dentures, are inserted immediately after teeth have been removed. While they give you the benefit of not being without teeth, they must be periodically adjusted.
Premium dentures most closely resemble natural teeth. Living with dentures may take some getting used to, but in short time, eating and speaking will feel normal again.

Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable, yet natural-looking dental appliance that helps restore the form and function of your jaw by replacing one or more missing teeth. When you are missing one or more teeth, the bite pressures shift in your mouth. Other teeth may begin to move to compensate for the “gap” in your bite, and you may experience shrinking of both the soft tissues and the supporting bone near your missing teeth. This can alter your physical appearance and lead to subsequent problems with your other teeth. A partial denture keeps the underlying structures of your mouth – your gums, jawbone, facial muscles, etc. – active and engaged. It helps prevent further shifting of the other teeth in your mouth while giving you the confidence of having a beautiful, complete smile.
Same Day Denture Relines
Dentures are made to fit properly and comfortably so that they function just as normal teeth do. Over time, changes in the jawbone or gum tissue can alter the fit of the denture. Ill-fitting dentures tend to move, causing discomfort and irritation. We want our patients to feel comfortable in their dentures, so occasionally this means relining them for a better fit. Our in-house denture lab allows us to reline dentures on the same day you call for an adjustment.
Implant Retained Dentures
When you have lost your natural teeth, a variety of complications can arise that impact your physical and emotional health. You may find it difficult to speak clearly or chew your favorite foods. You may be embarrassed and try to hide your smile from others. You may also experience shifting among your remaining teeth, causing additional discomfort in your mouth and jaw.
Implant retained dentures offer a solution that provides comfort and relief. They can replace both upper and lower teeth, giving you a secure, natural-looking option that is not only more comfortable but also more convenient than traditional dentures.
Screw-Retained Dentures
