Conventional and Immediate Dentures


At Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group, we pride ourselves in helping our patients achieve the best, confidence-boosting smile they can get. Dr. Fredrick Shaw, DDS has extensive training in complete dentures. Dental dentures are designed to replace missing teeth as well as the surrounding tissues. They are custom made, removable, and significantly improve the function and appearance of your smile. You can even eat and sleep with them! Your dedicated Austin, TX dentist will ensure that your new dentures fit your mouth properly and comfortably.




Complete dentures are either “conventional” or “immediate.” Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been completely removed from the gum tissue and the healing process has had a chance to begin. After that time, this type of complete denture is placed in the mouth for eight to twelve weeks. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. This is a great alternative to conventional dentures because the wearer doesn’t have to go without teeth during the healing process.




Other benefits of complete dentures include:




- Facial muscle support


- Allows patients to eat food they couldn’t eat without teeth


- Improves the ability to chew, eat, and speak


- Improves appearance and smile


- Improves confidence and self-esteem
