I absolutely love Earp Dentistry! They’re so nice and will make you feel so welcome. Dr. Earp and his team truly helped me out a lot. I had an abscess and I was immediately scheduled to be seen. It was painless before I realize it he was done. I’m very pleased! If you’re trying to find a great dentist Earp Dentistry is the place to be!

Types of Dentures

Partial dentures

Partial Dentures

Designed to fit around your existing natural teeth, partial dentures are a good solution for those missing many but not all of their teeth. Partial dentures are removable and can help compensate for changes in your bite, preserving the structure of your jaw and face.

Complete dentures

Complete Dentures

Complete or full dentures, on the other hand, can replace an entire arch of your teeth rather than just a portion. Complete dentures are ideal for those who have lost all of their teeth. Using a denture base and artificial teeth, full dentures can help restore chewing and biting function to your mouth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-Supported Dentures

If your jaw has atrophied in the wake of tooth loss, you may be considering implant-supported dentures. A stable option that doesn't use adhesive, a dental implant acts exactly as a natural tooth does. It not only replaces a lost tooth, but can also halt jawbone atrophy.

Why Choose Earp Dentistry?

A Competitive Price Point

The price of your new dentures will depend on the type of denture and the materials used in the fabrication process. If you require dental implants, that will affect the final cost, as well. At our Greenville, NC office, we are proud to offer competitive prices for your denture treatment plan. Prices range from $1,500 to $20,000, depending on the scope of your treatment. Dentures at the higher end of this price range include implant-supported screw retained zirconia hybrid dentures, which are permanent and non-removable.

All Your Dental Services in One Place

Sometimes when you have an issue with your oral health or care, you can find yourself being shuttled around from one specialist to the next. This can cause confusion, miscommunications, and delays in treatment. At our Greenville, NC office, we offer as many services as possible in-house, meaning you won't be bounced around from doctor to doctor. With our one-stop-shop, you'll feel at ease in the hands of some of the most skilled and dedicated dentists in the area.

A Comfortable Environment

Don't let your dental anxiety get in the way of your dental treatment. At Earp Dentistry, we want our patients to feel at home. That's why we offer ITERO scanning instead of traditional impression materials, to reduce the discomfort associated with taking tooth impressions. Instead of traditional hard acrylics, our dentists also use softer, more tissue-friendly resins for an enhanced dental experience. Our prime goal is your comfort, and our friendly staff is always available to assist our valued patients.

Timeline of Dentures Process

What to Expect

Initial Appointment

During a comprehensive initial examination, your dentist will assess your oral health and determine your candidacy for dentures. Based on the condition of your mouth, he will then outline your denture options.

Fitting

After explaining the fitting process, your dentist will take a mold of your teeth. You may also be asked to provide input on shape and color. If you need implants placed or teeth extracted, these operations will need to occur before you receive your final dentures.

Final Results

Generally, you should expect to experience an adjustment period when you first receive your new device. Daily tasks may come unnaturally to you at first, but this is normal. Over the course of a few weeks, your muscles will grow accustomed to your dentures.

How Long Does the Process Take?

The length of your treatment will depend on if you need...

No Surgery

If you don't require any implants or extractions of natural teeth before dentures, you can expect the process to take a few weeks. The lab can take a few weeks to a month to manufacture your dentures, and that time period does not include the initial consultation and impression-taking appointments.

Tooth Extraction

If you need teeth extracted before receiving dentures, expect to wait anywhere between a few weeks to a few months before you can begin using your new device. This allows your gum tissue time to heal while you wear temporary dentures.

Dental Implant-Supported Dentures

Alternatively, if you have dental implants placed before dentures, you will have to wait between four to six months for the healing process to be complete. This allows time for the titanium implants to fuse with your jawbone, stabilizing your new tooth or teeth in your mouth.
