About Dentures in New Orleans, LA
Full or partial dentures offer a convenient way to replace several or an entire arch of missing teeth. Traditional removable dentures can renew the appearance of your smile and make it easier to eat and speak with confidence. MINT dentistry’s team of dental professionals offers full and partial removable dentures to help patients gain a natural-looking smile. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower dental arch. Partial dentures are used when several teeth have been lost and are held in place by your remaining natural teeth. At MINT dentistry, we can help you decide whether partial dentures or full dentures suit your situation and then have your dentures custom-made so they look great and feel comfortable.

Are Dentures Right for Me?

Any remaining natural teeth might be extracted if they are unhealthy or kept in place to support a partial denture. At your initial consultation at our New Orleans, LA facility, a member of the MINT dentistry team will examine your mouth and teeth before reviewing your denture choices to fit your goals and budget. If you've lost some or all of your teeth, schedule a consultation to learn about how full or partial dentures might rejuvenate your smile and oral health.
