Dentures in Meyerland

Meyerland retirees often arrive with a complete denture that looks presentable and feels unreliable. The teeth may still match, but the ridge under a long-worn plate changes, so the denture rocks when they chew or when they talk in line at Meyerland Plaza. If any natural teeth remain, we look first at a partial denture rather than extracting a plan for a full arch that the mouth does not need. Clasps have to land on teeth that can take the load; we would rather say a tooth is too weak than send someone back along Braes Bayou with hardware that will fail. When the arch is empty, the complete denture is built for everyday meals and for speaking without a whistle, and we schedule try-ins so the shape can be corrected before it is finished.

A reline is the Meyerland appointment for a plate that is whole but loose: we refresh the inside so it meets today’s gum, not the gum of a decade ago. A same-day repair covers a crack or a denture tooth that came off between the house and the plaza. Call (832) 831-9101 during Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM or Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM and bring the pieces. We are closed Sunday. Implant-retained dentures add attachments on implants so the plate stays down while walking or eating, which is the request we hear from people who are active along the bayou and tired of adhesive. That plan takes more visits than a reline, and we lay out the sequence after the exam, in English or Spanish. The drive from Meyerland is about twelve minutes to suite K.
