EXPERT DENTURES AT RICCOBENE IN WILMINGTON-PORTERS NECK

We offer precision-crafted full, partial, and immediate dentures in Wilmington, NC, designed for a natural appearance, stability, and comfort, along with relines and repairs to support long-term denture care.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It helps improve chewing and speaking function, as well as appearance. Dentures are made of acrylic resin and designed to look natural and blend in well with your teeth.

Benefits of Dentures for Missing Teeth

  • Restore your facial shape and prevent a sunken look that can happen with a missing tooth
  • Improve your confidence and smile
  • More affordable than some other tooth replacement options
  • Easy to adjust, repair, or upgrade later

Types of Dentures Available in Porters Neck

We offer several denture options to meet your needs and goals. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures in Wilmington, NC, replace one or more missing teeth.

We also offer implant dentures, which are secured with dental implants for added stability and function. We can even do immediate dentures and place them the same day as the tooth removal.

‍

Who Should Consider Dentures?

Dentures are a great solution if you're missing several teeth or an entire arch, or if you're dealing with teeth that are damaged or loose and affecting your comfort and smile.

What to Expect During Your Denture Consultation

  1. Consultation: your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss the best denture option for you.
  2. Impressions: precise impressions and scans will be taken to customize the dentures.
  3. Fitting & Adjustments: dentures are then tried in. Making small adjustments is part of the process as you get used to the dentures.

Such an amazing dental office!! Everyone is so kind and welcoming right when you walk in the door, and it makes you feel seen. My dentist is especially wonderful and has taught me SO much about the health of my teeth. If it wasn’t for her, I would not have the healthy set of teeth and gums that I do now, and I’m thankful. 100% recommend this company to anyone who is in need of a great dentist!

★★★★★
I had the best experience here. I needed a root canal done and was having some pretty severe pain, and they got me in faster than any other dentist or endodontist in the area... I have pretty severe panic disorder, and they were so supportive and sensitive through the whole process. They were very encouraging and held my hand when I needed it. I would definitely recommend them.
Catherine I

★★★★★
I haven’t seen a dentist in over 10 years. To say I was nervous about going to one is an understatement. I had a tooth break about a year ago and was terrified to get it fixed. Everyone I encountered in this establishment went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. After hearing I needed a root canal, I was even more scared. I did not need to be. Everyone was so kind and made me feel extremely comfortable. My dental fears may be gone. Thank you so much.
