What Are Dentures?
Removable or implant-supported dentures are a great option for restoring missing teeth. These prosthetic restorations can restore the appearance of your smile while also improving your ability to speak and eat. Dr. Klein offers full and partial detachable and implant-held dentures for individuals in Rock Hill, SC. Single-arch dentures replace each of the teeth in the upper arch, bottom arch, or both while partial dentures are utilized when some of the patient's teeth are still in the mouth. At Rise and Shine Dentistry, our team can help you discover if removable or implant-supported dentures are most effective for your needs and have them custom-made for an attractive look and comfortable fit. Schedule your denture consultation with Dr. Klein to get started.
What Is the Denture Process?
Our team will begin the denture process by getting 3D or molded impressions of the upper and bottom arches. These impressions are then sent to a special dental lab, which will create your custom dentures. Single-arch and bridge dentures use light resin, which can be supported by an internal metal frame. Crafted with high-grade biocompatible materials, dentures are meant to mimic the appearance of native teeth and the gumline. As soon as your restorations are complete and arrive at Rise and Shine Dentistry, we will reach out to schedule an appointment for your fitting. Dr. Klein will adjust your appliances to fit snugly or connect them to previously positioned titanium implants. Our team will also discuss the ideal methods to clean your brand-new dentures.
Caring for Your Tooth Replacement
Performing your routine activities, such as eating and talking easily, may take some getting used to; however, they will be less difficult as you adjust. In cases where your dentures feel like they are slipping, please contact Rise and Shine Dentistry so our staff can plan an adjustment appointment. You will need to look after your dentures by brushing them using a gentle brush following every meal and placing them in water while you sleep to prevent them from becoming too dry. We ask you to stop by our practice for routine assessments so Dr. Klein can monitor the condition of your dentures and your general oral wellness for a number of years in the future.

Rise and Shine Dentistry Reviews
Rise and Shine Dentistry has been a life (and tooth) saver. Doctor Klein was very patient and kind while completing a root canal on one of my teeth. He was extremely helpful by helping me with this emergency on his day off. What an extremely kind Doctor. His outstanding service was exceptional. His staff is incredibly kind and helpful as well. Even during inclement weather from Hurricane Helene, one of the staff came in just to help check the condition of my teeth. I was in pain and they responded so quickly. I am extremely satisfied with this dentist. I wish I could give them bonus stars on this rating. Seriously, if you are ever in need of a dentist, I beg you to go to Rise and Shine Dentistry.
It’s like having a cheering squad. 🤗 This a great place to get your mouth and teeth taken cared of. Love having Winnie the little dog to keep a patient calm. Dr. Kline and staff are great!
Dr. Kline and his staff so kind and caring.
Everyone at Rise and Shine is so nice! My dental hygienist, Brooke, and Dr. Klein were great to work with.
I wish I could give more stars!! Absolutely would recommend- From the time I walked in the door, I was greeted by two beautiful smiling women who made the check in a breeze- My dental hygienist was Brooke, she was outgoing, personable, explained everything to me and kept me pain free during my cleaning! Dr. Klein was very kind, knowledgeable and took his time to go over a treatment plan for me before getting Invisalign. I highly recommend this office!!

Dentures FAQ
How often do dentures need to be replaced?
Dentures typically need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years. Over time, your mouth naturally changes shape due to bone resorption, which can cause your dentures to become loose and uncomfortable. Regular check-ups with your dentist are essential to ensure the fit remains optimal. Adjustments can be made periodically, but eventually, a new set will be necessary to maintain comfort and functionality.
What should I do if my dentures become loose or uncomfortable?
If your dentures become loose or cause discomfort, it's important to visit your dentist. Loose dentures can lead to sore spots, infections, or difficulty eating and speaking. Your dentist can adjust the fit of the dentures to improve comfort. Over time, adjustments are a normal part of denture maintenance due to changes in your oral structure.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
While it's possible to sleep with your dentures in, it's generally recommended to remove them at night. Removing dentures allows your gums to rest and prevents potential irritation or infections. It also gives you the opportunity to clean and soak your dentures overnight, ensuring they remain fresh and free from bacteria.
