Dentures
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
- A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of both. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dental examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

All the staff (especially Elizabeth, for her long term knowledge of our situation) is exceptionally friendly efficient, and courteous. Theresa, our hygienist, over the last year and a half, is very thorough, friendly, and gentle, performing a beautiful job and explaining tips when needed. Dr. Mikhail is very personable, thorough, and informative. We have been getting our dental care at this location for approximately 15 to 20 years. Both myself and my husband are very grateful for their expertise and care we have received through the years. We highly recommend Dental Plus and are proud to be associated with them. Thank you, all of you.

Dr. Mikail and Orlando were great and made me feel very comfortable even though I have always feared going to the dentist. I will be going here for all of my dental work from now on. The front desk staff were also helpful with financing as I do not have dental insurance.

Our Latest Patient Testimonials
Ok, I am not a paid advertiser for Dr. Mikhail or Dental Plus, I am not a relative nor do I have any personal involvement with either. I am a real patient of Dr. Mikhail's. I was diagnosed in Saint Mary's GA with the need of a root canal. Luckily for me my pain was not unbearable and I was able to shop around. Saint Mary's GA is a small town without much competition, so natural the rule of "Supply and Demand" rules. I did my due diligence and ventured out almost 60 miles from home to find what appeared to be not only a well-informed website, but a business that obviously cared about me as a patient. They almost immediately called and then followed up with an email. Within minutes they were able to sensibly discuss my options and the estimated cost of such. I was sold. Going to Dental Plus for my root canal and cap was, now get this, it was actually enjoyable. To experience a well-functioning business from start to finish was enjoyable. It's easy to complain about poor service, and believe me I do, but I also give praise when I discover a business that still considers the customer as being vital to their business. I highly recommend Dr. Mikhail and his staff at Dental Plus. My overall rating is EXCELLENT, Kudos to you all! Signed: Satisfied Patient
