Voted best dentist in Denton in 2016! Affordable prices with or without insurance State-of-the-art dental implant procedures
New patients come into Denton Smiles in Denton, TX, that are afraid to smile, or have chewing discomfort, because they are missing two or more adjacent teeth. One of the cosmetic dental solutions that our licensed family dentists, Dr. Glenn Vo and Dr. Susan Tran, recommend to them are full or partial dentures.
Dentures are removable fake teeth that can be worn during the day to restore your smile’s look and feel like new again. With today’s newer porcelain and plastic materials, onlookers will have a hard time recognizing that you’re even wearing dentures! To learn more, or to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Vo or Dr. Tran, call Denton Smiles today at: 940-298-8467.
What Causes Adjacent Teeth to Be Lost?
Full or partial dentures are used when a patient is missing two or more consecutive teeth. The main reasons we see at Denton Smiles why this happens fall within two categories: periodontal disease or traumatic injuries.
Periodontal Disease
More commonly called “gum disease”, periodontal disease occurs over time due to one or more of these risk factors:
- Lack of proper dental care and oral hygiene
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Rheumatoid arthritis
In some instances, the patient’s health and well-being are at risk, and it’s necessary for Dr. Vo or Dr. Vo to extract, or “pull”, several of their teeth for their own safety. Symptoms of periodontal disease include gum bleeding, notably after brushing and flossing, gum tenderness and inflammation. Our hygienist checks for those signs during a routine exam and cleaning.
Traumatic Injury
In these cases, the patient loses the use of two or more consecutive teeth when a forceful impact to their mouth damages the teeth, roots, and the surrounding gum tissue. Those traumatic injuries usually result from:
- Sports injuries
- Automobile accidents
- Work-related mishaps
- Fistfights
At Denton Smiles Dentistry, we encourage all our patients who engage in contact sports to wear mouth guards to help protect their natural smiles.

What Our Patients Say
Absolutely the *TOP* dentist in the D/FW area! We were referred to Dr. Olson by a friend. His office is a 35 minute drive from our home and absolutely worth it. Our daughter is 4 years old and needs extensive work done on her teeth, that will require IV sedation. We have met with 3 other dentists in the area, and didn’t have a peace about them being the ones to do the work on her. We have been searching for the very best, and thankfully, found Dr. Olson.

Smiles staff are all very pleasant and professional. I have had many bad experiences with dentist and was afraid to go back. Dr. Tran did 3 fillings on me. I actually fell asleep. She’s soft spoken and very gentle handed. My extraction also went well didn’t fall asleep but didn’t have any pain. Yay They did a follow up call to see if I had any issues. I would recommend any and every one to make Smiles their dentist.
PS: very clean facility too

Not a fan of the dentist in the slightest but everyone at Denton Smiles is top notch and erased my fear completely. I'm super appreciative and can't recommend enough. Having people poke around in your mouth is a pretty invasive experience, but everyone here does nothing but put your mind at ease. THANK YOU!!!

Everyone in the office was really kind and you can tell they care about their patients. They took their time, asked questions, and listened to my concerns. There was an issue with my insurance and they gave me great advice as to how to handle it. Also, I received the gentlest but most thorough cleaning. I will definitely be visiting again in 6 months!
