Full or partial dentures consist of a gum-colored base made of plastic resin, which fits over the remaining alveolar (bone) ridge that formerly held the teeth. The prosthetic teeth projecting from the base are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. Dentures are held in place primarily by the suctioning effect of their close fit against the alveolar ridges that's why it's so important that they are fitted properly. The upper denture also gets extra support from the large surface area of the roof of the mouth (palate), which generally makes it extremely stable.
At first, wearing dentures may require some getting used to in terms of talking and eating, as the dentures become balanced in the space formerly occupied by the teeth. But over time, the muscles, nerves and ligaments of the mouth learn to work in new ways, which allows these functions to occur normally. Dentures also help support the facial skeleton and the soft tissues of the lips and cheeks, which can help create a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Pirtle and Dr. Rodriguez are the best! And their staff are wonderful as well. Dr. Pirtle is extremely knowledgeable and he spends time with his patients to thoroughly explain everything and provide options. And the work he does is excellent. I have had minimal pain or problems and a small adjustment I did need once was completed free of charge. Just make him aware within a reasonable time frame. Dr. Rodriguez is also extremely knowledgeable and she is great with children. Our daughter actually loves going to the dentist. Dr. Rodriguez also spends time to thoroughly explain everything to parents and provide options. She even gave us her cell phone number at one point to let us reach out with concerns about our daughter. Everyone at Lower Valley is so friendly and kind and they seem to be genuinely happy to work there. I always leave my appointments in a positive mood. Highly recommend!

The entire staff from the front desk to the nurses and Dr. were welcoming and friendly. Doctor was super knowledgeable and direct. I couldn't have asked for a better Dr to assess my daughter's dental needs. I can't wait to get started and better yet, get to the end result.

First time Visiting Lower Valley Dental Associates but won't be my last. I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Pirtle made it a bearable experience. The clinic has a great team of professionals who take great pride in their work which is seldom seen nowadays.

The employees are wonderful with Alton. He really likes them. Very accommodating too. I can't wait until Alton gets used to people messing with his teeth! Alton is disabled, but adores them all.

Root canal at 1:30, taco at 4. Lower Valley Dental Associates are outstanding. Staff could not be nicer and Dr. Jordan Patrick Pirtle is THE BEST! He's definitely on the cutting edge of dental technology.

Lower valley dental has been great the office staff is friendly and eager to help and understand when they are working with children... my daughter will never let anyone else even start the process with out being nervous and scared they consulted her and walked her through it all very attentive to her and to me as a parent.. can't say enough of how appreciative I am that I stumbled across this dental office she now wants to switch over and so do I.

Awesome clinic awesome team clinic really nice and clean very professional loved it besides I had taken my daughter to do a checkup at rodeo dental central blvd Brownsville and they told me my daughter had 14 cavities I didn't agree so I took her to another dentist they told me she didn't have any cavities so I decided to have a third opinion I took her to Lower valley and they did X-rays and guess what No Cavities so please be careful were you decide to take your children . Some dentist or doctors don't care about there patients they just care of making money!

I took my son and the service was excellent. Our appointment was at 10 and by 9:55 we were in already. All the personnel was amazing, caring and friendly. Dr. Prittle was very professional, honest with his responses and answered all my son's questions. I will recommend them 100%.
