Dentures for Kids in Yukon, OK
Tooth loss in children can happen for many reasons—trauma, congenital conditions, or the early removal of teeth due to decay. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we understand how important it is to restore both function and appearance when teeth are lost during the developmental years. That’s why we offer custom dentures designed specifically for pediatric patients, helping kids chew, speak, and smile with confidence while their permanent teeth are still developing.
Why Would a Child Need Dentures?
Although it’s more common in adults, dentures can be a necessary solution for children in certain cases. Pediatric dentures are recommended when:
- Baby teeth are lost too early due to severe decay or injury
- Permanent teeth are missing due to a genetic condition such as hypodontia
- Teeth have been removed to prevent infection or support overall oral development
- There is a need to support normal jaw growth, facial appearance, or speech development
Our approach is always personalized. Dr. Tiana Osbourne will evaluate your child’s oral health, take digital records using Digital Impressions, and recommend a care plan that considers both current needs and future development.

Types of Pediatric Dentures We Offer
We provide several types of pediatric dentures depending on the extent of tooth loss and your child’s individual needs:
- Partial Dentures – Used when only a few teeth are missing. These help preserve the spacing of existing teeth and support a natural bite.
- Complete Dentures – Used when most or all baby teeth have been lost prematurely.
- Transitional Dentures – Designed to support function and aesthetics while your child waits for permanent teeth to erupt.
Each appliance is custom-made for fit, comfort, and a natural look.
How Dentures Support Your Child’s Development
Beyond restoring a smile, pediatric dentures play a vital role in:
- Supporting speech clarity and development
- Allowing your child to eat a wider variety of nutritious foods
- Maintaining proper spacing for incoming permanent teeth
- Boosting confidence and social comfort
Our dentures are made from high-quality, lightweight materials that are safe and appropriate for young mouths. We work closely with families to ensure a great fit and provide education on care and maintenance.
What to Expect from the Process
Getting dentures at Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry involves:
- Initial Consultation and Imaging – We begin with a full assessment and Digital X-rays to understand your child’s dental anatomy.
- Digital Scanning – No messy trays. We use digital impressions to ensure the dentures fit precisely.
- Custom Fabrication – Dentures are made to match the shape, color, and size appropriate for your child’s age and appearance.
- Fitting and Follow-Up – We’ll make sure the dentures feel good and function well, then schedule regular check-ins as your child grows.
Coordinated Care for Long-Term Oral Health
Dentures are just one part of a holistic pediatric care plan. We may also recommend:
- Children’s Dentistry visits for regular cleanings and exams
- Occlusal & Sports Mouthguards to protect dentures during physical activity
- Nutritional Counseling to support dietary choices that encourage healthy oral growth
As your child’s needs change, we’ll guide your family through the next steps—whether that’s adjustments, replacements, or transition to orthodontics like Invisalign for Kids.
