Request an AppointmentTypes of Dentures
Every patient’s needs are different, so we offer denture options tailored to your oral health and goals:
- Complete dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth on the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain, helping prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.
- Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants for added stability, stronger chewing, and less movement.
Benefits of Dentures
Replacing missing teeth with dentures offers both functional and cosmetic benefits. Dentures can help you chew a wider variety of foods, speak more clearly, and support your lips and cheeks to prevent a sunken facial appearance. Most importantly, a complete smile can restore the confidence to laugh, talk, and smile freely.
The Denture Process
Your journey begins with a thorough exam to evaluate your gums, jawbone, and any remaining teeth. If any teeth need to be removed, we will perform gentle extractions first. We then take precise impressions and measurements to create dentures that match your bite, facial features, and preferred tooth shade. Once your dentures are ready, we will check the fit and make adjustments to ensure they feel comfortable.
Caring for Your Dentures
Following your appointment, we will provide you with detailed instructions for at-home denture care. Be sure to:
- Remove and rinse your dentures after eating
- Brush your dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner
- Soak your dentures overnight to keep them from drying out
- Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily
- Handle dentures carefully to avoid dropping them
We strongly recommend scheduling follow-up appointments for periodic denture cleanings and fit checks, since your jaw and gums naturally change over time.
Exploring Your Tooth Replacement Options
Dentures are one of several ways to replace missing teeth. Depending on your needs, dental bridges or dental implants may also be excellent options. We will help you compare the benefits of each so you can choose the solution that fits your lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last many years. Over time, they may need to be relined, adjusted, or replaced as your gums and jawbone change.
Will dentures feel natural?
It may take a few weeks to adjust to new dentures. Most patients find that eating and speaking become much easier as they get used to them.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, then gradually return to more of your favorite foods. Very sticky or hard foods may need to be limited.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all of the teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain.
Should I wear my dentures at night?
Most patients are advised to remove their dentures at night to give their gums a chance to rest. Our team will let you know what is best for you.
Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer greater stability and chewing strength and help preserve jawbone. Traditional dentures may still be a great option for many patients.
How often should I visit the dentist with dentures?
Regular visits allow us to check the fit of your dentures, clean them professionally, and examine your gums and mouth for any concerns.
