What Are Dentures & Partial Dentures?

Dentures are dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and help improve speech, chewing ability, and facial appearance while preventing remaining teeth from shifting. There are two main types of dentures:

Partial dentures: Our partial dentures are used when some of your natural teeth remain intact. They are crafted to fill the spaces left by missing teeth and are typically secured to your remaining natural teeth with clasps, helping to maintain the alignment of your existing teeth.
Full dentures: These dentures provide a full set of teeth for one or both arches and can be designed as either removable or fixed, based on your individual needs and preferences.

What Are Traditional & Implant Dentures

Depending on your dental needs, we offer both traditional dentures and implant options to restore your smile and improve dental function. Traditional dentures are removable appliances that fit over your gums, staying in place through suction or adhesive. They are a popular choice if you are missing most or all of your teeth and provide a reliable, cost-effective solution.

In contrast, implant dentures are securely attached to dental implants placed in your jawbone, offering greater stability and comfort. Unlike traditional dentures, they do not rely on adhesives, making them a more permanent and secure option for those with enough jawbone density. Our traditional dentures and implant solutions are designed to enhance your smile and restore your chewing and speaking abilities.

Our Denture & Partial Denture Process

Our denture process begins with a consultation with our dentist, where we'll evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if dentures are the correct choice for you. During this visit, we examine your gums and any remaining teeth, then take impressions of your teeth to create a custom mold that provides a comfortable and natural fit.

After the impressions are made, a dental lab will craft your dentures, and you'll return for a fitting appointment. At this time, our dentist will place the dentures in your mouth and make any needed adjustments to improve comfort, bite, and appearance. We aim to provide a comforting experience, giving you a custom denture solution to meet your unique smile needs.

How Do I Care for My Dentures?

Caring for your dentures is important to keep them in good condition and maintain their functionality. Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and a denture cleanser, avoiding regular toothpaste as it can damage the surface. After eating, rinse your dentures thoroughly to remove any food particles. Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to prevent them from drying out and losing shape. Handle your dentures carefully to avoid damage, and clean them over a soft surface like a towel or a sink filled with water in case they slip from your hands. Regular visits to our dentist will help maintain the proper fit and function of your dentures.

Can I Eat Normally With Dentures?

When you first get dentures, adjusting to eating with them may take some time. It's best to begin with softer foods and cut them into pieces to make chewing easier. Foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, and soups are good options as you get used to the feeling of your dentures. You can slowly add firmer foods to your diet as you become more comfortable.

Chewing slowly and carefully is important, especially in the beginning, to avoid discomfort or damaging your dentures. Many people find it helpful to chew on both sides of your mouth to distribute the pressure evenly. Although dentures may feel different from natural teeth at first, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods again with practice. Scheduling regular visits in our office will help your dentures remain fitting properly, keeping your eating experience as comfortable as possible.
