What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made, removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in a variety of types to meet your specific needs:

Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These rest on the gums and help support the lips and cheeks, restoring the natural contours of your face.

Partial Dentures: Designed to replace several missing teeth and attach to the remaining natural teeth using clasps or attachments for stability.

Implant-Supported Dentures: These are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing a secure and stable foundation that prevents slipping and enhances comfort. Our practice offers both dental implant placement and restoration services.

Benefits of Dentures

Whether you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dentures offer many benefits, including:

Restored Functionality

Dentures allow you to chew, speak, and smile naturally, helping you enjoy your favorite foods and communicate with ease.

Enhanced Appearance

Dentures fill in gaps left by missing teeth, supporting the lips and cheeks to give you a youthful and natural smile.

Prevent Further Tooth Loss

By evenly distributing chewing forces across the jaw, dentures help protect remaining teeth and prevent excessive wear and tear.

Increased Confidence

Dentures restore your smile, allowing you to laugh, socialize, and enjoy life without worrying about gaps or missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How long do dentures last?

Most dentures last 5-10 years before needing replacement due to normal wear and changes in your mouth shape. Regular adjustments and relines can help extend their lifespan and maintain proper fit.

Will dentures affect my speech and eating?

Initially, dentures may cause slight changes in speech and eating habits, but most people adapt within a few weeks. Practice speaking and start with soft foods before gradually returning to your normal diet.

How do I care for my dentures?

Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, never regular toothpaste which can be abrasive. Remove them at night and soak in water or denture solution to prevent warping.

Are dentures uncomfortable?

New dentures may feel awkward initially and cause minor soreness as your mouth adjusts. Most discomfort subsides within a few weeks, but persistent pain should be addressed by your dentist.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

It’s generally recommended to remove dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest and recover. This also helps prevent bacterial growth and maintains better oral health.
