Dentures are removable substitutes for missing teeth. Full dentures are used when a person is missing all their natural teeth, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth here or there to eliminate gaps and improve chewing. Denture treatment is customized specifically to each patient, and our dentists can help you decide which option works best for you.

Am I A Candidate For Dentures?

If you’re living with full or partial tooth loss, you’re likely a candidate for dentures. You must be in good oral health without gum disease or other concerns before your treatment begins so you can enjoy the best possible results.

How Do Dentures Work?

Sometimes dental conditions, such as tooth decay or gum disease, can become unmanageable. This may lead to the decision to remove your remaining teeth on one or both arches. Full dentures are an economical and efficient way to restore your function and smile.

A complete denture consists of a thin gum-colored acrylic base that rests on the gum tissue. Porcelain or acrylic replacement teeth built into the base give the appearance of natural teeth. We know that your smile is unique, and our dental team has the experience to help you select the teeth that will look the most natural. This also gives you the option to customize the way you look; whether you want a "new" smile, or want to recreate the one you had.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

While dentures boast a long history of successful use, modern technology offers some options to enhance the way dentures fit and the way you look. In many cases, dentures can be secured more firmly to your jaw with the use of dental implants, placed in the jaw. In addition to having greater retention and a more natural look, implant-supported dentures tend to last longer. Our doctors can discuss these options and help you understand the ways they can improve your experience with dentures.

How Long Does It Take To Get Dentures?

The process of receiving new dentures requires multiple appointments to complete from start to finish. This can take several weeks, including:

Your initial consultation with the dentist and all necessary X-rays
Tooth extractions (if necessary)
Taking impressions
Fabricating your denture at a dental lab
Pre-fitting to test the look and fit of your denture
Final adjustments once your completed denture is ready

What Is The Difference Between Full And Partial Dentures?

Whether you've lost one tooth or many, chewing and smiling can become more difficult because of the gaps in your smile. Partial dentures are an economical solution to replace missing teeth, fill in the spaces, improve chewing ability, and restore your confidence to smile. A partial denture will also help keep your natural teeth from shifting, lowering the risk of losing those teeth in the future.

Most partial dentures contain a thin metal framework that is designed with small metal clasps that wrap around the gum line of existing teeth. This allows for a smooth, non-bulky feel. The framework is supported by your natural teeth to provide a reliable, secure appliance that is easy to use and remove. Where teeth are missing, natural-looking replacement teeth are attached, and gum-colored acrylic is used to cover the metal framework. Remember your mouth and your needs are unique, and our dental team works with skilled technicians to create a solution that is functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.

With advances in technology, implants can also be used to support removable partial dentures, improving the fit while reducing the bulkiness of the appliance. Dentures inherently bring some challenges, especially to new wearers. Our goal is to minimize the everyday frustrations and keep you as comfortable as possible.

We look forward to discussing your options to make your mouth full again and to give you back a confident, glowing smile!

How Long Do Dentures Last?

A pair of dentures can last up to a decade with good care, but on average will last 5-8 years. Your denture will need maintenance to account for normal wear and tear. These visits will ensure that your dentures are comfortable and functional for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dentures covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. Dentures are covered in part by major dental insurance plans. Be sure to refer to your policy for an estimation of the percentage covered by your insurance provider.

Do dentures hurt?

It takes time to get used to your new dentures, especially when eating. You will experience some tenderness for 1-2 while your mouth adjusts to your prosthetic teeth. Once you get used to them, you will be able to resume normal function comfortably.

Do you offer sedation?

Yes! If you need to have some or all of your teeth removed prior to receiving your dentures, we provide dental sedation to make the experience painless.
