Dentures

A beautiful, confident smile is important to everyone, and we work hard to create natural, comfortable dentures that help our patients feel great and function well. Dentures are a popular choice for those seeking an affordable, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth.

Types of Dentures

  • Conventional Dentures:
    Made after all teeth are removed and the tissue has healed, usually around 6 months after the last tooth extraction.

  • Immediate Dentures:
    Delivered the same day your teeth are removed, so you never have to go without teeth. However, these dentures often require several adjustments in the first few months and usually need to be relined 6-12 months after extraction to ensure the best fit.

Dental Implant Overdentures (Snap-In Dentures)

Snap-in dentures are a great alternative to traditional dentures, using implants for added stability. These dentures are removable for easy cleaning but offer superior retention compared to conventional dentures.

Benefits of Snap-In Overdentures:

  • Palate-Free Upper Dentures: With no material covering the roof of your mouth, you can enjoy your food without gagging sensations or altered taste.

  • Stable Lower Dentures: No more floating or shifting—snap-in dentures stay firmly in place.

  • Improved Comfort and Confidence: Dental implants help you chew better, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Snap-in dentures can significantly improve your quality of life, offering enhanced comfort, function, and stability for a more enjoyable day-to-day experience.

Removable Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures are a cost-effective solution for replacing several missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base, often supported by a cast metal framework.

Benefits of Partial Dentures

  • Prevents teeth from shifting and misaligning

  • Improves your ability to speak and eat comfortably

  • Supports your facial structure, preventing a sunken or aged appearance

Types of Partial Dentures

  • Cast Metal Partials:
    These partials are custom-made to fit securely over your natural teeth, filling in gaps seamlessly. Known for their durability, they provide a snug, reliable fit and are designed by skilled technicians for long-lasting use.

  • Flexible Base Partials (Valplast Partials):
    Made with state-of-the-art technology, these lightweight, metal-free dentures offer enhanced flexibility and comfort. Handcrafted for a natural appearance, Valplast partials are ideal for those seeking a more comfortable and discreet alternative.

Both options are tailored to meet your specific needs, helping you smile, speak, and eat confidently while maintaining the health and alignment of your remaining teeth.

Caring For Your Dentures and Partials

Proper care is essential to keep your dentures and partials clean, functional, and looking great for years to come. Without daily maintenance, these appliances can harbor bacteria and become permanently stained.

Tips for Cleaning Your Dentures and Partials

  • Prevent Breakage:
    When handling your dentures or partials, place a folded towel or fill the sink with water to cushion them in case you drop them.

  • Use a Mild Cleanser:
    Some cleaners are too abrasive and can damage your appliance. Ask your dentist for product recommendations or look for the ADA seal of approval when choosing a denture cleaner.

  • Keep Them Moist:
    When not wearing your dentures, store them in water or a cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out or losing their shape.

Maintain a Healthy Mouth

Even if you wear a full set of dentures, it's important to clean your gums and tongue daily to maintain oral health. Regular dental checkups are also essential to ensure your mouth stays healthy and your dentures continue to fit comfortably.

With proper care, your dentures and partials will help you smile confidently and function comfortably for years to come.
