Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth, custom-made from acrylic, resin, or a combination of materials to fit the shape of your mouth. According to the Cleveland Clinic, full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and rest on the gums and jawbone ridge, while partial dentures use clasps that anchor to your remaining natural teeth for added stability. The average denture lasts seven to ten years, though relines are typically needed every one to two years as your mouth naturally changes shape. The American Dental Association notes that new dentures often feel awkward for the first few weeks while your cheek and tongue muscles adjust to keeping them in place, and mild soreness or increased saliva flow during that period is normal.
Patients come to us for dentures for a variety of reasons. Common signs it may be time to consider them include:
The right choice depends on how many teeth you’re missing and what matters most to you day to day. Complete dentures make sense when all the teeth in an arch are gone or need to be removed, while partial dentures are a better fit when enough healthy natural teeth remain to anchor them. Patients who want to avoid going without teeth during the healing period often choose immediate dentures, understanding that a follow-up reline is usually needed once the gums fully heal and shrink. For patients who find traditional dentures shift or feel unstable, implant-supported dentures offer a level of security and biting force that a removable appliance alone can’t match, though they involve a longer treatment timeline and a higher upfront cost. We’ll walk through the tradeoffs honestly at your consultation so you can choose with confidence.
Cost varies depending on whether you need a complete or partial denture, and whether implants are part of your treatment plan. Our team verifies your insurance benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises, and patients without applicable coverage can ask about our in-house membership plan for reduced pricing.
Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser, and soaked overnight in a denture solution or water to prevent warping. Brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth before reinserting them each morning, and give your gums a rest by leaving dentures out for at least a few hours a day. Routine dental checkups remain important even after you’ve been fitted, so we can confirm your denture still fits properly and check the health of your gums and any remaining teeth.
