If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, complete dentures can help you reclaim a full, confident smile. These custom-made restorations fill every gap, allowing you to speak clearly, eat comfortably, and smile without hesitation.
Complete Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace all the teeth in either the upper jaw (maxillary), lower jaw (mandibular), or both. They are used when a person has lost all natural teeth due to aging, decay, gum disease, or injury.
We’ll examine your teeth and gums, discuss your lifestyle, and select a partial design that best fits your needs and budget.
Precise models of your mouth are captured, and we’ll help you choose the ideal tooth shade and shape to blend seamlessly with your smile.
You’ll preview how your new partial feels and looks. Adjustments are made for comfort and natural esthetics before final processing.
Once your partial is ready, we’ll walk you through care and cleaning tips. Mild pressure points are normal at first and easily adjusted in-office.
Since dentures are removable, daily cleaning is key to maintaining freshness and preventing bacteria buildup that can irritate gums or cause odor. Rinse them with lukewarm water after meals to remove food particles, and brush gently using a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser to protect the surface.
When you’re not wearing your dentures, keep them in clean water or a denture-soaking solution. This prevents acrylic materials from drying or warping and helps loosen any leftover debris for easier cleaning.
Even without natural teeth, regular dental checkups are essential. Over time, your gums and bone structure may shift, altering how your dentures fit. Periodic relines or adjustments keep them comfortable and secure, while exams allow your dentist to monitor your oral tissues for any signs of irritation or sore spots.
Dentures can be delicate. Always clean them over a sink filled with water or a soft towel to cushion accidental drops. If a crack or chip occurs, contact your dentist for professional repair—avoid trying to fix it at home.
With the right care routine, your dentures can look great, feel natural, and help you maintain a confident smile for years.
While dentures can’t perfectly mimic the feel of natural teeth, most people adjust within a short time. Modern designs are made for balance, comfort, and a realistic look—helping you smile and eat with confidence.
With consistent care, your dentures can serve you well for 5–10 years or more. Over time, your gums and jaw may shift, so occasional relines or replacements help maintain a snug, comfortable fit.
Not at all—you’ll just need a little patience while adjusting. Start with softer foods and small bites, then work your way up. Once you adapt, most meals become easy and enjoyable again.
: It’s best to remove them at night. This gives your gums time to rest and prevents bacterial buildup. When not wearing them, keep dentures in water or a cleaning solution to maintain their shape.
If your dentures start to shift or create sore spots, schedule an adjustment. Your dentist can reline or reshape them for better comfort and fit.
Partial dentures are great when you still have some natural teeth, while full dentures replace an entire set. Your dentist will help determine which option best suits your oral health and goals.
A custom-fit denture typically stays secure on its own, but a small amount of adhesive can add confidence—especially when first adjusting or if your gum ridge is flat.
A short adjustment period is normal, but practicing reading or speaking out loud helps you adapt quickly. Within days, most people speak naturally again.
Very sticky or hard foods can shift or damage dentures, so chew carefully. Once you adjust, you’ll be able to enjoy most foods comfortably with little limitation.
Keep them moist by placing them in clean water or a denture-soaking solution. Avoid using hot water—it can warp the material. Proper storage keeps your dentures fresh, clean, and lasting longer.
