Dentures
The American College of Prosthodontists reports that over 120 million Americans have lost at least one of their permanent teeth. This accounts for more than 36% of the population, which means 1 in 3 individuals are affected. Common remedies for missing teeth include Implant,s bridges, and dentures.
Based on the number and location of your missing teeth, our dentists might suggest an implant, bridge, or dentures. For one or a few missing teeth, an implant could be the optimal choice due to its advantages over traditional dentures. Conversely, if you require the removal of most or all of your teeth, dentures are likely the most suitable solution.
Dentures
Removable dental replacements, known as dentures, are a common service offered to our clients. We provide complete dentures for individuals missing all their teeth and partial dentures for those missing some teeth.
Two types of dentures are available:
-
Conventional dentures are crafted after teeth removal and are fitted 8 to 12 weeks later.
-
Immediate dentures are prepared beforehand and can be worn immediately after teeth extraction.
Dentures offer a solution to various issues for individuals who have undergone tooth extraction. They enable patients to regain a more natural use of their mouths, similar to how they functioned before losing their teeth.
Despite the advancements in dentures, there are key factors to keep in mind when selecting them:
-
An adjustment period may be necessary for eating and speaking after getting new dentures
-
Chewing efficiency is slightly lower than with bridges
-
Hot and cold sensations may be affected as dentures cover the palate
-
Traditional dentures might require adhesives for stability over time
-
Proper cleaning and care are essential to prevent plaque and bacteria buildup in the dentures

Dentures FAQ
How long does a denture work take?
The process of getting full mouth dentures usually requires multiple appointments over a period of several weeks to months, including initial consultations, impressions, trial fittings to ensure optimal comfort and functionality, and finally, the placement of the dentures.
What can you not eat with a denture?
When wearing dentures, it's best to avoid certain foods that can be challenging to eat or may cause damage to the dentures. These include sticky, hard, chewy, and crunchy foods, as well as those with small seeds or extreme temperatures. By steering clear of these foods and using caution when eating, you can help prevent discomfort, minimize the risk of denture damage, and maintain the longevity of your dental prosthetic.
Are there different types of dentures available?
There are various types of dentures available to cater to different needs, including full dentures that replace all teeth, partial dentures for those with some remaining natural teeth, implant-supported dentures that offer enhanced stability, immediate dentures placed immediately after tooth extraction, and overdentures designed to fit over existing teeth or implants.
