are an effective and affordable solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. Made from durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain,

What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. Depending on your needs, dentures can be designed as
partial dentures (to replace a few missing teeth) or
full dentures (to replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch). They are crafted from high-quality materials like plastic resin or porcelain to ensure a natural look and feel. Dentures are custom-fitted for your mouth, providing comfort and functionality, so you can enjoy an improved quality of life.

partial or full dentures as an affordable, reliable solution to restore both function and aesthetics. It’s estimated that 35 million Americans currently wear dentures, and that number is expected to grow as the aging population, particularly baby boomers, reach retirement age
FAQs About Dentures
Am I a candidate for dentures?
If you’re missing one or more teeth and need an affordable way to restore your smile, dentures could be the right solution for you. Partial and full dentures can provide a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, allowing you to regain much of your original tooth function, including speaking and chewing. To determine if dentures are the right fit for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist today.
What should I expect when being fit for dentures?
Before fitting you for dentures, your dentist will examine your mouth and remove any decayed or damaged teeth that may need extraction. Once your teeth are removed (if necessary), your dentist will take a mold of your gums and the roof of your mouth. This mold will be sent to a dental lab where your custom dentures will be fabricated. Once your dentures are ready, you will return to the dentist for a final fitting, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
Will I need to follow any special instructions to care for my new dentures?
Yes, proper care of your dentures is essential for maintaining their functionality and longevity. Here are some basic guidelines for denture care:
Clean your dentures daily: Brush your dentures with a soft brush and a denture-safe cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
Brush your gums: Use a soft toothbrush to clean your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth to prevent infection and bacteria buildup.
Keep your dentures in water: When not in use, store your dentures in water to keep them from drying out and warping.
Adjusting to your new dentures: It may take time to adjust to wearing dentures. As you get used to speaking and eating with them, you will begin to feel more comfortable over time.
