​

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures are removable appliances that replace all the teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They rest on the gums and are custom-made to suit your mouth.

We work with you to select the shape, shade, and arrangement of the replacement teeth, with attention to your smile, bite, and facial support.

​

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They typically use a framework or base with clasps or other attachments to help hold the replacement teeth in position.

A removable partial denture is taken out for cleaning. We evaluate your remaining teeth and gums to determine whether they can provide suitable support.

​

Which Option Is Right for Me?

Your recommended treatment depends on the number of missing teeth, the health of your remaining teeth and gums, your jawbone, and your preferences.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss suitable options, which may include:

• Full dentures when all teeth in an arch are missing.

• Partial dentures when some healthy teeth remain.

• A dental bridge or dental implants when appropriate.

We’ll explain the expected benefits, limitations, maintenance, and costs of your options so you can make an informed decision.

​

What to Expect During Treatment

Consultation and evaluation: We examine your mouth, review your dental and medical history, and discuss your goals. Any necessary treatment for remaining teeth or gums is included in your plan.

Impressions and measurements: We capture the shape of your mouth and assess how your jaws come together to help design your denture.

Try-in and fitting: Depending on the type of denture, a try-in appointment allows us to assess the tooth arrangement, appearance, and bite before completion.

Delivery and follow-up: We check the finished denture, explain how to use and care for it, and arrange adjustments as needed.

Treatment generally requires several appointments. If extractions are needed, healing can affect the timing and fit of your denture.

​

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

Getting used to dentures takes practice. Eating and speaking may feel different at first, and follow-up adjustments are often part of the process.

Our team will guide you through this transition. Contact us if you develop sore areas or have ongoing difficulty with the fit. Avoid adjusting the denture yourself.

​

Caring for Dentures and Partials

Clean your appliance daily using a soft brush and a suitable nonabrasive denture cleanser. Clean your gums and tongue, and continue brushing and flossing any remaining natural teeth.

Follow our instructions for overnight removal, soaking, and storage, since care requirements can vary by material. Regular dental visits remain important for evaluating your mouth, remaining teeth, and denture fit.

​

Costs, Insurance & Payment Options

The cost of dentures depends on the type of appliance, materials, and any additional treatment needed.

We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and can help you understand your anticipated benefits. Coverage and replacement limits vary by plan. Financing through Cherry is available, subject to approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dentures look natural?
We select the tooth shade, shape, and arrangement with your appearance and preferences in mind. Our goal is a smile that suits you.

How long does it take to get dentures?
The timeline depends on the type of denture, the appointments required, and whether extractions or healing are involved. We’ll discuss your expected schedule at your consultation.

What if my current dentures feel loose?
Changes in your gums and jawbone can affect the fit over time. We’ll evaluate your denture and discuss whether an adjustment, reline, replacement, or another approach is appropriate.

Do I still need dental exams if I have no natural teeth?
Yes. We check the health of your gums and other oral tissues and evaluate the condition and fit of your dentures.
