Dentures are removable replacement teeth. Modern materials and digital impressions make them more comfortable and natural-looking than ever.

Types of dentures

  • Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth and clip onto your remaining natural teeth.
  • Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
  • Implant-supported dentures clip onto dental implants for a much more secure fit. See Implant Dentistry and All-on-4™.

What to expect

  1. Assessment of your mouth and remaining teeth, and a conversation about your goals.
  2. Digital impressions of your mouth, used to make precise dentures in the laboratory.
  3. Try-in and fitting, checking the look, fit and bite before your dentures are finished.
  4. Adjustments in the following weeks as you get used to them.

Caring for your dentures

Rinse your dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleanser, and keep them moist when you’re not wearing them. Over time the jaw changes shape, so dentures may need relining. Regular checkups keep them fitting well.

Common questions

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating may feel different at first. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and tell us about any sore spots so we can adjust the fit.

Can dentures be made more secure?

Yes. A denture can be held firmly in place by dental implants, so it doesn’t slip when you eat or speak.

What if my denture breaks?

Keep all the pieces and call us. Don’t try to glue it yourself, as that can make a professional repair harder.
