A Natural Solution to Missing Teeth
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and the tissues connected to those teeth. It consists of acrylic plastic and in some cases, porcelain and metal materials, closely resembling natural gum tissue and teeth. While partial dentures only replace the missing spaces, complete dentures replace all of the teeth. They are not just limited to elderly patients. Patients of any age can require dentures of some sort due to loss of some or all of their teeth.

Procedure to Get Dentures
The complete denture procedure takes about a month to complete. Five or more appointments are needed to complete the denture procedure. The process starts with the initial diagnosis which involves the making of an impression and wax bite to determine the dimensions and proper jaw position. Our knowledgeable team ensures proper color, shape, fit, placement of the final denture and any minor adjustments.
Initially, right after the denture process, you may feel awkward and loose because your cheek and tongue muscles must learn to keep the dentures in place. Your speech may also be temporarily but mildly affected. You may experience some minor irritation or soreness. Saliva flow may increase for a short time. As your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures, however, these problems subside.
Wearing Your Dentures
In case of removable dentures, seek advice from our dentists about how long you should wear them. After the initial adjustment period, your dentist may tell you to remove the dentures before you go to sleep. Research has shown that removing the dentures for at least eight hours during the day or night allows the gums to rest and permits normal stimulation and cleaning of the mouth by the tongue and saliva. This promotes long-term health of the gums.
Taking Care of Your Dentures
- Remove and brush the denture daily with a denture cleanser and a brush, specifically designed for cleaning dentures or a soft toothbrush
- Denture adhesives may be recommended, especially for the first-time denture wearer. Adhesives may improve the retention and stability of dentures for those with minimal bone support or small ridges. Stability of the denture will help the wearer’s confidence
- Avoid using boiling water to sterilize the denture, because hot water can cause the denture to lose its shape
- When you’re not wearing the denture, soak it in denture cleanser or water
- If you wear a partial denture, remove it before brushing your natural teeth
- To avoid misplacing your denture, store it in the same place after removal
