Missing teeth can lead to various complications, including shifting teeth, bone loss, and even changes in your facial shape. Well-fitted dentures can prevent these issues, ensuring your oral health is maintained. Signs that you may need dentures include:
- Missing several or all teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Uncomfortable or ill-fitting existing dentures
Types of Dentures Available
Full Dentures
Full dentures are designed for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth, either upper or lower. These custom-made prosthetics fit snugly over the gums, restoring full dental functionality and giving you a natural, complete smile.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some healthy teeth, partial dentures can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. These dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth and are removable for easy cleaning.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For a more secure and long-lasting solution, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option provides superior stability and comfort, as the dentures remain firmly in place without adhesives.

How the Denture Fitting Process Works
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, we will assess your dental health and discuss the best type of denture for your needs. This consultation helps us understand your expectations and ensures the right fit for your lifestyle and oral health needs.
Impressions and Measurements
To create perfectly fitting dentures, we take detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions, along with precise measurements, are sent to a dental lab where your custom dentures are made.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, we will schedule a fitting appointment. During this visit, the dentures will be adjusted to fit comfortably in your mouth. Any necessary tweaks will be made to ensure they fit snugly without causing discomfort.
Final Fitting and Care Instructions
After your dentures are fully adjusted, we’ll provide you with care instructions to ensure they remain in excellent condition. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to check on your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last between 5-10 years. Over time, they may need adjustments as your gums and jawbone naturally change.
2. Are dentures uncomfortable?
Initially, dentures may feel a bit unfamiliar. However, with time, most patients adapt and find them comfortable. We work closely with you during the fitting process to ensure your dentures fit properly and cause no discomfort.
3. Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, dentures will allow you to eat most foods, although you may need to adjust your chewing habits initially. Hard or sticky foods may require caution, but implant-supported dentures provide greater stability and chewing efficiency.
4. How do I clean my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly after each meal to remove any debris and store them in a water-based solution when not in use.
5. Will my dentures look natural?
Absolutely. Our custom-made dentures are designed to match your natural teeth as closely as possible in terms of color, shape, and size. Our goal is to ensure your dentures look and feel just like real teeth.
