What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures are removable dental prosthetics that replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. They rest comfortably on the gums and are custom-designed to fit your mouth, support your facial structure, and provide a natural smile.

We offer several types of full dentures:

• Conventional Dentures: Fabricated after teeth have been removed and the gums have fully healed.
  
• Immediate Dentures: Placed right after extractions, so you never have to go without teeth.
  
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Securely attached to dental implants for enhanced stability and function.
  

Whether you’re replacing an old set or getting dentures for the first time, we’ll help you find the best solution for your needs.

Benefits of Full Dentures

Replacing missing teeth with full dentures offers many life-changing benefits:

• Restored Appearance: Dentures support your facial muscles and restore the look of your natural smile.
  
• Improved Speech: Replace missing teeth that affect your ability to speak clearly.
  
• Enhanced Nutrition: Chew your favorite foods with comfort and confidence.
  
• Customized Fit: Each set of dentures is crafted just for your jaw and facial shape.
  
• Affordable Tooth Replacement: A cost-effective solution for complete tooth loss.

Our Full Denture Process

We take a personalized approach to designing dentures that are functional, secure, and look like your natural teeth.

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We begin with a full oral exam, including digital imaging, to assess your jawbone, gums, and discuss denture options.

Step 2: Impressions & Measurements

Custom impressions are taken to ensure your dentures will fit comfortably and function properly.

Step 3: Fabrication

Your dentures are created in a dental lab using advanced materials for a lifelike appearance and reliable strength.

Step 4: Fitting & Adjustments

Once your dentures are ready, we ensure they fit properly and make adjustments as needed. We provide detailed care instructions and offer follow-up appointments for long-term comfort.

Caring for Your Full Dentures

To keep your dentures looking and feeling great:

• Clean them daily using a soft brush and denture cleanser
  
• Rinse after eating to remove food particles
  
• Soak overnight in a denture-safe solution
  
• Avoid using hot water, which may warp the material
  
• Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor oral health and denture fit
  

Proper care can significantly extend the life of your dentures and preserve your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a full set of dentures?

The cost of full dentures varies based on the type, materials, and any preparatory treatments. We provide transparent pricing and offer financing options through CareCredit to make treatment affordable.

What is the downside to full dentures?

Full dentures may take some time to adjust to and can sometimes slip or cause discomfort without a proper fit. However, regular adjustments and implant-supported options greatly reduce these concerns.

How long can you wear full dentures?

You should wear your dentures during the day and remove them at night to give your gums time to rest.

How long do permanent dentures last?

With proper care, a quality set of full dentures can last 5 to 10 years, though they may need relining or replacement over time due to changes in gum and bone structure.
