Denture FAQs

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, removable cosmetic dentures provide a beautiful and functional solution. With our office’s skilled craftsmanship, dentures can look natural, restore chewing ability, and enhance confidence. They offer an affordable alternative to implants while still delivering a healthy, youthful smile. Whether replacing failing teeth or upgrading an old denture, Premier Dental can create a solution tailored to your needs.

  • 1. Traditional (Conventional) Dentures
    These are the classic dentures that replace all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. Made with an acrylic base that resembles your natural gums and durable denture teeth, they rely on suction or facial muscles for stability.

    2. Partial Dentures
    Partial dentures replace several missing teeth and attach to remaining teeth using metal or acrylic frameworks. Clasps and hooks help anchor the denture in place, improving chewing function while maintaining your natural teeth.

    3. Overdentures
    Overdentures fit over a few existing teeth or implants, which are specially prepared with abutments. This design allows the dentures to snap securely into place, offering greater stability and comfort.

    4. Precision Attachment Dentures
    Using crowns with special slots, these dentures lock into place without visible clasps. This highly cosmetic option requires strong, healthy teeth but offers the most natural appearance.

    5. Immediate Dentures
    If you’re planning to lose teeth, immediate dentures are created in advance so you never go without a full smile. While sometimes used as a temporary solution, they can become your final set with minor adjustments.

    6. Temporary Dentures (Stayplates)
    These are short-term solutions after extractions, helping you maintain function and appearance while your mouth heals before your final dentures are made.

    • Natural Appearance: Our office prides itself on working with state-of-the-art labs to craft incredibly realistic dentures, catered to fit your individual preference.

    • Cost-Effective: Dentures are one of the most affordable ways to replace missing teeth compared to bridges or implants.

    • Support Facial Structure: Dentures help maintain the fullness of your cheeks and lips, preventing a sunken appearance.

    • Improve Eating and Speaking: Properly fitted dentures can restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

    • Fit Can Change Over Time: Bone loss may cause dentures to loosen, making regular adjustments or relines necessary.

    • Adjustment Period: New dentures require time to get used to, and initial speech or chewing difficulties are common.

    • Jawbone Changes: Unlike implants, dentures don’t prevent bone loss, which may affect fit over the years.

    • Potential for Slippage: Loose dentures can move during eating or speaking, but adhesives or implant-supported options can improve stability.

    • Time to Fabricate: Creating a full set of dentures usually takes several weeks, and temporary solutions may be needed.

    • Brush your dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive toothpaste, and continue to clean your gums and cheeks.

    • Use denture cleaners or soak them in mild solutions to remove deposits.

    • Remove dentures at night to prevent irritation and fungal infections.

    • Visit our office every six months for checkups, oral cancer exams, and adjustments as needed.

    • Relines can restore the fit of dentures as bone shrinks, helping them feel like new again.
