What Are Dentures?

Dentures offer a removable and comfortable way to replace teeth lost due to decay, injury, or extraction. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore the natural appearance of your smile. By filling spaces left by missing teeth, dentures can make it easier to chew a wider variety of foods and speak more clearly. They also support the lips and cheeks, helping maintain the natural shape of your face. Our team will design your dentures around your individual needs to provide a secure fit and dependable everyday function.

Types of Dentures We Offer

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures replace an entire arch of teeth when all the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They are custom-made to fit the shape of your gums and restore the appearance of your smile. Complete dentures can also improve your ability to chew and speak after extensive tooth loss. Because they are removable, they can be taken out for daily cleaning and care.

Overdentures

Overdentures are designed to fit over remaining natural teeth or connect to dental implants for additional support. This added foundation can provide greater stability and reduce unwanted movement while eating or speaking. Each restoration is customized to fit comfortably and complement the appearance of your smile. Your dentist can determine whether natural teeth or implants are suitable for supporting an overdenture.

Benefits of Dentures

Affordable and Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement

Dentures provide a cost-effective way to replace missing teeth and rebuild your smile. Each restoration is designed to complement your facial features and create a natural appearance.

Supports Your Gums and Jaw

Dentures cover areas left exposed by missing teeth and help distribute pressure while you chew. They also support the surrounding oral structures and help maintain the natural shape of your face.

Restores Confidence in Your Smile

Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious when smiling, speaking, or spending time with others. Well-fitted dentures restore the appearance of your teeth so you can share your smile more confidently.

Makes Speaking and Eating Easier

Dentures restore important functions affected by tooth loss, including chewing and pronunciation. After an adjustment period, you may be able to speak more clearly and comfortably enjoy a wider variety of foods.

The Process for Getting Dentures

The denture process begins with a consultation that includes X-rays and a thorough examination with Dr. Hamid Barkhordar. During your visit, Dr. Barkhordar will discuss your dental needs, preferences, and goals before recommending an appropriate denture option. If any damaged or unhealthy teeth need to be removed, the necessary extractions will be carefully planned and completed. Our team will then take detailed impressions of your mouth using modern dental technology and equipment. These measurements will be used to create dentures designed for a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and dependable function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

What is the Process for Getting Dentures?

The process begins with an examination, X-rays, and a discussion about your tooth replacement needs. Any necessary extractions or other dental treatments are completed before impressions and measurements are taken. Once your dentures are ready, your dentist will check their fit and make adjustments to improve comfort and function.

What Are the Materials Used to Make Dentures?

Denture teeth are commonly made from durable acrylic resin or porcelain designed to resemble natural tooth enamel. The base is often created from gum-colored acrylic, while partial dentures may also include a metal or flexible framework. The materials selected will depend on the type of denture, your oral health, and your dentist’s recommendations.

How Are Dentures Made?

Dentures are created using detailed impressions, measurements, and records of your bite. A dental laboratory uses this information to shape the base and position the replacement teeth for a personalized fit. Your dentist may schedule trial fittings before the final denture is completed and adjusted.

How Do Dentures Work?

Dentures replace missing teeth and restore surfaces needed for biting, chewing, and speaking. Complete dentures rest over the gums, while partial and implant-supported options use additional attachments or support for stability. A proper fit helps distribute chewing pressure and keeps the restoration in its intended position.

At What Age Can I Receive Dentures?

There is no minimum or maximum age that automatically determines whether someone can receive dentures. Eligibility is based on tooth loss, oral health, jaw development, and the condition of the gums and supporting bone. A dental examination is necessary to determine whether dentures are appropriate for a particular patient.

Can I Eat Normally With Dentures?

Dentures can help you return to a more varied diet, although eating with them takes some practice. Begin with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually introduce firmer options as you become comfortable. Very hard, sticky, or chewy foods may need to be limited to prevent discomfort or damage.

How Do I Maintain My Dentures?

Remove and clean your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and a cleaner made specifically for removable restorations. When they are not being worn, store them as directed to prevent them from drying out or losing their shape. Continue cleaning your gums, tongue, and remaining teeth, and attend regular dental visits for examinations and adjustments.
