Types of Dentures

Dentures are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. With advancements in technology and denture design, your options are now far more comfortable, effective, and affordable than ever before! We offer various types, each tailored to meet your specific needs:

  • Complete Dentures: Ideal for when all teeth are missing. They rest on the gums and can be conventional (placed after the gum tissue has healed) or immediate (placed immediately after teeth removal).
  • Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain. These are attached to a metal framework that connects to your natural teeth.
  • Upper/Lower Dentures: Specifically designed to fit either the upper or lower jaw, providing a natural appearance and comfortable fit.

Are There Alternatives to Dentures?

If dentures aren’t the best option for your smile or lifestyle, we offer many alternatives to traditional dentures, which include:

  • Dental Implants : Offering a more permanent solution, implants provide stability and prevent bone loss.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: A hybrid option where dentures are anchored by implants for improved comfort and function.

Dentures FAQs

How long will my new dentures last?

With proper care, dentures can last several years, often up to 10 years. Over time, they may require repair or adjustment due to normal wear.

There may be a brief adjustment period, but you should be able to eat a normal diet and speak clearly before too long. Dr. Kostrzewski can provide tips to help you adapt more quickly, such as transitioning from a soft diet to more complex food textures over a period of time.

Regular cleaning, handling them carefully, and keeping them moist when not in use are key to maintaining your dentures. Be sure to use denture-specific toothpaste and a soft bristle brush to avoid scratching or damaging your dentures. Be sure to clean your mouth every time before putting your dentures back in.

It’s generally recommended to remove them at night to allow your gum tissues to rest. This can aid in keeping your mouth healthy and pain-free.

Instead of using adhesive to keep your dentures in place, there is an option to use implants to provide stability. With these strategically placed implants, you can talk and eat confidently without worrying about your dentures sliding.

If your dentures are losing their shine, teeth whitening systems and products won’t be able to bring back their original look. Dentures are made of a different material than natural teeth. The best option you have for keeping a glowing smile is to keep up on daily cleaning and care, and sometimes use a denture-specific cleanser intended for stain removal.
