What are the denture options available?

Dentures are removable restorations designed to rest on your gums. Typically created from natural-looking teeth mounted on a gum-colored base, dentures can be complete or partial, depending on how many teeth we need to replace. 

  • Complete dentures: Complete dentures are an excellent solution when you have lost all your missing teeth in the lower or upper teeth. These dentures are secured by natural suction and dental adhesives.
  • Partials: These dentures are used when some teeth remain. They replace a few missing teeth in a row and are anchored securely to the surrounding teeth with detachable metal clasps.

Modern dentures look and feel like natural teeth. They are made from high-quality materials designed for aesthetics and resilience. We personalize your dentures to fit snugly in your mouth to provide comfort and stability. 

How do I care for my dentures?

It’s essential to clean your dentures daily to remove surface stains, bacteria, and food debris. Clean your dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush with non-abrasive toothpaste or antibacterial soap. When not using your dentures, soak them in water or a mild denture-soaking solution. Avoid hot water and harsh solutions to avoid denture damage. 

Take your dentures to the dentist for check-ups and thorough cleanings every six months. We’ll also make any adjustments to maintain their stability and comfort.

What is denture stabilization?

Traditional dentures are anchored in the mouth with adhesives and natural suction. Unfortunately, these mechanisms aren’t foolproof. Over time, your dentures become loose and unstable as your jawbone shrinks. 

Denture stabilization involves using denture implants to anchor your dentures. For this procedure, our Shelby Township implant dentist, Dr. Shakfa, places 4-6 implants at pre-determined locations in the jawbone. The implants will fuse with the jawbone over the next few months to form a stable foundation. We’ll attach your denture over the implants, restoring your function and aesthetics to near perfect. 

What are the benefits of dentures?

Do you want to replace your missing teeth with dentures? Here are the benefits you can expect.

  • Renewed ability to eat your favorite foods
  • Dentures stabilize your facial structures, giving you a younger, more confident look
  • Dentures are an affordable teeth replacement option
  • Whether fixed or removable, maintaining dentures isn’t cumbersome
  • Modern dentures are created to provide a life-like appearance
  • They are versatile to replace one or multiple teeth
  • They are created from durable materials and can last many years with proper care

Dentures can feel awkward for the first time, but it won’t take long before you get used to your new teeth. Initially, you might experience some discomfort or a feeling of bulkiness in your mouth, and speaking or chewing might feel different. However, with consistent wear and a little patience, most people adapt to their new dentures within a few days. Your gums and oral muscles gradually learn to accommodate the dentures, making daily activities like eating and speaking feel more natural.
