Dentures are a crucial part of the oral, mental and physical health of people who wear them. For those who aren’t familiar with the process of getting and using them, it’s natural to have questions. The office of Elite Dental Spa is here to help!

Types of Dentures
Complete dentures are for those with no teeth. They sit on your gum line. The dentures are held in place by dental adhesive or dental implants. Partial dentures attach to existing natural teeth and sit on the gum line. They can also be held in place with dental implants.
Their Care
Remove them every night for cleaning and sanitizing. Use a denture brush or soft toothbrush along with denture paste to gently scrub every surface. Though dentures are made of very strong plastic, it’s not as durable as natural enamel, so regular toothpaste can scratch them. You can also soak them in a denture-cleaning solution; carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse the dentures thoroughly and soak them overnight in a water-based cleaning solution.
Adjusting to Them
It takes a bit of time to get used to wearing and eating with dentures. You’ll be able to eat normally after a short while, though sticky and hard foods may be an initial challenge. Never chew gum; it could break the seal and loosen the appliance.
Sleeping Overnight With Them In
It’s not a good idea. Your jawbones and gums need a break from the pressure that dentures assert.
Color-Coordinating A Partial to Existing Teeth
No problem! Prosthodontists are experts in matching the colors and shades of partials to remaining natural teeth.
The office of Elite Dental Spa has a well-established reputation for providing excellent care and compassionate service. New patients are always welcome to our state-of-the-art facility, your resource for the best in modern prosthodontics. Please call us to schedule an appointment.
Today, it’s easier than ever to replace missing teeth and achieve natural-looking, durable, and long-lasting results! Depending a patient’s dental needs, lifestyle, expectations of care, and budget, choices can include conventional fixed bridgework, dental implants, or removable partial and complete dentures. At the office of Elite Dental Spa, we’ll discuss all your options in care and answer all your questions as you choose the solution that’s right for you.
With advances in dental materials and technology, today’s dentures are more comfortable and realistic-looking than ever before.
Whether you wear partial or complete dentures, it’s essential to see the dentist for routine care. Besides checking the fit and condition of your dentures and making any necessary adjustments, you’ll also receive a comprehensive exam to check on the health of any remaining teeth as well the soft and hard tissues in and around the oral cavity.
A same-day denture offers an accelerated design and fabrication process that allows a patient to go from impression taking to denture insertion in a single day.
For patients who don’t want to wait after having teeth extracted, an immediate denture can be inserted the same day your teeth are removed. Sometime later you may need the denture reline to address any changes in its fit once the extraction sites have completely healed.
While no one wants to drop or break a partial or complete denture, accidents do happen. The good news is that in some cases, your partial or complete denture is reparable. It all depends on the extent of the damage. Don’t hesitate to contact our office if you’ve broken or damaged your denture. We’re happy to help.
The simple act of taking your partial denture in and out can cause certain types of metal clasps to loosen over time. When you come in for your checkup visit or contact our office for an adjustment, we’ll assess the fit of your partial and tighten the clasps for improved stability and comfort.
While rebuilding a complete smile is a worthwhile investment, our office is sensitive to the costs involved in dental care. We customized care and will discuss which treatment options address your needs, lifestyle, and budget. How much a new denture will cost depends on the type of the prosthesis, its design, and the materials used to fabricate the supportive base, teeth, and clasps or precision attachments. Dentures that include the placement of dental implants for added retention and stability typically involve additional costs.
If you have dental insurance, your coverage may include a new or replacement set of dentures. Our staff is happy to review your coverage with you to ensure you are maximizing your insurance benefits while minimizing any out of pocket expenses.
