What Are Dentures?

Dentures are sets of prosthetic teeth that replace natural teeth lost by trauma, decay, or gum disease. Missing teeth pose problems for oral health as well as affect the look of your smile. Dentures play a valuable role in restoring oral function. They look like natural teeth and either replace a full arch or a few lost teeth.

If you’re familiar with old-fashioned dentures, you may be in for a pleasant surprise when you see modern versions. Today, dentures look very similar to natural, healthy teeth.

At Dental Partners of Boston, we empower our patients with long-lasting, healthy smiles through thorough preventive dentistry. Caring for your teeth and keeping up to date with dental checks maximizes your ability to keep your natural teeth.

However, accidents and injuries happen. Dental diseases and general wear and tear can take their toll. If you’ve lost natural teeth, our Boston orthodontists may recommend dentures.

Complete Dentures

There are two main types of dentures—complete and partial. Complete dentures or full dentures are ideally suited to patients who have lost all or nearly all of their natural teeth. They replace entire arches, enabling you to eat, talk, and smile confidently. In some cases, our orthodontist may recommend complete dentures for patients who haven’t yet lost all of their teeth. If your remaining teeth are decayed or too damaged, a dentist at Dental Partners of Boston will remove them before taking impressions.

An experienced and skilled dental technician uses the impressions to fabricate your custom-made dentures. While your permanent set is being crafted, your orthodontist will fit temporaries. Once your complete dentures are ready, we will fit them, secure them, and ensure you’re 100% happy with your new smile. They must fit like a glove, so we make sure everything is perfect before you leave our dental clinic.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for patients who need to replace just a few missing teeth rather than an entire arch. Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, they often feature a gum-colored base for a natural appearance. Typically, partial dentures are removable and easily clip into place, providing a comfortable and convenient solution.

Dentures may be the right solution for you. Call us if you have questions about complete or partial dentures.

Things To Know

It’s understandable to have questions and maybe even some concerns if this is your first experience with dentures. If you’re exploring your options, here is some useful information before you make a decision:

Can take time to adapt: It’s very common for dentures to feel slightly odd at first, but within a couple of weeks, you won’t even notice them. At first, your tongue and your gums need to adjust to the new appliance, so it’s a good idea to practice speaking and reading aloud.
Designed to look as lifelike as possible: You shouldn’t have any reservations or concerns about the appearance of your smile.
Can affect your speech in the short term: You might find certain words or sounds harder to pronounce than others. Read aloud, and practice talking. This will help you get used to communicating with your dentures.
Can take a couple of weeks to adjust to eating: Start with soft foods that are easy to chew and diversify your diet gradually.

Why Is It Important To Replace Missing Teeth?

Missing teeth can have a negative impact on the look of the smile, as well as your oral health. If you have gaps in your smile, you may find that the remaining teeth start to move out of position, your speech may be less clear, and you might also find it more difficult to keep your teeth clean. Losing natural teeth can also affect nutrition as you may struggle to eat some foods. It can also cause you to feel self-conscious. Dentures provide a solution to all these problems.

Taking Care of Your Dentures

As the shape of the mouth changes constantly, we advise patients to check in with us on a regular basis to keep an eye on their fit. If dentures don’t fit properly, they can rub the gums and cause sore spots. We also strongly advise our patients to take good care of their dentures, clean them frequently, and store them in safe places. We provide you with cleaning tips and tricks, but if you have any questions, we’re just a phone call away.

It’s important to keep your dentures moist when not in your mouth. This prevents them from losing their shape and becoming brittle. If they develop any issues we can help with repairs and denture replacements.
