Dentures are custom-made prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore both the look and function of your smile. Whether you’ve lost teeth from decay, gum disease, or injury, dentures provide a reliable and natural-looking solution. They help maintain your facial shape, improve speech clarity, and make it easier to chew comfortably.

At Queens Dental Design PLLC, we offer a variety of denture options made from durable materials such as acrylic resin, porcelain, or advanced dental polymers. Our dental team will help you choose the type of denture that best suits your needs based on how many teeth you are missing, your lifestyle, and your smile goals.

With proper care, dentures can last for many years. Cleaning them daily, handling them with care, and visiting your dentist for routine checkups will help ensure they stay comfortable, functional, and long-lasting.

The Procedure for Getting Dentures

The process of getting dentures begins with a complete dental examination and consultation. Your dentist will assess your oral health and take precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom dentures are designed and fabricated for an optimal fit.

Throughout the process, you may receive try-in models to ensure the dentures feel comfortable and look natural. Once your final dentures are ready, your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to achieve a secure, balanced fit. Follow-up visits help ensure your dentures continue to feel comfortable as your mouth adapts.

At Queens Dental Design PLLC, our dentures are crafted to resemble natural teeth as closely as possible. The gum-colored base fits snugly against your tissues, while the artificial teeth are shaped and shaded to complement your smile. Whether you need a full set of teeth or only a few replacements, dentures can greatly improve your quality of life.

Proper care is essential to keeping your dentures looking and functioning their best. Brush them daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner. Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to maintain their shape, moisture, and durability. Regular dental visits help ensure your dentures continue to fit correctly and comfortably.

The Different Types of Dentures

  • Full Dentures

Full (complete) dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They consist of a gum-colored acrylic base with natural-looking replacement teeth. These dentures stay in place through natural suction, your mouth’s anatomy, or with the help of denture adhesives.

  • Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. They use a combination of a gum-colored base, artificial teeth, and a metal or flexible framework. Clasps hold the partial denture securely around the remaining teeth, creating a stable and functional fit.

The Benefits of Dentures

  • Restored Appearance and Confidence

Dentures provide a natural-looking smile that enhances your facial appearance. Replacing missing teeth also helps support facial muscles, giving you a more youthful and confident look.

  • Improved Chewing and Speaking Ability

Missing teeth can make chewing difficult and affect speech. Dentures restore your chewing function and help you speak more clearly, allowing you to enjoy food and communicate comfortably.

  • Customization for a Perfect Fit

Modern dentures are carefully crafted to match your mouth’s anatomy. They are customized for comfort, stability, and aesthetics, helping you perform daily activities without irritation or slipping.

  • Affordability

Dentures are a cost-effective tooth replacement option compared to alternatives such as dental implants. Their affordability makes them accessible for many patients seeking to restore their smile.

If you are missing one or more teeth, your dentist may recommend dentures to restore your smile and your ability to chew and speak properly.
