What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are designed to sit comfortably on the gums and restore the appearance of your smile.
Dentures can:
Each denture is custom-crafted to fit your mouth and match your natural appearance as closely as possible.
Types of Dentures
There are different types of dentures depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.
Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. They rest directly on the gums and are shaped to fit securely.
Full dentures help restore chewing function and provide support for facial muscles, which can improve overall appearance.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They attach to existing teeth for support and fill in gaps where teeth are missing.
Partial dentures help maintain spacing and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
During your consultation, we will determine which option is appropriate based on your oral health and needs.
Who Is a Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures may be recommended if:
Healthy gums are important for proper denture support. During your exam, we evaluate gum health and overall oral condition before recommending treatment.
Candidacy depends on your individual situation and treatment goals.
What to Expect When Getting Dentures
Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance.
We begin with a detailed exam and discussion of your goals. If needed, digital images are taken to assess bone and gum structure.
Precise impressions of your mouth are taken. These impressions are used to create custom dentures designed to fit your gums.
Once your dentures are ready, we check the fit carefully. Adjustments may be made to improve comfort and alignment.
It is common to require small adjustments as your mouth adapts. Follow-up visits help ensure the best possible fit.
The process is personalized for each patient.
Adjusting to Dentures
It takes time to adjust to wearing dentures. The first few weeks may feel different.
You may notice:
These changes are usually temporary. Eating soft foods and cutting food into smaller pieces can help during the adjustment period.
Most patients gradually adapt as muscles learn to hold the dentures in place. Follow-up appointments allow us to refine the fit if needed.
Dentures Cost in Cambridge
Many patients ask about dentures cost in Cambridge. The cost depends on several factors, including:
Some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost of dentures. Coverage varies by provider.
Riverfront Dental offers direct billing to most insurance plans and provides convenient payment options. We review treatment estimates before beginning care so you understand your options.
Dentures vs Dental Implants
Patients often compare dentures with dental implants when replacing missing teeth.
Dentures rest on the gums and are removable. Implants are anchored in the jawbone and do not move during chewing.
Dentures must be removed for cleaning. Implants are cared for similarly to natural teeth.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, which can help maintain bone structure. Dentures do not provide the same level of bone stimulation.
The right option depends on your oral health, preferences, and budget. A consultation allows us to discuss which solution may be appropriate for you.
Caring for Dentures
Proper care helps extend the life of your dentures and maintain oral health.
Helpful habits include:
Over time, dentures may require adjustments due to natural changes in the gums and jawbone.
Routine visits allow us to monitor fit and comfort.
Relines, Repairs and a Comfortable Long-Term Fit
Your mouth keeps changing over the years, so even a well-made denture sometimes needs an adjustment to keep fitting the way it should. Once natural teeth are gone, the gums and the bone underneath slowly change shape. That can leave a denture feeling looser than it did the day you got it. It happens to most people, and routine care takes care of it.
Regular check-ups let us catch those changes early, before a loose fit turns into a sore spot. Common maintenance includes:
If your dentures feel loose, click when you talk, or rub enough to bother you, you don't have to put up with it. These are usually quick fixes. Call (519) 621-2111 and we'll get you back to a fit that feels secure.
