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:
- Replace several missing teeth
- Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch
- Improve chewing ability
- Support facial structure
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
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
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:
- You are missing multiple teeth
- You have lost all teeth in an arch
- Your remaining teeth cannot support other replacement options
- You prefer a removable solution
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.
Step 1: Consultation
We begin with a detailed exam and discussion of your goals. If needed, digital images are taken to assess bone and gum structure.
Step 2: Impressions
Step 3: Fitting
Step 4: Follow-Up Adjustments
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:
- Mild soreness
- Changes in speech
- Increased saliva
- Sensitivity while chewing
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:
- Type of denture
- Number of teeth replaced
- Materials used
- Laboratory customization
- Insurance coverage
Some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost of dentures. Coverage varies by provider.
Cambridge dental clinic 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 in Cambridge when replacing missing teeth.
Stability
Dentures rest on the gums and are removable. Implants are anchored in the jawbone and do not move during chewing.
Maintenance
Dentures must be removed for cleaning. Implants are cared for similarly to natural teeth.
Bone Support
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:
- Removing dentures at night
- Cleaning them daily with a denture brush
- Soaking them in appropriate solution
- Brushing your gums gently
- Attending regular dental checkups
Over time, dentures may require adjustments due to natural changes in the gums and jawbone.
Routine visits allow us to monitor fit and comfort.
