Complete Dentures in Glenmont, NY

Are you anxious to replace missing teeth but hesitate because you’re afraid that dentures will look fake and obvious? This is a common misconception, but today we design beautiful dentures that are fully customized to fit well, look natural, and complement your appearance.

Dentures That Look Like Natural Teeth

You don’t have to sacrifice your appearance and confidence to enjoy teeth that function properly. Your dentures will be made at a dental lab by trained technicians who are skilled in crafting artificial teeth that look as close to natural teeth as possible. We can provide you with choices of different denture teeth shades and shapes to complement your facial features, skin tone, and even hair color.  Each artificial tooth is placed individually, allowing for all the natural variations that occur with natural teeth. This ensures that your new dentures don’t look fake or one-size-fits-all. 

As we go through the process, we’ll create a mockup of your new dentures so you can see exactly what they’ll look like when finished. This allows you to make changes to the positioning, shade, and even size of the teeth. This extra step means that you’re in control of the outcome and we can help you achieve the exact results you’re looking for.

How Complete Dentures Work at our Ravena, NY Office

If you require full mouth extractions due to severe tooth decay or gum disease, dentures will be your best replacement option. The upper part of a complete denture creates a suction effect with your palate and will stay in place when made correctly. Lower dentures don’t have the suction effect but should remain stable in the mouth.

After you get your new dentures in Ravena, you’ll experience an adjustment period – everyone does. You’ll need to get used to the new feel and learn to speak and eat with the dentures in place. But after you’ve spent some time with them, you’ll see that wearing dentures is as easy as wearing your glasses. 

We Support You Through the Process

Like many people, you may feel a bit overwhelmed when facing the prospect of having new dentures placed. But you can rest assured that our dentists be with you to guide you through the entire process and answer your questions. You have every right to feel confident and in control of your treatment, and we respect whatever decision you make. 

Are you missing several teeth or living with the discomfort of older dentures that fit poorly and don’t look natural? Please give our Glenmont dental office a call. We’ll be happy to arrange a consultation so you can take the first step to a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Much like your natural teeth, your dentures require regular maintenance for you to maintain good oral health. Because we offer dentures to replace lost teeth, you can be assured that food debris will build upon them both in look and function. In Glenmont, NY, routine removal of this build-up will keep your dentures looking and feeling great.

Daily Denture Maintenance

When you remove your dentures, rinse them thoroughly with warm, clear water. Then, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner, you’ll gently brush all denture surfaces to catch any leftover food particles. Finally, we recommend you rinse your dentures again and place them in a container or glass for safe-keeping.

Periodic Deep-Cleaning Is a Good Idea

Due to the accumulation of unseen bacteria and debris, we recommend using a deep-cleaning soaking solution to address what remains after daily cleanings. These are usually in tablet form and are specially designed to be safe for dentures. After you’ve finished soaking your dentures for the recommended period, you should rinse them very well to avoid any mouth irritation caused by the leftover cleaner.

Things to Avoid When Cleaning Dentures

  • Avoid stiff-bristled brushes
  • Don’t use abrasive cleaners
  • No cleaners with bleach
  • Definitely don’t soak in very hot or boiling water.

Dentures in Delmar, NY, are dental appliances that replace missing teeth, and we primarily characterize them because they are removable from your mouth. Complete dentures replace an entire row of teeth to fit over an entire jaw, while partial dentures restore between one and several teeth with adjacent natural teeth.

Denture Structure Framework

We typically divide dentures into two parts, the dental restoration and the underlying framework. The top portion is the artificial teeth portion made from a special plastic called acrylic resin. This type of plastic is safe and durable while also being lightweight. Acrylic is also cost-effective.

The acrylic restorations are attached to the dental framework that provides structure and fit. For a complete denture, this framework will likely be a plastic plate that adheres to your palate and gums. Partial dentures may use a variety of frameworks, including metal wireframes that have attachments to secure your partial to nearby healthy teeth.

Denture Lifespan

While the acrylic resin is durable, your everyday biting and chewing will eventually wear down your artificial teeth portion, causing bite and alignment issues. In some instances, your dentist will be able to repair your existing dentures to correct their fit and function.

A good rule of thumb is that you may need to replace your dentures every five to ten years if you properly maintain them.

Dentures and partials in Glenmont, NY restore function and aesthetics when some or all of your teeth are missing. Because they play such an essential role in your day-to-day life, keeping them in excellent condition is crucial.

Part of denture care includes keeping your prosthetic clean and free from bacteria. We recommend a denture bath for overnight soaks. You can also add a cleaning tablet to the bath to help get rid of bacteria. Your denture bath water should be room temperature—not too hot or too cold.

You can also brush your denture with a denture toothbrush and cleaning polish. It’s essential to use a denture toothbrush and paste because traditional brushes and fluoride toothpaste can scratch your prosthetic.

All products—denture bath, cleaning tablets, denture toothbrush, and polish—can be purchased in your local drugstore.

Besides these tips, you can also take your denture or partial to the dentist for a professional cleaning.

Other recommendations for keeping your denture or partial in top shape include talking to your dentist if the prosthetic cracks, becomes damaged, or is no longer fitting properly.

Local patients suffering tooth loss often seek restoration options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures in Glenmont, NY.

Dentures are one of the oldest tooth replacement options around. They have been time-tested, modernized, and are still used because they are practical, natural-looking, and affordable.

We offer complete dentures, partials, and implant-retained dentures in our dental office.

Complete dentures restore teeth on a plate or arch that stand in for complete tooth loss. The plate or arch is gum-colored, as are the restoring teeth. And each denture is custom-made for each patient, including fit and color.

Partials work similarly to complete dentures but with the addition of clips for extra support. Also, partial dentures depend on healthy remaining teeth for added stabilization.

Implant-supported dentures are fixed to the gum with four to six dental implant posts—screwlike restoration roots.

The denture process starts with a consultation. If your Glenmont, NY dentist finds that dentures are right for you, we take impressions, and a trusted lab relies on our results to fabricate your new smile. Then your dentist makes all final adjustments to ensure proper fit and function.
