Candidates For Dentures
If you have lost several teeth or are missing all of your natural teeth, dentures may be a practical way to restore your smile and make everyday activities easier. Today’s dentures can look natural and are designed with comfort in mind. You may even know someone who wears dentures without realizing it. If you are considering dentures, you may be wondering whether they are right for you.
You May Be A Good Candidate For Dentures If You:
- Want to replace multiple missing teeth or an entire row of teeth.
- Are willing to avoid smoking and other tobacco products to support your oral health.
- Have enough healthy jawbone to support your dentures, or are willing to explore treatment options that can help.
- Do not experience ongoing dry mouth that could make wearing dentures less comfortable.
- Are committed to cleaning, storing, and caring for your dentures properly at home.
- Plan to continue regular dental visits so we can check your dentures, gums, and overall oral health.
How Do I Take Care Of My Dentures?
Proper denture care can help keep your dentures clean, comfortable, and looking their best. Regular cleanings and examinations are also important, even if you no longer have your natural teeth. During your appointments, we will check how your dentures fit and examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and the tissues throughout your mouth. Your oral health involves much more than your teeth, and we are here to help you protect it.
To Care For Your Dentures At Home:
- Take your dentures out before bed to give your gums and mouth a chance to rest.
- Place your dentures in warm water when you are not wearing them, with or without a denture-cleaning solution.
- If your partial dentures have metal clasps, soak them only in warm water unless your dentist recommends otherwise.
- Keep dentures moist when they are out of your mouth to help prevent them from drying out or changing shape.
- Never use hot water to soak your dentures, as excessive heat can cause them to warp.
- Clean and gently massage your gums after removing your dentures.
- If brushing your gums feels uncomfortable, soften your toothbrush with warm water or gently wipe your gums with a clean, damp cloth.
- If you wear partial dentures, continue brushing and caring for your remaining natural teeth as you normally would.

What Factors Affect The Cost Of Dentures?
Several factors can influence the total cost of your denture treatment, including:
