What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. They’re designed to restore not just how your smile looks, but how it works. From eating and speaking to the way your face is supported, dentures play a major role in improving quality of life for anyone with tooth loss.
We offer both full dentures and partial dentures, along with immediate options to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Types of
Dentures We Offer
We provide multiple types of dentures to meet your specific needs:
Full Dentures – The best option when all natural teeth are missing in the upper or lower arch (or both). These dentures fit comfortably on your gums and are custom-made to look natural and fit well.
Partial Dentures – Best for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. They are secured with clasps or attachments.
Immediate Dentures – These are placed right after tooth extractions so you never have to go without teeth during healing. Once your mouth has healed, we’ll fit you for your final set.
Conventional Dentures – Placed after your gums have fully healed post-extraction.
We’ll take the time to talk through your options and help you choose what works best for your comfort, goals, and budget.
The Process of Getting Dentures
Here’s what the denture process typically looks like at Heart of Tradition Dental:
Consultation – We’ll examine your mouth, discuss your goals, and recommend the best denture type for you.
Impressions & Measurements – We take detailed impressions to ensure a precise, natural-looking fit.
Custom Fabrication – Your dentures are custom-crafted to match your smile and facial structure.
Fitting & Adjustments – We’ll make sure your dentures fit comfortably and make any tweaks if needed.
Ongoing Support – We're always here for adjustments, follow-ups, and long-term care.
How to Care
for Your Dentures
Taking good care of your dentures helps them last longer. Here are a few tips to keep your dentures in great shape:
-
Clean them daily: Brush your dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
-
Soak them overnight: Most dentures need to stay moist to keep their shape. Soak them in a denture-cleaning solution or water overnight.
-
Don’t use hot water: High heat can warp dentures, stick with lukewarm water when cleaning or soaking.
-
Maintain regular checkups: We’ll check the fit and condition of your dentures at your routine visits and make any needed adjustments to keep them effective.
Just like natural teeth, dentures benefit from daily care and professional attention.
