Tooth Replacement

A full smile, at any age.

Losing teeth affects more than how you look. It changes how you chew, how you speak and even what you choose to eat. A well-made denture brings a lot of that back.

Dr. Patel takes careful measurements and works with you on tooth shape and shade, so your dentures look like your smile, not a generic one.

If loose dentures have been a frustration in the past, ask about implant-retained dentures. Just a few implants can make a big difference in how secure they feel.

Your Options

Three ways to replace missing teeth.

The right choice depends on how many teeth you are missing and the health of your gums and bone.

Partial Dentures

Replace a few missing teeth by clipping onto your remaining natural teeth. Removable for easy cleaning.

Complete Dentures

A full set of upper or lower teeth for patients missing all teeth in an arch. Custom fit to your gums.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Dentures that snap onto dental implants so they do not slip when you eat or talk.

Getting used to new dentures

The first few weeks take some practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and chew on both sides at once to keep the denture stable. Reading out loud helps your speech adjust quickly. Sore spots are common early on. Come back and we will adjust the fit, that is part of the process.

Caring for your dentures

Rinse after eating and brush your dentures daily with a soft brush
Take them out at night and keep them in water or a soaking solution
Brush your gums and any remaining teeth too
See us once a year so we can check the fit and look for any sore spots or changes

Relines and repairs

Your gums and jawbone slowly change shape after teeth are lost, so dentures can loosen over time. A reline reshapes the inside of the denture for a snug fit again. If a denture cracks or a tooth breaks off, bring it in and we will let you know whether it can be repaired.

Frequently asked questions

How long do dentures last?

Dentures usually last 5 to 8 years before they need replacing, with relines in between as your gums change.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

We recommend taking them out at night. It gives your gums a rest and helps prevent irritation and infection.

What is the difference between dentures and implant-retained dentures?

Regular dentures rest on your gums and are held by suction or clasps. Implant-retained dentures snap onto implants placed in the jaw, so they are much more stable.

Does insurance cover dentures?

Many dental plans cover part of the cost of dentures. We will check your benefits and explain your options.
