What are dentures?

Dentures are artificial replacement teeth that take the place of missing or extracted permanent teeth. They function, look, and feel like your natural teeth to perfect a beautiful smile. Nova Dental Partners provides specialized dentures to match your goals. They customize restorative dental treatments based on your oral health history, preferences, and desired outcome.

Which benefits do dentures offer?

The advantages of choosing dentures at Nova Dental Partners include:

• Beautiful smile
• Natural-looking teeth
• No gaps
• Clearer speech
• Less adjacent teeth shifting
• Easier chewing
• Self-confidence

You’re often able to pick the type of dentures you prefer.

What are the different forms of dentures?

Examples of the different dentures available at Nova Dental Partners include partial dentures that replace some of your natural teeth and full dentures, which replace all of your teeth. Dentures can be removable or fixed (non-removable and permanent). 

Implant-supported dentures are securely anchored in place by dental implants, which are metal posts inserted into your jawbone that support artificial teeth. 

Am I a candidate for dentures?

If you’re missing permanent teeth or need an extraction, you can take advantage of dentures. The specific type that’s right for you depends on your jawbone strength, mouth structure, and other factors. 

Your dentist reviews your goals, discusses your options, and creates a personalized treatment plan. If your teeth are decaying or severely damaged, you might first undergo tooth extraction. 

What should I expect when receiving dentures?

What happens when receiving dentures depends on the type you choose. If you need dental implants, your dentist numbs the area and inserts tiny metal posts into your jawbone to anchor permanent dentures. They may scan your mouth to fit you for traditional (removable) dentures. Your dental team ensures a comfortable fit and discusses how to care for your new teeth.

How should I protect my dentures?

Take good care of your dentures by cleaning them regularly and not chewing on ice or other hard objects. You take removable dentures out at night to reduce bacteria and rest your gums. Dentures are long-lasting and strong, but call the Nova Dental Partners office if they become loose, damaged, broken, or lost.
