How Do Dentures Work?

Dentures utilize suction and/or adhesives to stay in place, making them easier to put in and take out than other dental prosthetics. The material used in dentures has become more durable and comfortable in recent years, allowing patients to feel more confident while wearing them.

Dentures are made up of two parts: the base and the false teeth. The base is designed to fit snugly against the gums, allowing for a secure fit and preventing any slipping or movement of the denture. The false teeth are crafted to match the patient’s natural teeth in both color and shape.

Dentures should be periodically adjusted as the patient’s gums and jawbone change over time. This ensures that they remain comfortable and snug against the gums, preventing any possible slipping or mouth sores from occurring. In addition, regular check-ups are necessary to make sure that the dentures remain in good condition and that any changes in the patient’s oral health can be addressed.

The cost of dentures will vary depending on the type and complexity of your case. We can provide an estimate once we have evaluated your mouth and discussed all available treatment options. We also offer financing options so you can break up the cost into manageable payments over time.
