Learn More About Dentures

What are dentures?

Dentures are removable false teeth that can be taken out and placed back into the mouth. They are an appliance or prosthesis for people missing one, many, or all of their teeth.

Dentures replace missing teeth and help patients with eating and speech. They can also help keep remaining teeth in position and improve self-confidence.

Did You Know?

Dentures can be fitted the same day all your teeth are taken out.

Partial vs. Complete Dentures

There are two main types of dentures, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures replace all teeth and fit over the entire upper or lower jaw.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace a single tooth or a few teeth while working around the remaining natural teeth.

Common Denture Questions

Can dentures be worn during sleep?

It is best to take dentures out at night so the gums can rest. Sleeping with dentures can increase the risk of infection, gum disease, odor, yeast infection, and denture stomatitis.

Dentures put pressure on the gums and the bone underneath. Wearing them day and night can accelerate bone loss, which may make dentures loose and affect facial support over time.

Denture stomatitis is commonly treated by leaving dentures out at night, cleaning them carefully, and treating fungal infection with anti-fungal medication when needed.

How to Care for Dentures

A good oral hygiene routine can help dentures stay clean, comfortable, and fresh.

Remove and rinse your dentures after eating.

Brush dentures at least once a day with a soft toothbrush, denture brush, or denture cleanser.

Avoid toothpaste on dentures because it can be too abrasive.

Soak dentures overnight in water with denture cleaner.

Brush gums and tongue daily with an extra-soft toothbrush or damp washcloth.

Rinse dentures before putting them back into your mouth.

How long do dentures last?

A denture will usually last from 5 to 7 years, though proper care can help extend that timeline.

Signs dentures may need to be replaced

Redness or inflammation beneath the denture bases.
Adhesives are needed more than once daily.
The dentures will not stay in place by themselves.
The patient cannot comfortably wear the removable prostheses.
The denture is unstable, discolored, cracked, broken, missing teeth, or no longer fits well.
It has been more than 5 years since the denture was fabricated.

Eating With Dentures

Eating with dentures is not exactly like eating with natural teeth. Chewing on only one side can loosen dentures and cause slipping, so give yourself time to adjust.

Helpful eating tips

Start with soft, non-sticky food.
Cut food into small pieces.
Chew slowly using both sides of the mouth.
