What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Made from durable materials like acrylic resin or a combination of resin and metal frameworks, dentures are custom-crafted to fit your mouth comfortably. There are two main types of dentures:
- Complete Dentures: Replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures: Fill gaps left by missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth.
Modern dentures are designed to look and function like natural teeth, offering a practical solution for patients who have lost teeth due to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. With proper care, dentures can significantly enhance your quality of life.
Types of Dentures We Offer
At Newark Dental Associates, we provide a variety of denture options customized to your needs:
- Complete Dentures: Ideal for replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures: A great solution for patients with remaining teeth, these are designed to fill gaps and prevent teeth from shifting.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These offer superior stability by anchoring to dental implants, making them feel more like natural teeth.
- Immediate Dentures: A temporary solution provided right after tooth extraction to help you transition to your final dentures.
Our Newark dentist will guide you through selecting the best option for your lifestyle, preferences, and budget.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer numerous advantages beyond replacing missing teeth, including:
- Restoring your smile and boosting confidence.
- Improving your ability to chew and speak.
- Supporting facial appearance by preventing sagging caused by missing teeth.

What to Expect During the Denture Process
Getting dentures involves several steps to create a comfortable, precise fit. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough exam, including X-rays, to assess your oral health and plan your treatment.
-
Impressions: We take highly accurate molds of your mouth to create custom-fit dentures.
-
Try-Ins and Adjustments: You’ll try on temporary dentures to fine-tune their fit, color, and shape.
-
Final Placement: Once your permanent dentures are ready, we’ll confirm they fit comfortably and look natural.
It’s common to experience minor irritation, increased saliva flow, or slight difficulty speaking as your mouth adjusts to the new dentures. These issues typically resolve within a few weeks. Our dental team will provide tips to help you adapt more quickly.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential for keeping your dentures in excellent condition and protecting your oral health. Follow these tips:
- Clean your dentures daily with a denture brush and denture cleaning solution to remove food particles, bacteria, and denture adhesive.
- Store dentures in a soaking solution overnight to maintain their shape and prevent drying.
- Rinse dentures thoroughly before placing them in your mouth, especially after using denture cleaners.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and soft tissues with a soft-bristled brush to maintain healthy circulation.
- Avoid chewing gum and sticky or hard foods that could damage your dentures.
We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure your dentures last as long as possible.
