How Dentures Can Help After Tooth Loss

Dentures are removable dental restorations designed to replace missing teeth and restore important parts of everyday oral function. Depending on how many teeth are missing, dentures may replace an entire arch or fill several spaces while some natural teeth remain.

At Clove Dental Riverpark, we can assess your remaining teeth, gums, and overall oral health before discussing whether dentures are suitable for you. A well-planned denture can help restore your ability to chew and speak while also improving the appearance of a smile affected by tooth loss.

Dentures are made to fit the shape of your mouth and can be designed to provide a natural-looking appearance. Your treatment plan will depend on the number of teeth missing and the condition of the teeth you still have.

What Can Dentures Restore in Your Daily Life?

Replacing missing teeth can affect more than the appearance of your smile. Dentures can provide support for everyday activities that may have become difficult after tooth loss.

More Comfortable Eating: Replacing missing teeth can make it easier to manage a wider range of foods and use your mouth more effectively while chewing.
Support for Speech: Missing teeth can affect the way certain sounds are formed. A properly fitted denture can help restore the structure needed for clearer speech.
A More Complete Smile: Dentures replace visible gaps and can be designed to complement the appearance of your natural features.
Support for Facial Appearance: Replacing lost teeth can help provide support around the mouth and reduce some of the changes associated with extensive tooth loss.

What Happens When You Get Dentures?

Getting dentures involves more than simply choosing a set of replacement teeth. We first assess your mouth and then use measurements to develop a restoration suited to your needs.

Oral Assessment: We examine your gums, remaining teeth, and areas affected by tooth loss. We’ll discuss your concerns and determine what type of denture may be appropriate.
Measurements and Impressions: We take the information needed to create a denture that fits the shape of your mouth and works with your remaining teeth when applicable.
Denture Creation: Your denture is produced according to the measurements and specifications established during your treatment planning.
Fitting Appointment: Once the denture is ready, we check its fit and make appropriate adjustments to improve comfort and function.
Ongoing Review: We can assess the fit over time and address concerns that may develop as your mouth changes.

What Can Affect the Cost of Dentures?

Denture costs vary depending on the type of restoration, the number of teeth being replaced, the materials used, and whether additional dental treatment is needed before the denture can be made.

At Clove Dental Riverpark, we can assess your individual needs and explain the recommended treatment and associated costs before you proceed. We can also discuss applicable insurance benefits and payment options. The Riverpark office lists a range of accepted dental insurance plans, although coverage depends on your specific policy.

Rather than applying one price to every patient, we provide treatment information based on the denture option that is appropriate for your mouth.

Caring for Your Dentures Between Visits

Good denture care can help keep your restoration clean and comfortable while protecting your remaining oral tissues and natural teeth.

Clean Your Denture Daily: Follow the cleaning instructions we provide and use products suitable for your denture material.
Clean Your Remaining Teeth: If you still have natural teeth, continue brushing and cleaning between them every day.
Handle the Denture Carefully: Hold your denture securely when removing or cleaning it to reduce the risk of accidental damage.
Store It Properly: Follow our instructions for keeping your denture when it is not being worn.
Keep Dental Visits: Regular appointments allow us to monitor your oral health and check whether your denture continues to fit properly.
