Denture Types for Any Situation
Modern dentures come in many different shapes and sizes to fit the unique needs of your oral health situation. Complete dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth. They’re generally made from acrylic or porcelain and rely on natural suction or adhesives to remain in place.
Partial dentures are customized to fit around remaining teeth and fill in gaps of missing teeth. They can be made with either a plastic or metal framework and rely on clasps to remain secure. Both dentures and partial dentures are removable, making hygiene maintenance easy.

FAQ: Important Denture placement Questions
New Bedford, MA
To care for dentures, clean them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and rinse after meals. At night, soak them in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape. Also, clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth to prevent infection. Regular dental check-ups help ensure proper fit and monitor oral health.
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and rest on the gums, used when all teeth are missing. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and are secured with clasps to remaining natural teeth, preserving alignment and filling gaps. Full dentures offer complete replacement, while partial dentures fill specific gaps.
Implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants in the jawbone, offering more stability than traditional dentures. They improve chewing, speaking, and comfort by preventing slipping or shifting. These dentures can be removable or fixed and are ideal for those with sufficient bone who seek a more permanent, secure option.
Dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years. Over time, wear and tear, along with changes in your mouth’s shape, may require adjustments, relining, or even replacement. Regular dental check-ups are important to ensure your dentures remain comfortable and functional, and to address any changes that may affect their fit or durability.
The affordability of dentures with insurance depends on your specific dental plan. Many dental offices offer financing options or payment plans to help manage the expense. Many insurance policies cover a portion of the cost, typically ranging from 50% to 80%, depending on the type of dentures and your coverage details.
You might be ready for dentures if you experience severe tooth loss, difficulty chewing, or chronic tooth pain that can’t be resolved with other treatments. Signs include significant tooth decay, gum disease, or loose teeth.
A consultation with a dentist will help determine if dentures are the best solution for your oral health needs. Contact Dr. Palayam today to see if dentures are right for you!
