Full & Partial Dentures – Bowie, MD

Full & Partial Dentures

A full denture replaces your teeth when you’ve lost all of them along a single row. Replacement teeth are created and placed on a base molded to fit your gum line. Partial dentures replace missing teeth when you still have some left, attaching to your remaining teeth using clasps. Both of these dental prosthetics are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and care.

We provide patients from Bowie and surrounding areas with dentures and partials created with the highest quality in mind. If you would prefer, we can also provide you with dental implant restorations. We want you to have a smile you can be proud of throughout your entire lifetime, so don’t let missing teeth lead to lifelong discomfort.

The Benefits of Getting Dentures

Dentures have been around for a long time, and over the years, they’ve been improved and updated to look realistic and function more effectively than ever. When you restore your arch of teeth with this prosthetic, you can enjoy a variety of benefits, including some of the following:

• One of the most cost-effective tooth replacement treatments.
• Enjoy enhanced chewing and speaking abilities.
• Expect to be smiling within a matter of weeks.
• A completely natural appearance.
• Support for your facial muscles.

Using & Maintaining Your Dentures

It typically takes about a month or two to completely adjust to your new dentures. Many patients experience a variety of side-effects over the course of this time, including extra saliva production, tender gums, or even sores on their gums. To help speed this adjustment process up, it’s a good idea to start with softer foods and always cut up any non-soft foods into small, easy-to-chew pieces. After several weeks, you’ll notice that they begin to feel just like your natural teeth once did.

To maintain your dentures, our team recommends following these daily and weekly regimens:

• Whenever you’re not wearing your denture, store it in a glass of room temperature water.
• Always take your denture out before bed.
• Never use hot or boiling water to clean your denture.
• Clean your dentures at least once a day using a special denture toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaning solution.
• Rinse your dentures before you put them back in your mouth.
• Don’t try to fix a broken denture. Take it to your dentist.
• Don’t use bleaching products or whitening toothpaste on your denture.
• Visit your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

How Much Do Dentures Cost?

The cost of dentures can depend on a variety of different factors, including:

• Whether you need full or partial dentures
• What types of materials you’re choosing to have your dentures crafted from
• Whether you need any preparatory treatments, like a tooth extraction
• Whether you opt for a traditional or implant-retained denture

Our team at Ambiance Dental Spa will be able to determine all of these details during your initial consultation, once we’ve had an opportunity to examine your teeth and gums. We’ll then develop a treatment plan and walk you through it, including the cost of your procedure and financing options.
