Please be aware that policies and coverage may change, so it's advisable to check with Medicare or your insurance provider for the most current information on denture coverage.

There are two main types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch and rest on the gums. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and attach to existing natural teeth. Both can be stabilized with dental implants for improved fit and function.
While it's generally preferred to remove dentures at night to allow your gums and bone to rest, you can wear them for a few days after getting them to aid in adjustment. After this initial period, it's best to remove them and store them in water or a cleaning solution overnight.
There will be an adjustment period when you first start eating with dentures. With practice, you should be able to eat most foods normally. Using a small amount of denture adhesive can help stabilize them. It's generally recommended to avoid chewing gum as it can stick to and loosen dentures.
It's normal to experience minor irritation when first fitted for new dentures, which should fade as your mouth adjusts. The duration of discomfort varies. If you had teeth extracted, the extraction sites may be sore for several weeks. Regular adjustments by your prosthodontist will help alleviate sore spots.
Dentures typically last between five to eight years, depending on the materials and how well they are cared for. Normal wear and changes in your mouth over time may require adjustments, relines, or eventual replacement.
Partial dentures use metal clasps that attach to existing natural teeth. Complete dentures rely on suction to create a seal with the gums, and sometimes denture adhesive is used for added stability. Dental implants can also be used to firmly anchor dentures to the jawbone.
Dentures are custom-made based on impressions and measurements of your mouth to ensure the best possible fit and comfort. This process ensures that your dentures are tailored to your unique oral structure.
Modern dentures are designed to look very natural. Advances in materials, fitting processes, and manufacturing techniques allow for dentures that are comfortable, reliable, and closely resemble natural teeth.
Dentures are a suitable option for individuals missing all or multiple teeth due to age, disease, trauma, or other factors. Your dentist will assess your oral health and recommend the best type of denture (complete or partial) based on your specific needs.
Dentures are commonly made with a gum-colored acrylic base and acrylic teeth. Partial dentures may also incorporate metal for clasps. Some advanced dentures use ceramics or other materials that offer a highly natural appearance.
