Types of Dentures

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures replace all teeth in either your upper or lower arch. These prosthetics rest directly on your gums and are custom-crafted to match your natural smile.

Conventional Complete Dentures

These are made after your remaining teeth have been removed and tissues have healed, typically taking 8-12 weeks. During this healing period, you'll be without teeth or may use a temporary denture.

Immediate Complete Dentures

Placed the same day remaining teeth are extracted, immediate dentures allow you to avoid being without teeth during the healing process. They require more adjustments as your tissues change shape during healing.

Partial Dentures

When you still have healthy natural teeth, partial dentures provide an excellent solution. These removable appliances attach to your remaining teeth and include replacement teeth for those that are missing.

Removable Partial Dentures

Traditional partials feature replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base connected by a metal framework. They clip onto your natural teeth with precision attachments or clasps.

Flexible Partial Dentures

Made from flexible, lightweight materials, these dentures offer improved comfort and aesthetics, with no metal clasps visible when you smile.

Upper/Lower Dentures

Each jaw presents unique challenges for denture wearers:

Upper Dentures

Generally easier to wear due to suction against the palate, upper dentures cover the roof of your mouth and typically provide greater stability and comfort.

Lower Dentures

These can be more challenging due to less surface area and movement of your tongue and cheeks. Many patients find that implant-supported lower dentures significantly improve stability and function.

Are There Alternatives to Dentures?

While conventional dentures remain popular, several alternatives offer additional benefits:

Implant-Supported Dentures

By anchoring dentures to dental implants, these solutions provide superior stability without adhesives. They prevent bone loss and offer a more secure fit, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.

All-on-4 Implants

This innovative approach uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth, often allowing for immediate placement of fixed teeth.

Dental Bridges

For patients missing only a few teeth, bridges may provide a fixed alternative to partial dentures.

During your consultation at Hilltop Family Dental, Dr. Milmont or Dr. Gallup will discuss all available options to help you choose the solution that best fits your needs and budget.

Basic Denture Care

Proper maintenance extends the life of your dentures and supports oral health:

• Remove and rinse dentures after eating
• Clean your mouth after removing dentures
• Brush dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush
• Soak dentures overnight in approved cleansing solution
• Rinse thoroughly before reinserting
• Schedule regular dental checkups for professional cleaning and evaluation
• Contact us immediately if your dentures become damaged, loose, or uncomfortable

Many denture repair needs can be addressed in our office, often during the same appointment. Our on-site capabilities allow us to make adjustments quickly, minimizing your time without teeth.

Denture FAQ

How long do dentures typically last?

With proper care, dentures generally last 5-7 years before needing replacement. Your mouth naturally changes over time, requiring periodic adjustments or realignment to maintain a proper fit.

Will dentures affect how I speak or eat?

Initially, you may experience some adjustment period with speaking and eating. Most patients adapt within a few weeks as they become accustomed to their new dentures.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

We recommend removing dentures while sleeping to give your gum tissues time to rest and to help prevent potential infections like denture stomatitis.

How do I handle loose-fitting dentures?

If your dentures become loose, schedule an appointment right away. Continuing to wear ill-fitting dentures can cause irritation, sores, and even accelerate bone loss.

Do you offer same-day denture services?

For many denture repairs and adjustments, we provide same-day service. For new dentures, the process typically requires multiple appointments for optimal fit and appearance.

Pricing and Insurance Options

We believe everyone deserves a complete, functioning smile, which is why we offer various denture options at competitive prices. Factors affecting cost include:

• Type of denture (complete vs. partial)
• Materials used
• Whether extractions are needed
• Additional procedures (such as implants)

Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for dentures, typically at 50% of the cost after deductibles. Our experienced team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.

For patients without insurance or those seeking additional savings, we offer flexible payment plans and a variety of financing options. We're committed to finding financial solutions that make quality dentures affordable for every budget.
