Full dentures & partial dentures in Burke, Virginia

What happens during the dentures placement procedure?

The procedure for getting dentures is usually quite straightforward; however, it involves several steps. First, your dentist will evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums, take measurements and create impressions of your mouth. This ensures your dentures will fit inside your mouth properly and that your bite is accurately replicated. If receiving a full denture, your teeth will be extracted and the gums will be allowed time to heal. Your dentist may insert the implants during the same visit if you’re receiving an implant-supported denture. A temporary denture will be provided until your permanent device is completed and can be properly fitted.

What types of dentures can I receive?

After carefully examining your teeth and gums, your dentist will determine what type of denture treatment is best for you. We currently offer the following options for affordable quality dentures:

Full or partial denture

A complete denture, more commonly referred to as a full denture, can replace a full arch of missing teeth. To receive a full denture, your dentist will extract all existing teeth and in the meantime, provide you with a temporary denture to wear as your mouth heals. After the healing process is complete, the full denture will be secured in place. A full denture can either rest on the gums or be anchored in place with implants, depending on your needs. If you’ve retained several healthy teeth, a partial denture may be a good option. This type of denture is attached to supporting teeth, much like a bridge. However, the denture can be removed easily with attached metal clasps.

Flexible partial denture

A comfortable alternative to a traditional hard acrylic denture, a flexible partial denture is created with soft, lightweight materials. The pliable, natural-looking denture moves as your mouth moves, and it’s easy to remove and clean.

Implant-supported denture

Implant-supported dentures are securely held in the mouth using two or more implants. This option is best for those who are missing teeth, but have sufficient jawbone remaining. An implant-supported denture is more likely to be used on the lower jaw; the upper jaw often doesn’t require the increased stability that implants provide.

How much does a denture cost?

Your individual dentures cost will be determined by several factors. These include the condition of your teeth and gums, the type of dentures needed, and the number of follow-up visits required. At your consultation, your dentist will provide you with an estimate of the total charges. Call us now to learn more about our affordable dentures in Burke.
