Dentures at Madigan Dental

Illustration of dentures If you’re missing teeth, you’ve probably thought about what you can do to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. At Madigan Dental, we provide full and partial dentures to replace your teeth that have gone missing. This removable appliance is suitable for people who have all teeth missing or only some teeth that are gone.

Why You Need to Replace Missing Teeth

If you have lost teeth, you might have noticed that your facial profile doesn’t look the same as it used to. That’s because your teeth fill out your face, giving it fullness. Dentures can restore that same fullness so that your appearance is rejuvenated. You’ll also notice that you may be able to eat and speak better with your dentures than you could before. Enjoy your favorite foods and have the confidence to talk to others by getting a new denture.

Our Local Laboratory

Our dental laboratory is located locally. We’ve chosen to have all of our products, including our dentures, created there. If there is a question, we can easily communicate with their technicians to make sure that you get the best possible results. Plus, you won’t have to worry about longer waiting times to receive your denture!

Replacing All of Your Teeth

If you have no teeth remaining in your mouth, you may benefit from having a complete denture. We can also extract any teeth that are no longer vital. Then, the extraction sites must heal before we can fit you with full dentures. This traditional form of a denture is held into place with a strong seal on your gums.

Replacing Some of Your Teeth

You may still have some healthy teeth left in your mouth. If so, you don’t want to have them extracted. You can keep your vital teeth and have the remaining space filled with a partial denture. These dentures will fit around your remaining teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both), while partial dentures replace only some missing teeth and are held in place by clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. Dr. Mahajan will recommend the right option based on how many teeth you’re missing.

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most patients adjust to wearing dentures within 2-4 weeks. Initially, your dentures may feel bulky or loose, and you may produce more saliva or experience minor irritation. These symptoms resolve as your mouth adapts. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure proper fit.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, though it takes practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and chew using both sides of your mouth. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually introduce more foods. Avoid very hard, sticky, or tough foods that could damage or dislodge your dentures.

How long do dentures last?

Dentures typically last 5-8 years before they need to be replaced. Your mouth naturally changes shape over time, so dentures that once fit well may become loose. Regular dental visits help us monitor the fit and make adjustments or replacements as needed.

How do I clean my dentures?

Remove and rinse your dentures after eating. Brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive). Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution, and never let them dry out. We’ll provide detailed care instructions when you receive your dentures.
