Dentures—Restoring Your Smile and Confidence

Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dentures offer a time-tested solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. At TrueSmiles Dental, we create custom dentures designed to fit comfortably and look natural.

Whether you need full dentures or partial dentures, our team serves patients throughout Tonawanda, Buffalo, Amherst, and Western New York with personalized denture solutions.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures (Complete Dentures)

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both). They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction and/or denture adhesive. Modern full dentures are designed to look natural and provide functional chewing ability.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth while your remaining natural teeth are preserved. They typically attach to your natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments, filling in gaps and preventing remaining teeth from shifting.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed right after teeth are extracted, so you're never without teeth. They require adjustments as your gums heal and may eventually be replaced with conventional dentures.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For greater stability and comfort, dentures can be supported by dental implants. Implant-supported dentures don't slip or shift, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence. Learn more about dental implants.

The Denture Process

Creating dentures is a multi-step process that ensures proper fit and appearance:

• Initial consultation and examination
• Impressions and measurements of your mouth
• Try-in appointments to check fit, bite, and appearance
• Final denture delivery and adjustments
• Follow-up visits to ensure comfort

Adjusting to Dentures

It takes time to adjust to new dentures. Initially, they may feel awkward or bulky, and you may experience increased saliva production or minor soreness. With practice, speaking and eating will become more natural. We're here to help you through the adjustment process with follow-up appointments and any necessary modifications.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care extends the life of your dentures and protects your oral health. Remove and rinse dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste), soak them overnight, and visit us regularly for checkups.
