Dentures in Richboro

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They are an affordable, time-tested solution for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or age. At Addisville Dental, Dr. Sandhu provides both partial and complete dentures, each designed specifically for your mouth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. A partial denture fills the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring a consistent, natural-looking smile while helping prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

Full Dentures

If you are missing all of the teeth on your upper or lower jaw, Dr. Sandhu may recommend a full denture. Complete dentures rest over your gums to replace the entire arch of teeth, restoring your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients who want extra stability, dentures can be anchored to dental implants. Implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place, reducing slipping and helping preserve jawbone health.

How Dentures Improve Your Smile and Quality of Life

Many people with missing teeth feel self-conscious and avoid smiling, talking, or eating in front of others. Dentures can restore your self-confidence and make everyday activities enjoyable again.

Modern dentures are crafted with a natural-looking acrylic base that is custom-fitted and blends seamlessly with your gums. Each artificial tooth is carefully designed to look as natural as possible, and Dr. Sandhu selects the shape, size, and shade to complement your facial features. The result is a smile that looks and feels like your own.

Dentures also support the muscles of your cheeks and lips, which helps prevent the sunken facial appearance that can occur after tooth loss.

How Are Dentures Fitted?

In the past, dentures were often bulky and poorly fitted. Today’s dentistry offers far more comfortable and discreet options, and a careful fitting process makes all the difference.

• Consultation and exam: Dr. Sandhu evaluates your mouth, takes X-rays, and discusses your goals. If any remaining teeth are severely damaged, a tooth extraction may be recommended first.
• Impressions and measurements: Precise impressions of your teeth and gums are taken so your dentures can be custom-made for your mouth.
• Trial fitting: You try a model of your dentures so Dr. Sandhu can check the fit, bite, and appearance and make adjustments.
• Final delivery: You receive your finished dentures, along with instructions on how to insert, remove, and care for them at home.

Caring for Your Dentures

Your dentures need daily cleaning to stay fresh and free of bacteria. Dr. Sandhu can recommend the best at-home cleaning products, and our team will let you know which foods or habits to avoid while you adjust. Handle your dentures carefully, and store them in water or a denture solution when you are not wearing them so they keep their shape.

Even with dentures, your mouth still needs professional care. Continue your routine exams so Dr. Sandhu can check your gums and oral tissues, and bring your dentures to each visit. Over time, your gums and jawbone can change shape, and your dentures may need an adjustment or reline to keep fitting comfortably.

Are Dentures Right for You?

Dentures may be a good fit if you are missing several or all of your teeth, want an affordable tooth replacement option, or are not ready for implant surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Sandhu will compare dentures, implants, and other restorative options so you can make a confident decision. Our team also accepts most insurance plans and can help you understand your coverage.
