There are various types of dentures that we offer ranging from $520 and up to $25,000. It is not possible to judge the situation in your mouth over the phone, that is why we offer complimentary consultations where our denturists will discuss your needs, assess your mouth and based on these findings and your desires will be able to present treatment options for you.

A denture relining is recommended every two to three years to help restore the fit. It is recommended to replace dentures every five to eight years.

​

During the first two to three years your dentures will have the best fit, function and appearance. After this time all dentures can begin to feel loose due to normal shrinkage of bone and gums associated with tooth loss. This is natural and there is nothing that we can do to prevent it. Your bite is also a factor affecting the “life” of your dentures. Dentures that have worn down will inevitably cause sore jaw muscles and possible headaches. Denture teeth that are worn down can put stress on your dentures and cause them to break.

The anatomy of the upper and lower jaws is different. The upper denture usually fits against the roof of the mouth by suction created by the borders/edges of the denture. There are no active muscles in the upper jaw.

The lower jaw is a different story. The area where the lower denture rests is approximately 1/3 of the upper one. There are plenty of active muscles such as your tongue, floor of the mouth and muscles of facial expression that are constantly in action. These muscles always try to move the denture out of its resting position.

You can help prevent plaque and tartar build-up, food stains, bad breath, mouth infections and redness or irritation to your gums by cleaning your dentures and mouth daily.

Remove your dentures and brush them right after each meal, then rinse them with water. Always use a denture brush (can be purchased at any drug store or we offer complementary brushes in our clinics) and liquid dish or hand soap. NEVER use toothpaste as it is abrasive and will cause scratching of the denture materials. Be sure to use a separate toothbrush and regular toothpaste to clean any natural teeth, tongue and gum surfaces. Overnight, take your dentures out and immerse them in a denture bath filled with denture cleaner.

NEVER use bleach to clean or soak your dentures! This can weaken the structure of the dentures and discolor the acrylic surface. Always read the instructions for the denture cleaner you’re using and be sure you have the right type for your dentures. We also sell professional cleaning solutions at our clinic that are not available in stores to get rid of any tough stains.
