Are you considering dentures? Whether you're exploring this option for the first time or looking to replace an existing set, Endicott Dental offers a variety of denture solutions tailored to meet your needs and enhance your lifestyle. Let’s break down the different types of dentures available and how they can bring back your best smile.
Full dentures are ideal for those who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches (upper and/or lower). These dentures sit comfortably on the gums and stay in place primarily through suction, and occasionally with the aid of an adhesive. At Endicott Dental, we custom-design these dentures to ensure they complement your facial structure and desired aesthetics.
When you still have some of your natural teeth, partial dentures can be an excellent choice. These dentures are beneficial not only for aesthetic purposes but also to prevent your existing teeth from shifting into empty spaces. Partial dentures are attached to your natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments and can be removed for cleaning. They blend smoothly with your teeth, providing a natural and functional smile enhancement.
For those looking for a more secure solution, implant-supported dentures offer an innovative alternative. These dentures are securely anchored through surgical placement of dental implants into your jawbone, offering exceptional stability. This option is ideal for those who want a more permanent solution without the slippage often associated with traditional dentures.
Temporary dentures, also known as immediate dentures, are provided shortly after your teeth are removed. These dentures allow you to have a full set of teeth while your gums heal and your permanent dentures are being made. Although temporary, these dentures help you adjust to speaking and eating with dentures and ensure that you don’t have to go without teeth at any point in your treatment process.
At Endicott Dental, we understand that everyone's dental needs and aesthetic preferences are different. We dedicate time to explore all your options and suggest the most suitable solutions tailored to your individual conditions and desires. Our team is dedicated to creating dentures that not only restore functionality but also enhance your smile and confidence. We utilize the latest technology in denture design and materials to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
Each type of denture is designed with your comfort and lifestyle in mind. Our team at Endicott Dental takes the time to discuss your preferences and needs to ensure that your dentures not only fit well but also restore your confidence and quality of life.

How do I know which type of denture is right for me?
Choosing the right type of denture for you involves considering various elements such as how many teeth you're missing, the condition of your gums and jawbone, your lifestyle habits, and your financial plan. It's essential to talk with your dentist, who can assess your particular situation and suggest the most appropriate denture solution for you.
Are there any alternatives to traditional dentures?
Yes, alternatives include dental implants and bridges. Dental implants offer a long-lasting option to replace one or several teeth, preserving the integrity of adjacent teeth. Meanwhile, bridges serve as a reliable solution for filling gaps, utilizing neighboring teeth as supports to anchor the replacement teeth.
What are the advantages of implant-supported dentures over traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer improved stability and comfort, as they do not slip or shift in the mouth. They also help preserve jawbone and facial structure, improve your eating and speech ability, and provide a more natural look and feel.
Can dentures be made to look like my natural teeth?
Absolutely, today's dentures are designed to closely mimic the color and shape of your own teeth, ensuring they blend in seamlessly and provide a comfortable fit.
How long do dentures typically last?
With the right care and upkeep, well-made dentures can serve you well for about 5 to 10 years. However, they may need adjustments or replacements due to normal wear and changes in the shape of your face and jaw over time.
What maintenance is required for dentures?
Regular cleaning with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaner, handling with care to avoid dropping them, storing them in water or a denture solution when not in use, and regular dental check-ups to ensure proper fit and condition.
