Dr. Goldberg, Periodontist, provided me with excellent care. He is always cheery, communicates well, and the best dentist at local anesthesia that I have ever met. The staff in the office are always friendly and helpful.
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They help restore chewing ability, speech clarity, facial structure, and overall smile appearance.
Dentures are a great way to restore both the function and appearance of your smile when you have missing teeth. There are several types of dentures, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Here’s an overview of the main types:
Complete dentures are designed for patients who have lost all of their teeth in a particular arch (either upper or lower). These dentures consist of a full set of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base that fits over your gums. Complete dentures are designed to help you eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and blend seamlessly with the natural look of your gums and remaining tissues.
Ideal For: People who have lost all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
Benefits: Restores full functionality of the mouth, helping you eat and speak easily.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. These dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are attached to your remaining teeth with metal clasps or crowns. Partial dentures can be removable or permanent, depending on your dental needs.
Ideal For: People with some remaining natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Benefits: Restores the function of missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth.
Getting dentures involves several steps, but we make the process as simple and comfortable as possible. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
The first step in getting dentures is a thorough consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your options, and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
Once your treatment plan is in place, we take precise impressions of your mouth to ensure your dentures fit perfectly. Our skilled dental technicians will create your dentures using high-quality materials that match your natural gum color and tooth shade.
After your dentures are crafted, you’ll return to our Cambridge office for a fitting appointment. We’ll make sure the dentures fit comfortably and securely, and we’ll adjust them as needed to ensure they function optimally.
It may take some time to fully adjust to wearing dentures, but with patience and the right care, you’ll be able to enjoy your new smile comfortably.
It’s common to experience some discomfort or soreness during the first few weeks as your mouth adjusts to the new dentures. We’re here to guide you through this process and help with any necessary adjustments.
Dentures typically last between 5 and 10 years, depending on how well they’re cared for and the materials used. With proper care, your dentures will continue to provide a natural-looking, functional smile for years to come.
To ensure the longevity of your dentures, clean them daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them fresh and free from bacteria.
If you experience any discomfort or issues with your dentures, it’s important to contact your dentist promptly. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule a visit:
If dentures aren’t the best solution for your dental needs, there are other options available.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. Implants are placed directly into the jawbone and support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental bridges use adjacent teeth to support a false tooth, filling in gaps left by missing teeth. Bridges are a great alternative to dentures, especially when only a few teeth are missing.
The cost of dentures varies based on:
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for dentures. Financing options may also be available to help manage out-of-pocket costs.

Most patients adjust within a few weeks, although complete comfort may take a little longer depending on the type of denture.
In most cases, removing dentures at night is recommended to allow the gums to rest and reduce irritation.
Very hard, sticky, or chewy foods should be avoided, especially during the initial adjustment period.
Dentures typically need replacement every 5 to 10 years due to normal wear and changes in oral structure.
Coverage varies by provider and plan, but many insurance policies include partial denture benefits.
