Dentures in Medford​, MA

Denture Options for Replacing Missing Teeth

The right denture depends on whether you are missing several teeth or an entire arch. Your dentist will examine your mouth and explain the available options before treatment begins.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower arch. They may be recommended when no healthy natural teeth remain in the affected arch.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while allowing healthy natural teeth to remain in place. Patients considering partial dentures in Medford can have their remaining teeth and bite evaluated to determine whether a partial denture is appropriate.

Immediate and Conventional Dentures

Immediate dentures can be prepared before teeth are removed and placed following extraction, while conventional dentures are made after the gums have had time to heal. Your dentist will recommend the approach that fits your treatment needs.

Finding the Right Denture for Your Smile

Denture design and materials can vary depending on your oral health, remaining teeth, comfort needs, and treatment goals.

If you are researching flexible dentures in Medford, your dentist can explain the denture materials and designs that may be suitable for your specific case.

Patients searching for permanent dentures in Medford can also discuss longer-term tooth-replacement options with their dentist to understand which solution best matches their oral health and stability needs.

What to Expect When Getting Dentures

Getting dentures involves planning the restoration around the shape of your mouth, bite, and remaining teeth.

Denture Consultation and Examination

Your dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and areas of missing teeth. Dental imaging may also be used when needed to help plan treatment.

Impressions and Denture Design

Measurements and impressions of your mouth may be taken to help create dentures that fit your dental structure and appearance. Denture fabrication is followed by fitting and adjustments as needed.

Fitting and Follow-Up Care

Once your dentures are ready, your dentist will check the fit, comfort, and bite. Follow-up appointments may be recommended because the shape of the gums and supporting tissues can change over time.

When Your Dentures May Need Adjustment

Changes in your mouth can affect how dentures fit over time. Schedule an evaluation if you notice:

• Dentures are becoming loose or slipping
• Sore or irritated areas on the gums
• Difficulty chewing
• Changes in your bite
• Cracks, chips, or visible wear

Adjustments or other treatment may help improve comfort and function when the denture fit changes.
