Today's appointment was with Dr. Cash, preparing a tooth for a crown. Her dental office candor and mannerisms were top notch. I felt very comfortable and relaxed, and although the procedure was longer than I had originally expected, the time went by quick enough. I would high recommend her to anyone needing a dental procedure.

I am one with high anxiety going to dentist but from the front desk to the chair has been a great experience. Jesse at front desk is fantastic and Dr Cash and the assistants are absolutely wonderful. They are patient, very kind and answered all my concerns with honesty. I am having oral surgery in August (all my teeth pulled and temporary teeth placed) and I am confident it will be a positive experience and outcome. I am looking forward to the results I have wanted for years. I know I am in very capable hands with much less anxiety. I have never had faith in any dental practices until now. Thank you Gentle Dental of Concord, NH.
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.
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.
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 Concord 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.
Dentures are a great option for many patients, but it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks:
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.
At Gentle Dental Concord, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services to meet all of your oral health needs. Whether you need routine check-ups, cosmetic enhancements, or restorative treatments, our team is here to provide expert care in a comfortable environment.
It typically takes a few weeks for your mouth to adjust to new dentures. Some initial discomfort is normal, but it will subside with time.
Some people may experience slight changes in speech at first, but with practice, you’ll be able to speak clearly again.
You can eat most foods, but it’s advisable to start with softer foods and gradually add more as you become accustomed to wearing dentures.
While dentures allow you to eat most foods, it’s best to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy items until you're fully adjusted.
