Dentures in Burtonsville, MD
Rediscover the comfort and confidence of a full smile with our custom denture solutions. At our dental clinic, we specialize in creating high-quality dentures designed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth. Whether you've lost some or all of your natural teeth, our dentures provide a durable and natural-looking replacement.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable; however, there are various denture designs, some of which rely on bonding or clipping onto dental implants.
We provide a range of denture options to suit every need and budget:
- Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing. They can be fitted for your upper or lower jaw and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Partial Dentures: If you still have some of your natural teeth, partial dentures can be used to fill in the gaps. These are attached to your remaining teeth with clasps and can be taken out for cleaning.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: For a more stable and comfortable fit, implant-supported dentures are attached to dental implants anchored in your jawbone. This option provides excellent stability and feels more like natural teeth.
- Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. This means you don’t have to be without teeth during the healing period. Adjustments will likely be needed as your jaw heals.

How do I clean dentures?
Proper care is essential for maintaining the cleanliness, appearance, and longevity of traditional removable dentures. Follow these cleaning steps and avoid certain practices to ensure the best results:
1. Always remove and rinse your dentures after eating to remove any food debris and particles.
2. Be gentle with your dentures while handling them and avoid bending or damaging the plastic or clasps while cleaning them.
3. Clean your mouth with a soft-bristled toothbrush after removing your dentures.
4. Brush your dentures at least once daily and soak them in a non-abrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque, and other deposits.
5. Soak your dentures overnight in a mild denture-soaking solution to keep them moist and maintain their shape.
6. Schedule regular dental checkups to ensure proper fit, prevent slippage and discomfort, and check the inside of your mouth to ensure it stays healthy.
7. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials, whitening toothpaste, and products containing bleach on your dentures. Additionally, avoid using hot or boiling water, as it can warp your dentures.
