What Are Dentures? 

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and gum tissue. Dentures can be made from various acrylic and composite materials and are held in place with suction, dental adhesive, or a metal framework that clips into your remaining healthy teeth. At Lakewood Dental Studio, Dr. Leisa Robothamrecommends dentures as a convenient, affordable way to restore your grin.

What To Expect During Denture Fitting 

  • Preparation of Abutment Teeth

    Your dentist will clean and numb your mouth, and then begin to trim away a thin layer of enamel from the two teeth next to your missing tooth. These are known as “abutment teeth” and they will hold your crowns. Your bridge will permanently attach to these crowns.

  • Impressions

    Once your abutment teeth have been prepared, your dentist will use dental putty and trays to take impressions of your teeth. These impressions will be used by a technician at a dental lab to build your dental bridge.

  • Temporary Bridge

    Depending on your needs, your dentist will place a temporary resin bridge to protect your prepared abutment teeth, or two temporary dental crowns. Either way, your prepared teeth will be covered and protected until your permanent bridge can be placed.

  • Bridge Check & Adjustment

    Once your permanent bridge is ready, usually within a few weeks, you’ll come into the office to have the bridge checked for proper fit. Minor adjustments may be made by your dentist, if necessary, to ensure that your bridge looks and feels natural. If the bridge requires larger adjustments, it will be sent back to the lab for further refinement.

  • Permanent Placement

    Once you and your dentist have determined that the fit of your bridge feels right, they will use powerful dental cement to attach it permanently to your abutment teeth, restoring your smile and your bite.

    • What happens if you leave dentures in all the time?

      Are you wearing dentures all night? Think again! Keeping your denture in while you sleep can do more harm than good. Not only is plaque accumulation likely, but the long-term effects include an increased risk of gum disease, oral thrush, and bone loss. Yikes! Remove and clean those pearly whites before turning off the lights for a better tomorrow.


    • How do dentures stay in place?

      Dentures and denture partials are designed to stay securely in place, allowing you to talk, chew, and smile with confidence. Complete dentures use suction and denture adhesive along the gum line for a secure fit. Denture partials use metal clasps or precision attachments that latch onto pre-existing teeth. This mechanism helps minimize the movement of dentures while eating and speaking and reduces the amount of denture adhesive required.
