A. No, dentures shouldn’t cause pain. Although you may have some initial discomfort or soreness as you get used to them, it should subside over time. Regular checkups with our team can help ensure a comfortable fit.

Q. Can you sleep with dentures in?

A. It's generally recommended to remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to clean the dentures properly. Sleeping with dentures in can increase the risk of gum irritation and infection.

Q. How long do dentures last?

A. The lifespan of dentures can vary, but with proper care and maintenance, they typically last five-seven years or longer. Over time, the fit may change, requiring adjustments or replacement.

Partial Dentures:

When you're missing some of your natural teeth, partial dentures can bridge the gap beautifully. These removable appliances blend seamlessly with your remaining teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.

Implant-Supported Dentures:

For added stability and comfort, we offer implant-supported dentures. Dental implants are anchors to secure your dentures, eliminating slipping and enhancing chewing efficiency.

Because no two mouths are the same, we can make custom dentures to meet your individual needs.

Removable vs. Fixed Dentures

The choice between removable and fixed dentures depends on your preferences and oral health. Removable dentures are easy to clean and maintain, whereas fixed dentures offer a more permanent solution with added stability.
