What Can I Expect from Modern Dentures?
Whether you’re replacing a few missing teeth, an entire arch of upper or lower teeth, or all your teeth, you’re bound to have questions about complete & partial dentures near me. Dr. MitzAnn Edmond from Elevation Dental Studio, serving residents in Mt. Vernon and Yonkers, New York, has the answers you need to make smart denture decisions. Modern dentures are nothing like dentures in the past and are well worth exploring!
Here’s what you should know about denture treatment:
What are dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth used to replace natural teeth when they are missing. These teeth are attached to a gum-colored acrylic base, which rests directly on your gums. Modern dentures have a sleek, natural design that fits the contours of your mouth and jaw for a comfortable fit. They help restore your smile so you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidence again.
What are the different types of dentures?
Dentures can be divided into the following categories:
- Traditional Complete Dentures – are removable prosthetics used to replace all your teeth in your upper and lower jaw.
- Traditional Partial Dentures – are removable artificial teeth that replace one or more missing teeth, but not all. They attach to natural teeth with metal clasps for support.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – are supported by implants that function like artificial tooth roots. They can be fixed or removable (overdentures).
Factors like your budget, oral health, personal preferences, and lifestyle habits should be considered when selecting the best denture for you.

How long do dentures last?
Traditional partial and complete dentures can last from 5 – 10 years, depending on their overall care and use. They may need adjusting from time to time to accommodate changes in your gums or jaw. With good oral care, implant dentures can last up to 20 years before needing an upgrade.

How do you care for dentures?
Conventional dentures need proper maintenance and care to stay in good shape. Dentures should be removed for cleaning daily. They can be brushed with a soft bristle brush and denture cleaner and rinsed in warm (never hot!) water. When not in use, soak them in denture solution to keep them from getting dry and brittle. It’s best to remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest.
Why should I consider modern dentures?
Traditional dentures don’t require surgery, making them quicker, easier, and less costly restorative treatment than implants. They can be used to replace some or all your teeth, as needed, to fill the gaps of lost teeth. Custom-fitted dentures can be made to look natural and pleasing! They also function better than ever, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of food. They can complement your lifestyle and improve the quality of your life.
