Custom-fitted dentures for full or partial tooth replacement, with implant-supported options available for improved stability. Call 508-881-7700.
Dentures are a removable tooth replacement option for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth. Modern dentures are custom-fitted to your gum anatomy and designed to restore comfortable chewing function, support facial structure, and allow normal speech. They are available in several forms depending on how many teeth need to be replaced and whether implant support is desired.
At Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry, Dr. Almaawi evaluates each patient’s oral health, bone condition, and functional needs before recommending a denture type. For patients who want greater stability, implant-supported dentures are available through our practice and managed entirely in-house. We serve patients from Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Hopkinton, Holliston, Southborough, Milford, and the broader MetroWest area.
Denture Options We Offer
Full Dentures
Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Custom-fitted to the gum ridge for comfort and function.
Partial Dentures
Fill gaps left by multiple missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth. Attach to natural teeth for stability.
Implant-Supported Dentures (Fixed Implant Teeth)
Anchored by dental implants for significantly improved retention, chewing efficiency, and comfort compared to conventional dentures.
Immediate Dentures
Placed on the same day as tooth extraction to provide temporary coverage during healing.
What the Process Involves
The denture process begins with a clinical examination and detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These are used to fabricate a denture that fits accurately and sits comfortably. Once the denture is ready, Dr. Almaawi fits it, checks bite alignment, and makes any necessary adjustments. Follow-up visits may be needed as the gums settle and the fit is refined.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Adjustments may be needed over time as the gums and underlying bone naturally change shape. Regular checkups allow us to monitor fit and make modifications before problems develop.
Can I eat and speak normally with dentures?
Most patients adapt within a few weeks. Speech and eating may feel different at first, but this improves as you become accustomed to the fit. Well-fitted dentures should not significantly restrict diet or communication.
Are implant-supported dentures better than conventional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures provide greater stability, better chewing efficiency, and help preserve jawbone over time. Whether they are appropriate depends on your bone health and overall clinical situation. Dr. Almaawi will advise you on the most suitable option.
