Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral functionality. They come in two main types: full dentures for those missing all their teeth, and partial dentures for those who still have some natural teeth remaining.
At Frontier Family Dental, we create custom-made dentures using advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure durability, comfort, and a natural appearance. Our goal is to provide you with dentures that not only look great but also improve your quality of life by enhancing your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Comprehensive Oral Examination
Your denture journey begins with a thorough oral examination at Frontier Family Dental. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your needs and expectations, and determine the best type of dentures for you.
We’ll explain the process in detail, address any concerns you may have, and ensure you’re comfortable with the proposed treatment plan. This initial step is crucial in establishing a foundation for successful denture treatment.
Impressions and Measurements
Once we’ve determined the best denture solution for you, we’ll take precise impressions and measurements of your mouth. This step is critical for creating dentures that fit comfortably and function properly.
Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to capture accurate molds of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions serve as the blueprint for crafting your custom dentures, ensuring a snug and natural-looking fit.
Denture Design and Fabrication
Using the impressions and measurements, our skilled technicians will begin designing and fabricating your custom dentures. We use high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums.
During this phase, we’ll work closely with you to select the shape, size, and color of your denture teeth, ensuring they complement your facial features and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Our goal is to create dentures that not only look natural but also provide optimal functionality.
Fitting and Adjustments
When your dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. During this visit, we’ll place your new dentures and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. We’ll check your bite, assess the appearance, and listen to your feedback.
It’s normal to need a few adjustments as you get used to your new dentures. We’re committed to fine-tuning your dentures until you’re completely satisfied with both their look and feel.
Post-Denture Care and Support
Our relationship doesn’t end when you receive your dentures. We’ll provide comprehensive instructions on how to care for your new dentures, including cleaning techniques, storage methods, and tips for maintaining good oral hygiene.
We’ll also offer guidance on adjusting to your dentures, such as speaking and eating practices. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably and function properly.

FAQs About Dentures
What are dentures?
Dentures are custom devices that can restore your full, healthy-looking smile. They include a false gum component, but their primary purpose is to replace your missing teeth. Your dentist makes sure your dentures make your smile look natural but even better than before you lost your teeth.
Depending on your needs, Frontier Family Dental can give you:
Full dentures
Full dentures replace every single one of your teeth. You might need a few extractions if you still have a few of your natural teeth left before you get full dentures.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures allow you to keep the healthy teeth you still have while replacing the teeth that are missing. They use a metal frame to hold onto your natural teeth.
How should I take care of my dentures?
Following your dentist’s instructions for denture care ensures that you won’t prematurely damage your dentures and need replacements. Proper denture care also minimizes bacteria in your mouth so you don’t experience problems like gum disease.
To take care of your dentures, you should:
- Handle them over a sink full of water or some sort of cushioning, like a towel
- Brush them daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Rinse them off after you eat
- Use a denture cleanser rather than toothpaste on your dentures
- Keep them submerged in cleaner or water when you’re not wearing them
- Brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth every day
If your dentures break or suddenly feel like they don’t fit correctly, contact Frontier Family Dental for an appointment immediately.
What are all-on-4® dentures?
All-on-4 dentures are a type of denture that eliminates some of the downsides of having dentures, like using denture adhesive or denture slipping. They feel like your natural teeth and function like them too because they’re supported by four evenly-spaced dental implants.
Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, but getting a lot of them can weaken your jawbone. With All-on-4, you have a limited number of dental implants that offer plenty of support to your restoration. Just like getting individual implants, it’s possible you’ll need a bone graft to make sure your jawbone is strong enough for the implants.

Do you clean dentures after every meal?
While cleaning after every meal isn’t mandatory, we recommend rinsing your dentures after eating to remove food particles. For optimal hygiene, thoroughly clean your dentures at least once daily, preferably before bedtime, using a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner.
What is a partial denture?
A partial denture is a custom-made appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth when you still have some natural teeth remaining. It consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often supported by a metal framework, helping to maintain your smile’s appearance and functionality.
What are the ingredients used to make dentures?
At Frontier Family Dental, we craft dentures using a blend of high-quality, biocompatible materials. The base typically consists of durable acrylic resin or flexible nylon, while the artificial teeth are made from advanced porcelain or acrylic compounds designed to mimic natural teeth.
How to clean dentures?
We recommend brushing your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Rinse them after meals, and soak them overnight in a denture solution or water to keep them moist and maintain their shape.
What are dentures made of?
Our dentures are crafted from a combination of materials chosen for durability, comfort, and natural appearance. The base is typically made from acrylic resin or flexible nylon, colored to match your gum tissue, while the teeth are usually porcelain or acrylic resin, carefully selected to resemble natural teeth.
