Replace Missing Teeth with Comfortable, Natural-Looking Dentures

Losing teeth affects more than just your smile—it impacts your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. At Atlantic Smiles, we create custom dentures that restore both function and appearance, helping you enjoy life without worrying about missing teeth.

Whether you need to replace all your teeth or just a few, dentures offer a proven, affordable solution. We take the time to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural, so you can smile, eat, and speak with confidence.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw (or both). They rest on your gums and are held in place by natural suction and, if needed, denture adhesive. Modern dentures are designed to look remarkably natural and feel more comfortable than ever before.

Partial Dentures

If you still have some healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures fill in the gaps. They attach to your natural teeth with discreet clasps, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting and restoring your smile's appearance and function.

The Denture Process

Getting dentures typically requires several appointments. We'll take precise impressions of your mouth, determine the best fit and bite alignment, and work with you to choose the shade and shape of teeth that look most natural. You'll have opportunities to try your dentures before they're finalized, ensuring you're completely satisfied.

We'll also provide detailed instructions on caring for your dentures and what to expect during the adjustment period. Most patients adapt quickly, and any initial discomfort usually resolves within a few weeks.

Caring for Your Dentures

Dentures require daily cleaning to remove food particles and prevent stains. Remove and rinse them after eating, brush them daily with a soft-bristle brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste), and soak them overnight in a denture solution. Handle them carefully—they can break if dropped.

Even with dentures, regular dental visits remain important. We'll check the fit of your dentures, examine your gums and remaining teeth, and screen for oral health issues.

How it works

Initial Consultation

We'll examine your mouth, discuss your needs and expectations, and determine whether full or partial dentures are right for you.

Impressions & Measurements

We take precise impressions of your gums and jaw, and measurements to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and natural appearance.

Try-In Appointment

You'll try a preliminary version of your dentures so we can check the fit, bite, and appearance before the final dentures are created.

Final Fitting & Adjustments

We'll place your completed dentures, make any necessary adjustments for comfort, and provide care instructions to help you adapt quickly.

Common questions

Will dentures feel uncomfortable?+

New dentures may feel awkward for the first few weeks until your mouth adjusts. You may experience increased saliva, minor soreness, or difficulty eating and speaking initially. These issues typically resolve as you get used to wearing them. We'll make adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible fit.

How long do dentures last?+

With proper care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change shape, which can affect how your dentures fit. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor the fit and determine when adjustments or replacements are needed.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?+

We generally recommend removing dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest and to allow you to clean them thoroughly. Soaking them overnight also helps maintain their shape and cleanliness. However, we'll provide specific guidance based on your individual situation.
