Personalized full or partial dentures designed to fit your mouth, restore your smile, and help you feel like yourself again.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom dental appliances that replace missing teeth. Your natural teeth do more than create a beautiful smile; they support your face shape and let you chew and speak properly. Without teeth, the skin around your mouth begins to sag and certain foods become difficult to manage. Dentures are removable and take the place of your natural teeth, available as complete or partial sets. Dr. Trachtenberg fits each set carefully so it looks natural and feels secure. It can take a few weeks to a few months to adjust as your mouth gets used to your new dentures. If you have trouble keeping them in place, a denture adhesive can help.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Good hygiene is just as important when you wear dentures. Proper care helps them last longer and removes plaque and bacteria from the surface. We recommend:

• Brushing every surface of your dentures daily with a non-abrasive denture cleaner
• Soaking your dentures overnight in a denture cleaning solution to disinfect and lift stains
• Calling Dr. Trachtenberg right away if you drop or damage your dentures, never wear broken dentures since they can hurt your mouth or gums

Do You Still Need Regular Appointments?

Yes. Even with dentures, regular checkups remain important. During the first months of wearing your dentures, Dr. Trachtenberg likes to see patients more often to assess fit and make small adjustments. Over time, dentures wear and your mouth changes, so refittings or new dentures may be needed. Daily care of your gums and mouth is also essential to long-term oral health.
