Partial Dentures

How They Work

Using a framework attached to your remaining natural teeth, partial dentures snap in and out of the dental arch. The false teeth slide into place where teeth once were, restoring your smile while still lifting out easily for daily care.

As a removable alternative to a traditional bridge, they are comfortable, practical, and ideal when healthy natural teeth still remain.

Benefits

  • Keeps remaining teeth from shifting
  • Brings back your ability to chew and speak clearly
  • Lifts out for easy daily cleaning
  • Costs less than multiple implants or bridges
  • Preserves the natural shape of your face
  • Custom-fabricated to blend in with existing teeth

Full Dentures

Once all teeth are lost, the facial muscles start to sag and weaken, and that process can age a patient dramatically. By replacing every tooth in the arch, full dentures fill out the profile of your face and offer the most economical way to restore a complete smile. When added stability matters, we also offer implant-retained dentures anchored on ceramic dental implants.

Conventional

Made and placed once teeth are removed and the tissues have fully healed, which typically takes several weeks to months. That healing time lets Dr. MacFarlane craft a precise, comfortable fit at our Red Bank, NJ office.

Immediate

Fabricated in advance and placed the very day teeth are extracted, so you are never left without teeth. Once the jaw finishes healing, a reline or remake may be needed.

Implant-Retained Dentures

When patients want a more stable solution, implant-retained dentures rely on dental implants placed along the arch to anchor the prosthetic, putting an end to slipping, clicking, and messy adhesives.

Since the implants integrate with the jawbone, they also help preserve bone density over time. During a consultation at our Red Bank, NJ practice, Dr. MacFarlane can evaluate your candidacy.

Fabrication & Longevity

How They're Made

A dental impression of your mouth goes to a laboratory, where your denture is custom-fabricated. The fit is then fine-tuned over follow-up adjustment appointments. Dr. MacFarlane will check your speech and relieve any sore spots on your gums.

How Long They Last

Because your mouth naturally reshapes over time, dentures need periodic relining or rebasing to stay comfortable. Loose dentures can irritate the gums and affect chewing, so regular checkups help catch changes early.

Caring for Your Dentures

Daily Care Steps

  1. After eating, rinse your dentures to remove food debris.
  2. Clean your mouth by brushing any natural teeth and wiping the tongue and palate with gauze.
  3. Brush your dentures twice a day to clear plaque and prevent staining.
  4. Reach for a denture cleaner and denture brush, steering clear of harsh or whitening toothpaste.
  5. Work over a sink full of water or a towel so a dropped denture is less likely to break.

Additional Tips

  1. Brush the gums, palate, and tongue to head off bacteria and fungal buildup.
  2. Take care not to bend the plastic or clasps while cleaning.
  3. Keep their shape by soaking dentures overnight in water or solution.
  4. Before reinserting, rinse thoroughly to remove any soaking chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partial dentures suit patients who still have healthy natural teeth, attaching to those teeth with a framework and filling in the gaps. Full dentures, on the other hand, replace every tooth in an arch and rely on suction or adhesive. Dr. MacFarlane will recommend the option that best suits your situation.

With immediate dentures, placement happens the same day teeth are extracted. Conventional dentures call for several weeks to months of healing first, then a few weeks of laboratory fabrication and adjustment appointments.

During the first few weeks, as your gums adapt, some soreness is normal. To adjust the fit and address any sore spots, Dr. MacFarlane schedules follow-up appointments. Most patients find that the discomfort steadily decreases.

Yes, though it does take some practice. Begin with soft foods cut into small pieces and build up from there. For even greater chewing stability than traditional removable dentures, implant-retained dentures are an option.

They might be recommended when conventional dentures slip frequently, when you have enough jawbone to support implants, or when you simply want a more secure option. Dr. MacFarlane will evaluate your candidacy during a consultation.

What dentures cost depends on the type, the materials, and any additional procedures needed. Our team will provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing and go over payment and financing options.

Many plans offer some coverage, though the amounts vary. To help you understand your benefits and make the most of your coverage, our staff is here to assist. Financing options are also available.

Plan on at least once a year. At each visit, Dr. MacFarlane will examine your gums, check the denture fit, and screen for oral health issues. As your mouth changes over time, relines or adjustments may be needed.

Often, yes. A minor crack or a single broken tooth can usually be fixed quickly, while more significant damage may call for laboratory repair. Never try to fix dentures with household adhesives; contact our office instead.

With proper care, they typically last five to ten years before replacement is needed. Regular relines and adjustments extend their useful life. Dr. MacFarlane monitors the fit at each visit and will advise when replacement is recommended.
