What Are Dentures?

dentures Rio Rancho, NMDentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. In addition to improving your ability to chew and speak, dentures help support your facial muscles and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Every denture is carefully crafted to fit comfortably, look natural, and complement your unique smile.

Our in-house denture options at Southern Boulevard Dental Center include:

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. They are designed to restore your smile while improving your ability to eat, speak, and enjoy daily activities with greater confidence.

Modern full dentures are made with durable materials and customized for a comfortable fit and natural appearance.

Partial Dentures

If you still have healthy natural teeth, a partial denture may be the ideal solution. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while working with your remaining teeth to restore balance, function, and appearance.

They also help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into empty spaces.

Implant-Retained Dentures

For patients seeking greater stability in their dentures, implant-retained dentures offer a secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. Instead of resting solely on the gums, these dentures attach to strategically placed dental implants, providing a more stable and comfortable fit.

Benefits of implant-retained dentures include:

  • Greater stability while eating and speaking
  • Reduced slipping or movement
  • Improved chewing ability
  • Increased comfort and confidence
  • Better support for facial structure
  • A more secure, natural feel

If you’re interested in implant-retained dentures, we’ll discuss your options during your consultation and determine whether you’re a good candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's appearance and function. They help improve your ability to chew and speak while supporting your facial muscles for a more natural appearance. At Southern Boulevard Dental Center, we offer full, partial, and implant-retained dentures.

Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain. Both options are customized to restore your smile, improve chewing function, and help prevent changes in your bite.

Implant-retained dentures are secured to dental implants placed in your jawbone rather than relying solely on your gums for support. They offer greater stability, reduce slipping and movement, and make eating and speaking more comfortable compared to traditional removable dentures.

You may be a good candidate for dentures if you're missing multiple teeth, have severely damaged or decayed teeth, or have difficulty chewing comfortably. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best tooth replacement option for your needs.

The timeline depends on the type of dentures you need and your individual treatment plan. Your process typically includes a consultation, digital impressions, denture fabrication, and fitting appointments. Additional procedures, such as tooth extractions or dental implant placement, may extend treatment time.

Yes! Today's dentures are designed with improved materials and customized details to provide a comfortable fit and natural appearance. We use iTero® digital scanning to capture precise impressions and create dentures that complement your facial features and smile.

Most patients need some time to adjust to new dentures. You may initially notice changes in your speech, chewing, or how your dentures feel throughout the day. These sensations typically improve as you become accustomed to wearing them. We'll also make adjustments as needed to improve your comfort and fit.

Once you've adjusted to your new dentures, you should be able to enjoy a wider variety of foods. We recommend starting with soft foods, cutting meals into smaller pieces, and gradually introducing firmer foods as your comfort improves. Implant-retained dentures may provide additional stability for chewing.

Clean your dentures daily using a denture brush and a cleaner specifically designed for dentures. Remove food debris, follow recommended soaking instructions, and keep your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth clean. Regular dental visits are also important for checking your oral health and ensuring your dentures continue to fit properly.

With proper care, dentures can last several years, although they may eventually need adjustments, relining, or replacement as your jawbone and gums naturally change over time. Regular dental evaluations help ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably and function properly.
