BENEFITS OF DENTURES
Maintain a Natural-Looking,
Functional Smile!
Are you struggling to enjoy the foods you used to love, having difficulties with speaking or otherwise due to missing teeth? Dentures are often a great choice, regardless of your age. At Costello Family Dentistry, we know how important it is to have a smile that’s not only functional but also keeps your confidence in check. With our full and partial dentures, we can easily help restore yours to its former glory!
There’s nothing “false” about how these replacement teeth perform or look; we offer extremely durable, easy-to-put-in solutions that are also designed for comfort. Customized to match the shape of the roof of your mouth, gumline and otherwise, a full or partial set can alleviate discomfort in social situations while also enabling you to enjoy more of what you love: Great food and company!
SEAMLESS & COMFORTABLE
Full Dentures
Full denture sets by Costello Family Dentistry are designed for seamless installation and removal on a daily basis, meaning they won’t wear down and will last for the rest of your life if properly cared for. Full sets are typically reserved for those who would benefit from having all of their teeth replaced. The dentures are stabilized within the mouth by way of adhesion, but it’s not intrusive or uncomfortable. In fact, after as little as a couple of weeks, you might forget that you’re wearing them. Plus, our team will work very closely with you to ensure a perfect fit and lasting satisfaction, so there’s nothing to lose… other than your worries over what’s for dinner!

FOR MISSING TEETH
Partial Dentures
If you have several teeth missing or in need of the extraction of multiple teeth that are grouped together, a partial denture set is a better choice. They can be customized to perfectly match your remaining real teeth to achieve a natural look. In addition, they’re useful for avoiding crowding or shifting in the mouth once in place, and they should be put in and removed daily just like with full dentures. Partial dentures are different in that they depend on support from your real teeth. Our team works diligently to ensure you don’t encounter any discomfort or irritation as these sets can come in unique forms based on the shape of your mouth’s structure.
FIRST IMPRESSION TO FINAL FIT
How Dentures
Are Made
First, the Costello Family Dentistry team will work closely with you to determine which type of dentures are best for you. If we believe some teeth can be saved and you can still maintain a healthy smile with only a partial, then we’ll be glad to recommend it as an option. Alternatively, should we discover that your existing teeth are in need of extraction for various reasons – serious infection, for instance – then a full set is the better option.
After consultations, we’ll meticulously make impressions of the inside of your mouth to provide denture-makers with data to create a solution personalized for you; everything from alignment to bite can be customized. Once the dentures arrive, we’ll perform a fitting and test them thoroughly to ensure your satisfaction.

For the first couple of weeks, dentures can feel awkward or out of place in your mouth. The time it takes to get used to dentures is different for everyone and changes based on the type of dentures you have. Make sure you are following all of the instructions your dentist has given you. If it has been more than a few weeks since you got your dentures and they still feel uncomfortable, contact your denturist to see if there are adjustments that need to be made.

The main goal of dentures is to make things easier for you. The two biggest day-to-day things that dentures change are eating and speaking. At first, it might feel a little strange, but once you have adjusted to the dentures, eating and speaking will feel more natural. While you are still adjusting to the dentures, it is best to avoid hard or sticky foods and instead eat soft foods or foods that are cut up into small pieces. Missing teeth can make speaking clearly difficult. Dentures will help make that easier. Certain words might be difficult to pronounce while you are adjusting to your dentures, the best fix is reading out loud and practicing words that you have difficulty with. Once you are used to your dentures and they feel more comfortable, your day-to-day life should be completely back to normal, eating whatever you want and speaking clearly.

Proper denture care varies based on the type of dentures you have. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily helps to keep your mouth healthy. If you have removable dentures, pay attention to cleaning the areas under where your dentures fit. Removable dentures can be cleaned separately. Make sure that you follow the cleaning instructions that your dentist gives you.
