What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. Unlike permanent replacements like dental implants or bridges, dentures can be taken out for cleaning and sleeping. Modern dentures are custom-crafted to look natural, fit comfortably, and restore full function — allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently despite extensive tooth loss.
At Best Dental in Richmond, TX, Dr. Jasmine and Dr. Sonny Naderi design custom dentures precisely matched to your mouth anatomy, facial structure, and aesthetic preferences. Skilled dental technicians fabricate each denture using high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and healthy gum tissue.
Dentures address multiple consequences of tooth loss at once: difficulty chewing nutritious foods, speech changes from missing teeth, facial sagging from lost tooth support, and the self-consciousness that comes with visible gaps. Whether you're replacing all your teeth or just a section, dentures provide effective, affordable replacement that meaningfully improves quality of life. Explore all your missing teeth treatment options.

Benefits of Dentures
Beyond restoring your appearance, dentures address the cascading health and quality-of-life consequences that extensive tooth loss sets in motion.
Complete Your Smile
Fill gaps with natural-looking replacements. Custom tooth shade and shape matching ensures dentures complement your age and facial features seamlessly.
Restore Chewing Ability
Eat nutritious foods again — the ones you've been avoiding because of missing teeth. Dentures restore the chewing ability that makes a balanced diet possible.
Improve Speech Clarity
Speak without slurring or mumbling from missing teeth. Dentures support proper tongue placement for clear, confident pronunciation.
Maintain Facial Structure
Prevent the sunken, aged appearance that comes from years of tooth loss. Dentures provide the support that maintains youthful facial contours and reduces facial collapse.
Most Affordable Option
The most cost-effective way to replace multiple missing teeth. Dentures restore full function at a fraction of the cost of individual implants for every missing tooth.
Flexible & Non-Surgical
Removable dentures require no surgery and no permanent commitment. Take them out for cleaning, sleeping, or dental procedures — adjust the plan as your needs change.
The Denture Process
Complete dentures typically require 4–6 weeks and multiple appointments. Each step is essential to achieving a precise fit and natural appearance.
Initial Consultation & Preliminary Impressions
Dr. Naderi examines the mouth, takes preliminary impressions, and discusses denture options and expectations. If teeth need extraction, the extraction plan is created at this visit.
Final Impressions
After any necessary extractions have healed (typically 6–8 weeks), precise final impressions capture the exact shape of the mouth for custom denture fabrication.
Bite Registration & Tooth Selection
Dr. Naderi establishes the proper bite relationship and vertical dimension. You select the tooth shade and shape that looks natural for your age, skin tone, and facial features.
Try-In Appointment
A wax trial denture lets you see and feel the dentures before final processing. Dr. Naderi verifies fit, bite, and appearance — adjustments made here are far easier than after completion.
Delivery & Fitting
Final dentures are placed. Dr. Naderi verifies fit and function, demonstrates proper insertion and removal, provides care instructions, and addresses any immediate concerns.
Adjustment Appointments
Most patients need 2–3 adjustment visits within the first few weeks as the mouth adapts. These fine-tuning appointments are included in your treatment and ensure lasting comfort.
Immediate Dentures — Never Go Without Teeth
If you need extractions, immediate dentures can be placed the same day — you leave the office with teeth. Dr. Naderi fabricates them from impressions taken before extraction. After gums heal (~6 months), immediate dentures are replaced with conventional dentures for optimal long-term fit.
The Adjustment Period
New dentures feel foreign at first — this is completely normal. Most patients adapt fully within 4–6 weeks. Knowing what to expect makes the process much smoother.
Feeling of Fullness
Dentures feel bulky initially — your mouth perceives them as "too big" even when properly sized. This fades within 1–2 weeks.
Increased Saliva
The mouth produces extra saliva responding to the new appliance. Returns to normal within a few days as your mouth stops treating it as foreign.
Minor Sore Spots
Some areas may develop minor irritation as dentures settle. Dr. Naderi adjusts these at your follow-up appointments — don't try to adjust them yourself.
Eating Learning Curve
Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew evenly on both sides. Gradually reintroduce harder foods as confidence builds over 2–4 weeks.
Temporary Speech Changes
A slight lisp or difficulty with certain sounds is common at first. Practice reading aloud — speech normalizes within 1–2 weeks for most patients.
Gag Reflex
Some patients experience mild gagging, especially with upper dentures. Usually resolves within a few days as the body stops interpreting the denture as a foreign object.
💡 Tips for Faster Adaptation
Care & Maintenance
Proper daily care extends denture life, maintains oral health, and keeps your dentures looking and feeling their best for years.
Rinse After Eating
Remove and rinse dentures under cool running water after meals to clear food particles before they build up.
Brush Daily
Use a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner — never regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive and scratches the surface.
Soak Overnight
Place in denture cleaning solution or plain water nightly. Dentures must never dry out — they warp and lose fit when dehydrated.
Clean Your Gums Too
Brush gums, tongue, and palate with a soft brush daily even without teeth — removes bacteria and stimulates healthy circulation.
Handle with Care
Stand over a folded towel or basin of water when handling — dentures crack or shatter if dropped on a hard surface from even a short height.
Annual Checkups
Visit Best Dental at least annually for professional inspection, cleaning, and fit evaluation — even without natural teeth, oral health monitoring matters.
⚠️ Signs Your Dentures Need Professional Attention:
Cost & Insurance
Denture costs vary by type and materials. Most insurance plans cover 50% — our billing team verifies your benefits and maximizes coverage before treatment begins.
💡 Denture relining every 2–3 years: Even well-made dentures gradually lose their fit as the jawbone and gums naturally shrink over time — especially after tooth loss. A reline restores proper fit without needing entirely new dentures. This is normal, expected maintenance — not a failure of the denture. Implant-supported dentures significantly slow bone loss, reducing how often relining is needed.
