Dentures in Reno

For patients with missing teeth, dentures can provide an effective, natural-looking solution to restore self-confidence and jaw function, making it easier to chew and speak. Custom-made in a dental lab to fit an individual’s mouth, dentures will adhere securely to the patient’s gums for an improved smile that is both comfortable and easy to care for. Dentures can be conveniently removed and replaced in the evenings or throughout the day for cleaning purposes.

If you’re interested in getting dentures, Absolute Dental in Reno can help. We accept most dental insurances and have flexible payment options for patients with no insurance coverage.

What are dentures?

People lose teeth for various reasons, including accidents, infections, and teeth grinding. Dentures are artificial teeth created to replace those missing teeth. Dentures have a base designed to fit over the bone ridge that is used to hold your missing teeth. This base blends into your gums and holds your artificial porcelain or resin teeth in place. The difference in your smile before and after dentures is undeniable. Investing in the best dentures in Reno, NV, restores your smile and boosts your confidence while supporting your remaining teeth.

What Patients Can Expect with New Dentures

Different types of dentures

As with any dental procedure, it will take some time for patients to adjust to their new dentures. It is common for patients to feel uncomfortable or awkward while eating or speaking for several weeks after getting their newly-fitted dentures. But after some practice, they will begin to feel more natural and everyday interactions will become easier.

With new dentures, patients commonly experience:

  • A bulky or loose feeling in the mouth. This will subside as the muscles in the tongue and cheeks strengthen and adjust to hold the dentures in place.
  • Increase in saliva flow. Hypersalivation is a reaction to an outside object in the mouth but will improve with time as patients get used to wearing the dentures.
  • Minor irritation or soreness. As the mouth and gums adjust to accommodate the dentures, the irritation should go away completely. If you experience excessive pain or bleeding, see your dentist right away as it may be an indication the dentures do not fit correctly or other issues have developed.

How much do dentures cost? 

Several factors affect the cost of getting dentures. Some people need full dentures to replace all of their teeth. Others need partial dentures to compensate for a few missing teeth. And whether you need upper and lower dentures or can opt for removable partial dentures to replace your missing teeth, the costs are higher if you need teeth extractions. 

Other factors that affect the final price include your location, the materials used to make your dentures, and whether you opt for removable or implant-supported dentures. 

Cigna reports that the average price tag for dentures is $1,300. Aflac reports that affordable partial dentures could cost as little as $500, but those who need full dentures may pay as much as $3,500. Some dental insurance plans cover the cost of dentures or related costs, such as tooth extractions.

Types of Dentures

This full denture option is made for patients who’ve had all their teeth removed but need to wait until the gums are fully healed before placing the dentures. This can often take several months, and the patient goes without teeth for the duration of the healing process.

Unlike conventional full dentures, these dentures are immediately inserted after removal of the remaining teeth. Measurements of the gums and jaw are taken before the procedure, so the dentures are ready to be placed. Many patients prefer this option because they don’t have to be without teeth for an extended period of time. However, the dentures must be relined as the bone heals and reshapes.

When not all teeth are missing, partial dentures are an ideal option. Made from both metal and acrylic, they accommodate the remaining natural teeth while providing durable false teeth to improve the overall strength of the jaw and mouth. They also prevent shifting of the other teeth and further structural damage.

We’re happy to answer all your questions and discuss the best options for you at any of our Absolute Dental Reno locations!

Benefits of implant-supported dentures 

Unlike regular full and partial dentures, implant retained dentures stay in your mouth. Your orthodontist in Reno will install a post into your jawbone. The dentures snap onto the posts. Implant retained dentures help protect and strengthen your jaw, preventing bone loss.

Missing teeth can result in bone loss, eventually changing how your face looks. 

In addition to preventing bone loss and retaining the shape of your jawbone, implant dentures also help maintain your face shape. 

Implant-supported dentures are considered permanent dentures for a reason. These dentures are built to last, and you won’t need to see your dentist every five years or so to get new dentures. Implant dentures are designed to last for decades.

Permanent dentures are more comfortable than removable dentures, and they strengthen your bite, giving you the force you need to tear and chew food. 

Another bonus of opting for permanent dentures is that you don’t have to worry about misplacing them since they always stay in your mouth.
