Dentures
When you’re missing most or all of your teeth, the right dentures can greatly improve your comfort and confidence. Choosing a natural-looking, reliable option is essential for restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
Custom Denture Solutions at Finger Lakes Dental
Dentures are prosthetic teeth secured to a gum-colored base and are commonly used when someone is missing most or all of their natural teeth. They help restore your ability to chew comfortably and enjoy a natural-looking smile, making them a dependable solution for significant tooth loss. Dentures can be designed to fit your mouth precisely and can be either removable or supported by dental implants for added stability and function.
At Finger Lakes Dental Care, we offer a variety of denture options to meet your needs, including traditional removable dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and fixed dentures that stay in place with implants. Your dentist will help you choose the best type based on your oral health, preferences, and lifestyle. With expert care at any of our New York locations, we’ll ensure your dentures fit well and help you smile, speak, and eat with confidence.

How do I clean my dentures?
To clean your dentures, remove them and gently brush them daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive and cause scratches. After brushing, rinse your dentures thoroughly with water to remove any remaining cleanser.
It’s also important to soak your dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and maintain their shape. In the morning, rinse them well before placing them back in your mouth. Don’t forget to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth to maintain overall oral health. Regular checkups with your dentist will help ensure your dentures continue to fit and function properly.
