Dentures and Partials in Glen Burnie

Are you considering dentures but worry that they will look fake or never quite fit right? At Glen Burnie Dental Group, those are the two things we focus on most—appearance and comfort—right from your first visit.

What Kinds of Dentures Are There?

  • Full removable dentures replace all of your teeth in the upper, lower, or both jaws.
  • Partial dentures replace some missing teeth while working around the teeth you still have.
  • Implant-supported dentures combine dentures and implants for a secure fit and feel.
  • Full-arch fixed treatment, like All-on-X, when you have all teeth in an upper or lower arch.

Dentures Designed to Look and Feel Right for You

It is important to us that you feel like your dentures look natural and fit comfortably. For appearance, we look at:

  • Your facial shape and proportions
  • Tooth size, shape, and shade
  • Your skin tone, hair color, and eye color
  • The size and shape of your mouth when you smile

Benefits of Dentures at Glen Burnie Dental Group

Dentures and partials are a time-tested and practical way to replace missing teeth. Here is what you can expect:
Comfortable Fit
We’re not satisfied until you are satisfied. Our dentists will work with you before and after placing your dentures to ensure they fit comfortably and don’t cause irritation or sore spots.
Improved Speaking and Chewing
After an adjustment period, replacing missing teeth with dentures can make everyday actions like eating and speaking easier and more comfortable than living with gaps or failing teeth.
A Non-Surgical Option
Conventional dentures and partials replace missing teeth without implant surgery. They may be an option if you do not qualify for implants or prefer not to have implant surgery.

Most patients need a few weeks to adjust to new dentures, though everyone's timeline is a little different. Eating, speaking, and general comfort often improve gradually as you get used to wearing them.

What to Expect with New Dentures

  • Eating may feel awkward at first. Starting with softer foods and adding more variety over time can help.
  • Speech may sound slightly different for a while as your tongue and lips adjust.
  • Increased saliva is common in the first few days and typically settles down.
  • Mild soreness or pressure spots can happen as your mouth adjusts.

When to Call Us

Some adjustment is normal, but you should not ignore ongoing pain, sores, or loose-fitting dentures. Follow-up visits let us make adjustments so your dentures fit and feel the way they should.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Follow these steps to get the most out of your dentures:

  • Clean daily, as recommended by your dentist
  • Continue cleaning your gums and any remaining natural teeth
  • Remove your dentures as recommended, often at night
  • Keep up with regular dental visits, since fit can change over time

Adjusting to new dentures takes some patience, but you do not have to navigate it alone. Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300, or book online.

We welcome patients from surrounding communities, including Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. Our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi.

We Aim for Your Complete Satisfaction

Our goal for you is dentures that look like your smile. We can even add subtle imperfections, such as tiny rotations or overlaps, for a more realistic appearance.

Fit matters just as much as appearance. Dentures that rub, slip, or feel loose affect your daily life, not just your smile. We take the time to design your dentures to fit comfortably, then make adjustments as needed.

What's Involved with Getting Dentures?

Getting dentures generally involves:

  • An evaluation, including a review of any remaining teeth
  • Removal of remaining teeth if needed
  • Impressions or digital scans of your mouth
  • A denture try-in using a mockup of your dentures so you can see the expected results
  • Fabrication of your dentures by a trusted custom dental lab
  • A fitting appointment when your new dentures are ready
  • Follow-up visits to adjust your fit as needed

Dentures and Partials Technology

Digital Impressions

Digital Impressions

Traditional dental impressions meant biting into a tray of cold, sticky paste and holding still while it set. Digital impressions replace that entire process with a small, handheld scanning wand that captures a precise 3D image of your teeth in just minutes.

The process is straightforward. We gently guide the wand over your teeth, and the scanner instantly creates a detailed, virtual 3D model. That model serves as the foundation for planning restorations, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and custom whitening trays. Because the images are so accurate, your final restoration is more likely to fit comfortably the first time, reducing the need for adjustments and saving you time in the chair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dentures cost?

Cost depends on whether you need full or partial dentures, how many teeth need to be replaced or removed, and the materials you choose. We’ll check your insurance benefits before treatment, and we accept Medicare, Medicaid, state insurance, and many PPO plans. Financing is also available through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

Our dentists recommend removing dentures at night. This allows you to soak your dentures to keep them clean and give your gums a rest. We will give you specific guidance for your situation.

What should I do if my dentures start to feel loose?

Call our office. Dentures can shift over time as your mouth changes, and adjustments are a normal part of care, not a sign that something went wrong.
