​
What Are Dentures, and How Do They Work?
Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They can be removable or implant-supported, and are custom-crafted to restore both function and appearance. Dentures help support the cheeks and lips, improve chewing ability, and allow for more natural speech.
While dental implants are a permanent option and bridges may work for smaller gaps, dentures remain a practical, effective solution for many patients, especially those needing full-arch or flexible replacement.
​
How Do I Know If I Need Dentures?
You may be a good candidate for dentures if you’re experiencing:
-
Multiple missing or severely damaged teeth
-
Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
-
Gum sensitivity or shifting teeth due to gaps
A personal consultation with our team can help determine whether complete dentures or partial dentures are best for your oral health goals.
​
What Are the Benefits of Denture Teeth Replacements?
Replacing missing teeth with dentures has a wide range of benefits:
-
Restores your smile and self-confidence
-
Improves your ability to chew a full range of foods
-
Enhances speech and phonetics
-
Prevents facial sagging and premature aging
-
More cost-effective than implants or bridgework
Our denture services are tailored to ensure comfort, aesthetics, and function, so you can enjoy life without holding back.
​
What Types of Dentures Are Available at Ryba Dentistry?
At Ryba Dentistry, we provide a range of denture options to suit your specific needs:
-
Complete Dentures – Replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch.
-
Partial Dentures – Fill in gaps from multiple missing teeth; crafted from acrylic, metal, or flexible materials.
During your consultation, Dr. Ryba will walk you through the best choice for your lifestyle and oral health.
​
What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?
Our step-by-step process ensures a great fit and natural appearance:
-
Impressions taken digitally or with putty molds
-
Wax rim fitting to determine bite and height
-
Tooth color and size selection for aesthetics
-
Try-in with wax denture to test appearance and function
-
Final fitting and denture delivery
-
Reline visit (especially for immediate dentures) after 6–8 weeks to improve fit
​
Can I Sleep With My Dentures In?
While it's possible, we typically recommend removing your dentures at night. This gives your gum tissues time to rest and helps reduce the risk of irritation or infection. Store your dentures in a cleansing solution overnight, and follow cleaning instructions to keep them in excellent condition.
​
Can I Eat Normally With Dentures?
Yes, but it takes a little time to adjust. We recommend:
-
Starting with soft foods
-
Cutting food into smaller pieces
-
Chewing evenly on both sides of the mouth
With practice, your chewing ability will improve, and most patients return to enjoying a full, varied diet.
​
How Long Do Dentures Typically Last?
Most dentures last 5 to 10 years, depending on:
-
The materials used
-
Your daily care routine
-
Natural changes in your mouth and gums over time
Regular visits to Ryba Dentistry allow us to monitor fit and recommend denture relines or repairs when necessary.
​
How Do I Care for My Dentures at Home?
Caring for your dentures properly will keep them looking and feeling their best:
-
Brush daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture-safe cleanser
-
Never use hot water—it can cause warping
-
Soak dentures overnight in a cleaning solution
-
Handle with care to avoid breakage
If your denture is damaged or ill-fitting, contact us to schedule denture repairs at our Cleveland or Seven Hills locations.
​
How Much Do Dentures Cost?
Denture costs depend on:
-
The type of denture (full, partial, or implant-supported)
-
Materials used
-
How many teeth need replacing
We’ll provide a personalized estimate at your consultation. We also accept many insurance plans and offer financing options to make care accessible.
