At Aglow Dental Studio, we provide expertly crafted full and partial dentures to patients in Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and surrounding areas of Northern Virginia. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or a full arch, our dentures are designed to bring back your smile’s beauty and functionality—comfortably and affordably.
Understanding the Types of Dentures
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth. At Aglow Dental Studio, we offer both full and partial dentures, each customized to suit your specific oral health needs and aesthetic goals.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. They rest securely on the gums and are ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth due to decay, injury, or age-related conditions.
We offer two types of full dentures:
- Conventional Full Dentures: Placed after the remaining teeth are removed and the gums have healed.
- Immediate Full Dentures: Inserted the same day teeth are extracted, helping you avoid going without teeth during healing.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill gaps caused by missing teeth and are held in place by metal or acrylic clasps that attach to your existing teeth. They’re a flexible, cost-effective option for patients not ready for dental implants.
Benefits of Dentures at Aglow Dental Studio
Choosing Aglow Dental Studio for your dentures offers many advantages:
- Customized Fit: Each denture is designed to match the contours of your gums and jaw for maximum comfort.
- Natural Appearance: Our dentures are crafted to resemble natural teeth and gum tissue for a lifelike look.
- Improved Chewing & Speaking: Eat and speak more confidently without the worry of missing teeth.
- Prevent Facial Sagging: Dentures help maintain facial structure and support your lips and cheeks.
- Affordable & Accessible: A trusted alternative to more complex restorations, like All-on-4 implants.
The Denture Process
At Aglow Dental Studio, we take a step-by-step approach to ensure a successful, comfortable denture experience:
- Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive exam, assessing your gums, jawbone, and remaining teeth. If extractions are needed, we’ll plan accordingly. - Impressions & Measurements
Digital or physical impressions are taken to design your custom-fitted denture. - Try-In & Adjustments
A preliminary model is tried on for adjustments in fit and appearance before the final denture is fabricated. - Final Placement
Once your denture is ready, we ensure a secure fit and provide full instructions for care and maintenance.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of your dentures:
- Rinse after meals and brush daily with a soft denture brush.
- Soak dentures overnight in a cleaning solution.
- Visit Aglow Dental Studio regularly for fit adjustments and oral exams.
- Report any sore spots, looseness, or discomfort promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How long do dentures last?
Most dentures last between 5 to 10 years with proper care. Over time, changes in your jawbone and gums may require adjustments or replacements.
Will dentures affect how I eat or speak?
There may be a short adjustment period, but most patients quickly adapt. Our dentures are custom-fit to help restore your ability to chew and speak with ease.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of dentures. We encourage you to contact our office or visit our financing and insurance page for more details.
What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are still present. Your dentist will help determine which is right for you.
Can I get dental implants later?
Yes. Many patients transition from traditional dentures to dental implants or All-on-4 solutions for a more permanent option.
