What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable sets of false teeth that are used to replace natural teeth that have been lost due to decay, injury, or disease. They are usually made from a polymer or acrylic base with porcelain false teeth attached. Dentures can be worn on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.

Benefits of All-On-X Dental Implants

There are many benefits to getting dentures, including:

1

Improved ability to speak and eat

2

A more youthful appearance

3

Increased self-esteem and confidence

Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures are just one of the two denture options we offer at our practice. This type of denture relies on the support of the gum tissue, or any remaining teeth, for stability. Traditional dentures are available in both full and partial options.

  • A full denture is used when all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced.
  • A partial denture is used when some of the natural teeth remain and are healthy.

While traditional dentures have been around for many years and are a tried-and-true solution for tooth loss, they do have some downsides. One of the biggest complaints about dentures is that they can also slip and slide, making it difficult to eat and speak. In addition, traditional dentures require special adhesives to keep them in place, which can be messy. Despite this, we find that many patients who dislike their dentures simply need to have them fit correctly, which is something our experts excel at. Our team can make sure your denture appliance fits perfectly to ensure maximum support and comfort. 

Snap-In Dentures

In addition to traditional dentures, we also offer snap-in dentures. This type of denture is also known as an implant-supported denture because it relies on dental implants for support instead of adhesive and adherence to the gum tissue.

  • Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants have healed and fused to the bone, they provide a strong and stable base for the denture.

Snap-in dentures are ideal for patients who are seeking the ultimate level of support and stability. Unlike traditional dentures, snap-in dentures do not require the use of adhesive; instead, they are equipped with special attachments that snap into place on the implants. This provides patients with a much more secure fit that is not only comfortable but also convenient.

Whether you are considering dentures for the first time or you are unhappy with your current denture appliance, our Bethesda team can help find the right solution that gets you back to enjoying your life to the fullest. Schedule a consultation today to learn more. 

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of dentures?
  • Traditional Dentures – Fit over your gums and adhere by using denture adhesive.
  • Snap-In Denture – Removable dentures that snap into your mouth like a button. They are held into place by dental implants making your denture more secure and decreasing the chance of sliding or slipping when eating or talking.
  • All-On-Four – Permanent dentures that can only be removed by your dentist. These are the strongest and most long-lasting type of denture.
Can my dentures be specifically designed?
The answer to this question is yes, you completely customize your dentures. You can pick the shade, shape, and length of your teeth, as well as how natural you want them to look. For example, if you have a gap you want to be fixed or want them to look longer, our prosthetic specialists can design your denture to your specifications.
Will people notice they aren’t my natural teeth?
The answer is that most of the time, people will notice your teeth have changed, but someone who doesn’t know you will not see you have dentures, especially if you have implant dentures. Your dentures can look as natural as you want.

Testimonials

What Patients Are Saying

Dr. Yousefi was fantastic. She was calm, funny, and capable. She immediately put me at ease (I was pretty anxious). I have never been numbed up so quickly and near painlessly – and the rest of the procedure was then painless, too. She and her team gave clear directions as to what to do for the next 24 hours and beyond, what to eat, how to care for the flipper temporary tooth, and answered all my questions. The staff called me the next business day to follow up and answered more questions that I had come up with by then. Highly recommend.

Phyllis R.

Sara is an excellent dental hygienist and really cares about her patients. She is very good at providing a regimen to help my gums. Dr. Eskow did my gum revision surgery years ago and he’s the best. I recently needed some more work done around the come on 12 and Dr. Eskow handled it beautifully, and his assistant Emily was great.. And the staff at the front desk always makes it a pleasant visit.

Mimi B.

My family and I have been patients for maybe 10-15 years! After trying a bunch of different dentists, we found Dr. Yousefi and have been happy with her team and their services ever since. She has helped us with minor issues as well as major long-term care, including a broken tooth and a few implants. The service has always been amazing, and we are very happy with the quality and expertise here. The new, amazing facilities with super convenient parking are just the cherry on top!

Dmitry K.

Two weeks post-surgery and I couldn’t recommend this office more. Both doctors are wonderful and clearly very experienced with a patient-first mindset. The office followed up frequently after my surgery to ensure I was recovering well and to answer any questions. After two weeks, I have no pain from the surgery and the gums have already healed up. If you are in need of any dental surgery work, I would 100% recommend this office!

Michael A.

I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Tong and the team at District Dental Surgery! Dr. Tong is an exceptional periodontist who combines professionalism, expertise, and compassion to deliver top-notch patient care. His outstanding communication skills and genuine concern for his patients’ well-being, along with the team’s professionalism, make for a truly exceptional experience. Sara, the hygienist, is also fantastic – her gentle and meticulous approach puts patients at ease. I’m so grateful to have found a dental team that truly prioritizes patient care and comfort!

Guncha K.

Dr. Yousefi could not have been nicer, more attentive, more caring or more professional. I was a bit of a “special needs” patient because of other medical conditions, but Dr. Yousefi was so wonderful to work with and made sure that everything was set – including bringing in a specialist anesthetist, to make my procedure just right. She is also great to communicate with.

Sholto S.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Raha Yousefi for over two years, and she is truly one of the best. From day one, her professionalism and genuine care for her patients were evident. Dr. Yousefi’s expertise in dentistry is outstanding, and she takes the time to explain every step of the treatment, ensuring I feel comfortable and informed. Her warm and compassionate personality makes every visit a pleasant experience, and it’s clear she deeply values her patients. The staff at her practice is equally amazing—always friendly, professional, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Yousefi to anyone seeking a dentist who combines professional excellence with heartfelt care.
