Don't Let a Denture That Doesn't Fit Hold You Back

Full & Partial Dentures in Greeley CO

A smiling older couple | dentures Greeley Has the time come for you to consider dentures? Tooth loss can feel embarrassing, and if you are struggling with the loss of multiple teeth, a full denture or a partial denture may be the solution to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.

Greeley, CO dentist, Dr. Andrew Bagley, helps patients reclaim their smiles and their confidence with both removable dentures and implant-retained dentures.

Full Dentures in Greeley

A full or complete denture is an oral appliance that replaces all of your teeth. It can be a traditional removable appliance or dental implants can be used to support it. Using dental implants eliminates any movement or slippage when you talk or eat.

If you’re thinking of the denture that your parents or grandparents wore and find yourself cringing, you should know that today’s dentures have advanced significantly. They are thoughtfully designed so that they form an excellent fit to your facial structure. They are also designed to achieve excellent aesthetics that complement your appearance.

Dr. Bagley works closely with a trusted local dental lab using the best materials to create a denture you will feel comfortable and proud to wear.

Partial Dentures in Greeley

A partial denture is ideal for those patients missing multiple teeth, but who still have many healthy teeth remaining. A partial denture fits similarly to a retainer - with clasps that attach to healthy teeth and keep it in place. Then, like a puzzle piece, a partial denture slides into place and the attached artificial teeth fill in the open spaces and restore your smile.

Why It's Important to Restore Your Smile

Multiple missing teeth cause a host of concerns that impact your smile and daily life. Here are some reasons to consider replacing your missing teeth.

Facial Structure

Dentures help preserve your natural facial structure, protecting against the facial collapse that occurs with tooth loss.

Confidence Boost

Having your beautiful smile restored can provide a significant boost to your confidence and help you achieve your goals.

Restored Function

Chewing and eating with your full or partial denture is more comfortable and efficient than trying to eat with missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sleep in my dentures?

Wearing dentures overnight can put extra pressure on your gums and jawbone. Over time, this constant pressure may lead to:

Irritation or sores on your gums
Inflammation and discomfort
Bone loss in your jaw, which can affect the fit of your dentures and your overall oral health

The Benefits of Removing Dentures at Night

Healthier gums — Resting your gums overnight reduces inflammation and keeps tissue strong.
Easier cleaning — With dentures out, it’s simpler to thoroughly clean them and your mouth, removing bacteria and preventing odor.
Better fit over time — Allowing your jaw and gums to relax may improve the fit and comfort of your dentures during the day.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

If you’re new to sleeping without dentures, consider these tips:

Place your dentures in a clean container with water or denture solution overnight to keep them from drying out.
Clean your dentures thoroughly each night before storing them.
Gently massage your gums with a soft toothbrush or your finger to stimulate circulation and reduce sensitivity.

Will dentures hurt?

When you first start wearing dentures, your gums, jaw, and tongue need time to adapt. During this adjustment period, you may notice:

Mild soreness or tenderness in your gums
Pressure spots in certain areas of your mouth
Changes in speech or chewing as you learn to use your new dentures

These sensations are usually temporary. Most people find that discomfort decreases within a few weeks as their mouth gets used to the dentures and the gums toughen slightly.

When Discomfort Might Signal a Problem

While some soreness is normal, persistent pain, irritation, or rubbing is a sign that your dentures may need adjustment. Common issues include:

Poor fit causing constant rubbing or pressure
Irritation or sores that don’t heal
Difficulty chewing or speaking even after a few weeks of adjustment

Please don't ignore these signs, and instead, call us for guidance!

Is Your Denture Slipping?

If you’re already living with a denture that is not fitting properly, we know it can be very frustrating. It is difficult to eat with a denture that moves and it can be embarrassing to talk with other people when you’re worried about your teeth slipping out.

Your denture may need to simply be relined to improve the fit. If a denture reline isn’t the right choice for you, you may want to consider using dental implants to hold your denture in place.

A few tooth implants can be placed in your bone, and then we design your denture to fit onto them, which eliminates any movement. Implants also help to keep your bone from deteriorating, which happens over time with traditional dentures and can affect the way your denture fits.
