Custom Dentures in Westfield and Cranford, New Jersey
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base that can be designed to fit securely in your mouth with or without the help of dental implants. For patients missing all or most of their teeth due to injury, decay, or aging, dentures offer an effective way to regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Whether you need full dentures or partial dentures, we’re here to guide you through the process. The denture treatment process typically involves four key appointments:
- 1st appointment — Records appointments consisting of scans, impressions, and photos for our laboratory to begin fabrication of your custom dentures
- 2nd appointment — Final impression appointment and bite alignment
- 3rd appointment — Wax teeth try in/final approval
- 4th appointment — Final delivery and adjustment
If you’re wondering where to get dentures or how much dentures cost, our team can walk you through the options and help find a solution that fits your needs and budget.

What are the different types of dentures available?
There are several types of dentures to suit different dental needs. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and are ideal for patients missing all of their natural teeth. Partial dentures are designed to replace several missing teeth while fitting around the remaining natural teeth. For those seeking additional stability, implant-supported dentures provide a secure option by attaching dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering a more permanent solution.

How long do dentures typically last before needing replacement?
On average, dentures last between 5 to 10 years before they may need to be replaced or repaired. Over time, the shape of your mouth can change, which may cause your dentures to become loose or uncomfortable. Regular dental visits and proper care can help extend the lifespan of your dentures, but they will eventually need to be adjusted or replaced. Our denture repair services in Westfield and Cranford, NJ, are available to ensure your dentures fit and function properly.

How should I care for my dentures to ensure they last?
To keep your dentures in good condition, it’s important to clean them daily using a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive. When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in water or a denture solution to prevent them from drying out.
