Losing multiple teeth affects far more than appearance. It changes how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. Modern dentures have come a long way from the bulky, obvious appliances of the past. Today's custom dentures are designed to look natural, fit snugly, and function well — giving you back the confidence and comfort you deserve.
At Newpoint Family Dental in Unionville, CT, we take the time to craft dentures that are truly custom to your mouth, your facial structure, and your preferences. No two patients are alike, and no two sets of dentures should be either.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth (upper, lower, or both). They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction, adhesive, or — for the most secure fit — dental implants.
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. They use discreet clasps or precision attachments to stay in place and fill the gaps, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting.
Implant-supported dentures snap onto two to four dental implants for a significantly more stable and secure fit. Many patients who've struggled with loose or uncomfortable conventional dentures find implant-retained options transformative.
The Denture Process
Creating your dentures typically involves several appointments over a few weeks. We take detailed impressions, determine your bite relationship, select tooth shades and shapes that complement your features, and have you try in a wax model before the final denture is fabricated. This process ensures the fit, appearance, and function are exactly right before you leave with your finished appliance.
Adjusting to New Dentures
New dentures require a brief adjustment period. You may experience minor soreness and need to practice eating and speaking with them. We schedule follow-up appointments to make adjustments and ensure everything fits comfortably. Most patients adapt within a few weeks and wonder why they waited so long.
Families throughout Farmington Valley trust Newpoint for dentures because we don't rush the process — we invest the time to get the fit, appearance, and comfort right.
