You Can Repair Your Smile And Change Your Life The Many Benefits of Dentures
Increased Dental Function
Missing teeth can hinder your ability to chew and even alter your speech patterns. Dentures can allow you to eat and speak without hindrance.
Improve the Aesthetics of Your Smile
Missing teeth can distract from your smile, cause jaw recession, and make your mouth look sunken and aged. Traditional dentures will fill out your facial structure while implant-supported restorations preserve your bone density.
Enhance Your Self-Confidence
Prosthetic teeth restore your ability to eat the foods you like, confidently speak in public, and show off your smile with pride. As a result, dentures can even improve your self-esteem and help you live a better quality of life.

"My denture was totally destroyed...Dearborn Family Dentistry
rebuilt it for me the same day!"
Joel Myers

I really can’t say enough good things about the staff and facilities here. Would absolutely recommend to anyone anywhere. I recently moved out of the Dearborn area and will drive the 45 minutes to this office as long as I have teeth. And once I don’t, I’ll come here for dentures. Dr. Luria and his team are incredible!

Dr Mark Luria and staff are the most professional and caring people I have ever met. My Rottweiler puppy decided to chew my upper denture. Dearborn Family Dentistry rebuilt it for me the same day. Ten days later, the puppy struck again! This time my denture was totally destroyed! Within 12 days and lots of labor from Dr Luria and staff, I'm smiling again! I'm very pleased at the way the staff were so pleasant and worked so hard to help me as fast as possible.
View On GoogleThe Different Types of Dentures
Dentures are prosthodontic devices designed to replace several missing teeth. They are custom-designed to repair everything from several consecutive missing teeth to complete tooth loss. Take a closer look at the different kinds of dentures Dearborn Family Dentistry can craft for you:
A partial denture can fill in the gaps in your smile, even when you have missing teeth in different areas of your mouth. Small metal clasps connect the partial denture to adjacent natural teeth, anchoring the prosthetic and providing additional security. Our partial dentures are designed to fit comfortably in your smile, preserve the balance of your bite, and prevent your remaining teeth from shifting.
Conventional complete dentures consist of a full dental arch of porcelain or plastic teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. Our dentist may extract any remaining damaged or decayed teeth to create a healthy foundation for your restoration. Complete or "full" dentures are secured to the gums through the aid of suction and a mild adhesive.
Dental implants are surgically placed posts that support your denture with maximum stability. Implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and can last decades with proper care and maintenance. Unlike other dental practices, the team at Dearborn Family Dentistry can provide all the steps of dental implant treatment conveniently under one roof.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-Supported Dentures Are Highly Stable and Durable
Our doctor can place four or more dental implants to anchor a full dental arch. These posts can last a lifetime and can save you money on tooth restoration in the long run. 
Implant-supported dentures have all the same benefits as their traditional counterparts and more. Implant-supported dentures won’t slip out of place while you’re eating or speaking. The implants themselves also help prevent your jawbone from deteriorating, which happens naturally if you’re missing teeth. Traditional dentures can accelerate that bone loss.
Implants can even help you save money on the long-term expenses of dental restorations: if your gums and jawbone change shape, a traditional pair of dentures may not fit as well anymore. By maintaining the jawbone, implants can help your dentures last longer and decrease the number of replacements you may need in the future.
Ask Our Dentists About Implant-Supported Dentures
While implants and implant-supported dentures offer some of the best results for missing teeth, the treatment is more involved.
As members of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Dr. Luria and Dr. Allswang have the training to answer questions about the procedure during a consultation.
Our practice also offers seminars on dental implants so you can learn more about this revolutionary technique that can be used to replace a single tooth or all of your teeth.
You can also submit your questions directly in this form and we'll get back to you. Or call our office in Dearborn, MI, to get answers now or to request a consultation:

Cost Friendly Treatment and Financing Options
A common concern for patients with missing teeth is being able to afford dentures. It is important to know that traditional dentures are often covered partially or completely by insurance providers. While this type is the most cost-friendly option upfront, many patients find that dental implants are worth the additional investment for their added benefits and long-term savings.
We believe all of our patients deserve access to the very highest quality of care. To help make treatment more affordable, we offer financing options through CareCredit® and LendingClub®, allowing you to make low-interest monthly payments for any out-of-pocket expenses.
Dearborn Family Dentistry strives to give you fair and transparently priced treatment and will provide a personal estimate at your consultation appointment.
Timeline for Traditional Dentures
Before undergoing dental treatment, it is important to know what to expect. Here is a typical timeline for traditional denture treatment:
Your dentures are made at the trusted local lab we have worked with for over 40 years.
What Do the Results Look Like?
Using modern dental technology, we carefully design and craft comfortable long-lasting dentures that restore your oral function.
When Should I Contact a Dentist About My Dentures?
Changed Fit
While many patients may use adhesives to help hold their dentures in place, adhesives cannot restore the function of your smile like a good-fitting pair of dentures can. Unless you have certain oral conditions or a job that requires a lot of singing or public speaking, you should not need to use heavy amounts of adhesive to hold your dentures in place. If your dentures keep slipping, you should contact our office and ask about getting a new pair.
Damaged Dentures
Older pairs of dentures may become more susceptible to damage, especially if they dry out. If you notice a crack or break in your dentures, you should contact our office immediately. Try to collect any missing chips or pieces that fell off and bring them with you to our office. Do not try to fix the dentures yourself, as this could damage the materials even more. Our team will work quickly to provide a new pair if your current dentures cannot be fixed.
Don't Settle for a Loose Fit Contact Our Practice About Denture Replacements
Our practice has been helping Dearborn patients take care of their dental restorations for over 70 years, and we can do the same for you. Our staff will be happy to answer any questions you have about denture maintenance and what to do during a dental emergency.

View on GoogleDenture Care and Maintenance
On average, well-cared-for conventional dentures will last five to eight years. It is important to attend regular dental check-ups and practice good oral hygiene in addition to maintaining your prosthetic teeth. Our dentist will advise you on proper techniques to care for your dentures, including:
Remove and Rinse after Meals
When possible, you should remove your dentures and wash them after every meal to keep them free of food particles and other loose debris.
Handle the Prosthetic Carefully
Make sure not to warp or bend the acrylic base when removing your denture. Wash them over a towel or bowl of water to prevent damage if they accidentally slip from your hands.
Soak Overnight
A good pair of removable dentures can become warped or cracked if you leave them out to dry, so you should soak them overnight in a dedicated cleaning solution or lukewarm glass of water.
Avoid Abrasives and Excess Pressure
Use a small-to medium-headed toothbrush to clean the prosthetic at least once daily with non-abrasive toothpaste. Be careful when eating especially hard foods as your denture is prone to the same cracks and damage as natural teeth.
Follow Your Instructions
While dedicated cleaning solutions can help keep your dentures clean, some solutions and denture types are not compatible. Check with our dentist before buying any cleaners or adhesives to make sure they won't damage the denture materials.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry can help you relax during our treatments, but sedation is not only used for dental anxiety.
Common conditions like arthritis can make sitting still a challenge for some patients. With sedation, we can provide a more comfortable experience in the dental chair and help the process go a little faster.
Our practice offers nitrous oxide, a light form of sedation that you inhale through a mask to ease your tension. For related procedures like implants, we can combine local anesthesia and nitrous oxide for a virtually painless experience.
