Complete and Partial Dentures
Dentures have been a part of dentistry for centuries, but they were not always aesthetically appealing. Today’s modern dentures in Pikesville are carefully crafted and customized to work with your bone structure.
Our denture teeth are meticulously crafted to look like natural teeth, and the foundation of your denture—the palate or arch—is carefully colored to look like a natural gum.
Most patients are good candidates for dentures. But your dentist provides an exam to look at the health and viability of your jaw.
If dentures will work well for your tooth loss, we take impressions, and the results go into the crafting of your prosthetic.
For patients with full tooth loss, we recommend full dentures. If tooth loss is sporadic and your remaining teeth are healthy, we may suggest a partial denture.
Your full denture works with gravity and suction for support. A partial depends on healthy teeth and special clips for stability.
For added solidity, ask your dentist about implant-supported dentures in Pikesville. With this method, we implant four to six replacement roots to lock your denture in place.

We provide dentures to patients in many locations, including Randallstown, Owings Mills, Baltimore, and Towson.
Dentures and partial dentures are a practical alternative to tooth loss, and we offer quality dentures in Pikesville, MD. If you’re considering dentures or have recently acquired them, you may wonder about care.
At Naylors Court Dental Partners, we always provide instructions on how to care for your new dentures or partials. It’s important to remember that dentures are breakable and should always be handled with care.
As a rule, you’ll want to spend a few minutes each day cleaning your dentures to keep them free from stains and bacteria. You should rinse them with water after eating. We also recommend brushing your dentures with a soft denture brush at least once every day, typically before bed. You can use a denture paste, but toothpaste is too harsh.
You should also soak your dentures in a denture bath during the night—using either warm water alone or with denture cleaning tablets. It’s important to keep the denture moist, so it retains its shape.
If you notice cracks in your denture, it’s important to contact your dentist. Cracks can allow bacteria to accumulate or lead to a broken denture.
If you have any questions about dentures or denture care in Pikesville, MD, we invite you to contact our dental treatment team at Naylors Court Dental Partners.
There are several different types of dentures you can get to restore your smile. Not only do dentures complete your smile, but they can also support your facial muscles, improve your speech, and help you bite and chew properly.
Depending on your oral health and smile goals, Dr. Virmani and our team can determine which restorative treatment is right for you.
Here are three of the most common types of dentures that people use to replace missing teeth.
#1 Traditional Complete Full Dentures
Traditional complete full dentures are used when a person doesn’t have any natural teeth left. These dentures sit on top of the gums and help create a more seamless smile.
#2 Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when a person has some remaining natural teeth. The base is connected to a metal piece that holds the dentures in place. Partial dentures rely on surrounding teeth for stability as well, and they help prevent your natural teeth from shifting in the mouth.
#3 Implant-Supported Dentures
Just like the name implies, these dentures are supported by dental implants. The implant is the foundation, providing stability and security for the denture. These dentures are durable, long-lasting, and look just like a natural smile looks.

If you have several missing teeth or complete tooth loss, you might think that dental implants are an impossibility. You might imagine a dental implant for every missing tooth. This does not have to be the case!
Your dentist in Pikesville, MD offers implant-supported dentures and bridges. This means that a few strategically placed implants—think of these as replacement roots—can lock in an entire denture or a bridge. Typically, we can secure a denture with four to six implant posts.
The first step is a chat and an exam with your dentist. If implant-supported dentistry is an option based on exam findings, your dentist schedules implant post placement.
Implant posts are thin but strong screws that your dentist implants in your anesthetized gum. These posts bond with your jawbone over time and create a stable foundation for your restorative appliance. After bonding or integration, your dentist secures your dental bridge or denture.
This method allows you to eat, smile, and laugh with confidence, but it also helps stimulate your jawbone to remain viable and not deteriorate.
