Restore Your Smile With Custom Dentures
Dentures are a time-tested and effective solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth. At Dental Pro, we craft custom dentures designed to fit the unique contours of your mouth, providing a comfortable, secure, and natural-looking restoration. Whether you need a full set of dentures or are exploring other tooth replacement options, our experienced team in Arlington, MA is here to help you find the right solution for your smile and your lifestyle.
Tooth loss affects far more than just aesthetics. When teeth are missing, the surrounding teeth can begin to drift out of position, your jawbone can deteriorate over time due to lack of stimulation, and everyday activities like eating and speaking can become more difficult. Addressing tooth loss with dentures helps preserve the structure of your mouth and supports your long-term oral health.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Complete Dentures: Full dentures are designed for patients who are missing all of their teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. They rest directly on the gums and are custom-fabricated to fit your mouth precisely. Complete dentures restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are placed on the same day that your remaining teeth are extracted, so you are never without a smile during the healing process. As your gums heal and reshape after extractions, adjustments to your dentures may be needed to maintain a proper fit.
Implant-Supported Dentures: For patients looking for a more permanent and stable solution, dentures can be anchored to dental implants to prevent slipping and provide a more natural feel. Ask our team at Dental Pro whether implant restoration combined with dentures may be the right option for you.
If you are only missing some of your teeth and still have healthy natural teeth remaining, denture partials may be a more suitable option. Our team will evaluate your unique situation and recommend the most appropriate restoration for your needs.
What to Expect With Your Dentures
At Dental Pro, the denture process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including an assessment of your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone. We will take precise impressions of your mouth to ensure your dentures are crafted to fit accurately and comfortably. The fabrication process may involve multiple fitting appointments to refine the fit, appearance, and bite of your dentures before your final appliance is delivered.
Once you receive your dentures, our team will provide you with detailed at-home care instructions to help keep your dentures clean and your gums healthy. We strongly recommend scheduling periodic follow-up visits at Dental Pro for professional denture cleanings and oral health evaluations. Regular checkups also allow our team to monitor the fit of your dentures over time, as changes in your gum and bone structure can affect how your dentures sit in your mouth.
In addition to dentures, Dental Pro offers a full range of cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry services to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile. You can also support your overall oral health with routine dental cleanings and exams at our Arlington, MA office. To explore all of the services we offer, visit our dental services page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
What types of dentures does Dental Pro Arlington offer?
At Dental Pro, we offer complete dentures for patients missing all teeth in one or both arches, immediate dentures for patients who need replacements on the same day as extractions, and can discuss implant-supported options for patients seeking a more permanent solution. If you are missing only some of your teeth, denture partials may be the better fit for your needs.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are custom-designed to fit the unique shape of your mouth, which greatly improves comfort compared to older, one-size-fits-all solutions. There is typically an adjustment period as you get used to wearing them, but most patients adapt within a few weeks. Our team at Dental Pro will work closely with you throughout the fitting process to ensure your dentures are as comfortable as possible.
How do I care for my dentures?
Proper denture care involves removing them daily, rinsing them after meals, and brushing them gently with a soft brush and denture cleaner — not regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive. Soaking them overnight helps maintain their shape and hygiene. You should also continue brushing your gums and any remaining natural teeth, and visit Dental Pro regularly for professional cleanings and exams.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last many years. However, the fit of your dentures may change over time as your gum tissue and jawbone naturally reshape. Regular follow-up appointments at Dental Pro allow our team to monitor the fit and make any necessary adjustments or relines to keep your dentures comfortable and functional. In some cases, dentures may eventually need to be replaced.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, dentures restore much of your ability to eat a wide variety of foods. There is typically a short adjustment period during which softer foods are recommended as you get used to chewing with your new dentures. Over time, most patients are able to enjoy a normal diet. If you find that your dentures slip or feel unstable while eating, talk to our team at Dental Pro — adjustments or implant-supported options may help.
What is the difference between dentures and denture partials?
Complete dentures are used when all or most teeth in an arch are missing, while denture partials are designed for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. Partials attach to surrounding teeth and fill in the gaps, whereas full dentures rest entirely on the gums. Our team at Dental Pro will help determine which option is right for your unique situation.
