Replace Your Missing Teeth with High-quality Complete Dentures
Losing teeth can feel like the end of the world, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Integrated Family Dentistry offers several teeth replacement options, including complete dentures. If you have lost most or all teeth in one arch or both, rediscover your fully functional smile with high-quality dentures in Eugene, Oregon. They aren’t only an affordable solution, but they also allow you to speak, chew, smile, and enjoy life without restrictions.
What are full dentures?
Complete dentures are a reliable solution for patients who want to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They consist of prosthetic teeth mounted on a gum-colored base to achieve natural-looking results. Unlike what you saw your grandma wear, we ensure these dental restorations fit comfortably and look more natural than ever. Traditional dentures remain secure in the mouth by using adhesives and suction.
My dentist has suggested implant dentures—what are they?
Conventional dentures have been the go-to solution for missing teeth. While they are an affordable and effective solution, traditional dentures don’t work for everyone. Over time, they can become loose as the jawbone shrinks because of tooth loss. Ill-fitting restorations can cause gum irritation and embarrassing slippages.
Dr. Mercedes R. Del Valle offers implant dentures as a stable, predictable alternative to conventional dentures. These dentures are secured in the jawbone with 2-6 implants. They are more secure and stable, and eliminate the need for adhesives.
Are dentures worth it?
Missing teeth can take a toll on your smile and quality of life. Dentures are a time-tested solution that restores appearance, function, and confidence. Here’s why so many people in Eugene, Oregon, are choosing dentures:

What are the maintenance tips for dentures?
Even the best restorations need proper maintenance to keep them healthy and strong. Observe the following maintenance tips to ensure your dentures last many years.
- Daily cleaning: Remove and rinse the dentures with cold/lukewarm water after every use to wash away food particles and saliva. Brush your dentures daily using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleanser. Never use regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface.
- Soak overnight: Take out your removable dentures when sleeping and soak them in water to keep them moist when not in your mouth.
- Handle with care: Always handle your dentures over a soft towel or sink full of water to avoid breakage if dropped. Avoid bending or damaging the plastic or clasps when cleaning.
- Good oral hygiene: Clean your gums, tongue, and remaining teeth before putting your dentures back in. This prevents food debris from getting trapped between your dentures.
- Be consistent with routine visits: Visit your dentist every six months to check the condition of your dentures. Your dentist can also professionally clean and polish your dentures for optimal hygiene.
