Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in various forms, including complete dentures for replacing all teeth and partial dentures for replacing only a few missing teeth, offering a comfortable and natural-looking solution.
Complete dentures are crafted to replace all natural teeth in an arch. If you have some remaining teeth that need to be removed, we offer two options: immediate dentures, which are available right away, and conventional dentures, which are made a few months after tooth removal to ensure the most precise and comfortable fit as your mouth heals.
Both types are custom-designed to restore the natural appearance of your smile and support the healthy shape of your face.
For patients who are only missing a few teeth but prefer an alternative to permanent tooth implants, partial dentures are an excellent option. These removable appliances fill the gaps created by missing teeth, preventing other teeth from shifting.
Dr. Krothapalli can discuss the different types of partial dentures available and help you determine which solution best meets your individual needs and comfort level.
Modern dentures are custom-made to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. They are a non-surgical solution that can significantly improve your quality of life.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from patients in Nashua and nearby towns.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw when all natural teeth are missing. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when some natural teeth remain, filling the gaps left by missing teeth and preventing other teeth from shifting.
Adjusting to new dentures can take a few weeks to a few months. During this period, you may experience minor discomfort, changes in speech, and difficulty eating. Our team will provide guidance and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure a comfortable fit and address any concerns.
While dentures allow you to eat many foods, it is recommended to start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Gradually introduce harder foods, being mindful to chew on both sides of your mouth to distribute pressure evenly. Avoid very sticky or hard foods that could damage your dentures.
Denture care involves daily cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. It is important to remove your dentures at night and soak them in a denture cleaning solution or water, which helps keep them moist and maintains their shape.
Modern dentures are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, making them significantly more comfortable than older generations of dentures. While an initial adjustment period is normal, they are designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit for daily wear.
Initially, dentures might affect your speech, causing you to lisp or sound slightly different. Practicing speaking aloud, reading, and repeating difficult words can help your tongue and mouth muscles adapt, improving your speech over time.
