Rebuild Your Smile
With Dentures

If your missing teeth have affected how you enjoy food, share smiles, and laugh out loud, know that Dr. Aquino at White Oak Dental & Orthodontics in Avenel has your back with dentures that bring your smile back to life.

Our Denture Options

Extensive tooth loss affects more than just your appearance — missing teeth can seriously impact your overall quality of life by changing the way you bite, chew, and speak.

But guess what? You don’t have to settle for an incomplete, partially functioning grin. Improve the appearance and function of your mouth with dentures from White Oak Dental & Orthodontics.

After Dr. Aquino gives you the thumbs-up for dentures, we’ll map out a treatment plan for you. Depending on your smile needs, our team will point you toward the best tooth replacement game plan.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures fill in the gaps where you're missing a few teeth. They latch onto your natural teeth for stability, blending in with a gum-colored base and artificial teeth.

Full Dentures

Are you missing all your teeth on the top or bottom? Full dentures can help. They come with a natural-looking, gum-colored base and realistic customized teeth. These dentures rest snugly on your gums and stay put with natural suction, a bit of denture glue, or both.

Implant Dentures

Take your dentures to the next level with implant dentures. Dr. Aquino anchors them to titanium posts in your jawbone. They won't slip or slide out of place — guaranteed.

Why do people love dentures? Let's count the ways:

Are You a Candidate for Dentures?

Are you missing several teeth? An entire arch? Dentures may be your path to a better smile.

However, the only way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Aquino.

At this appointment, he’ll conduct an oral examination, review your medical history, and ask about your goals to determine if dentures are the right option for you.

Here are some ways you can prepare for your consultation at White Oak Dental & Orthodontics:

Get a health check: Ensure your primary care physician gives you the green light for minor surgery. You should also arrange to have your medical records sent to our Avenel office.
Tackle dental issues: You’ll need to address any existing tooth decay or gum issues before moving forward with your denture procedure.
Be prepared for the long haul: Dentures can be a challenging fix. The process can take several months, and you should expect some time to adjust to eating and speaking with new teeth.
Commit to dental care: A solid oral hygiene routine is non-negotiable for lasting success.

Dentures FAQs

With so many ways to bring back your smile, it's natural to have questions. Browse our FAQ section to learn more about dentures in Avenel. If you don't find what you're looking for, our White Oak Dental & Orthodontics team is just a call away.

Can I sleep while wearing my dentures?

Wearing your dentures while you sleep? Not the best idea. Here's why: Keeping them in overnight can limit blood flow to your gums, leading to irritation. Plus, you'll notice more plaque buildup if you sleep with your dentures, making way for bad breath and gum issues.

The good news? Just pop them in a glass of water or denture cleaner overnight. You'll wake up to fresh, bacteria-free dentures, ready for a new day!

Is it difficult to speak while wearing dentures?

New dentures might make you feel like you're learning to talk again. But don't worry — most of our patients get the hang of it quickly. Why? Because your dentures are customized to fit like a glove — or, in this case, like a perfect set of teeth.

Want to speed up the get-to-know-you phase with your new dentures? Try repeating tricky words, reading out loud when you're solo, or just talking with loved ones. And if you need extra help, we have denture adhesives to make things smoother.

How will dentures affect what I can eat?

While dentures effectively restore your smile and bite, certain foods may pose challenges. Sticky foods such as gummy candies can dislodge your dentures. Hard or crunchy foods like raw apples and almonds may require excessive chewing that could compromise your fit.

Additionally, we advise limiting the consumption of high-sugar foods to maintain optimal oral health. Exercise caution and make mindful choices to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your dentures.

Should I have all my teeth pulled to get dentures?

Our team always decides to extract a tooth with caution and care. Our primary goal is to preserve natural teeth through restorative treatments like fillings and crowns. However, in cases of severe damage, infection, or decay, extraction may be the most viable option for your overall dental health and financial well-being.

A thorough oral examination with Dr. Aquino at White Oak Dental & Orthodontics in Avenel will provide the insights needed to make an informed decision. We'll discuss all available options with you before proceeding with any treatment.
