Dentures & Partials in Rockville, MD

If you are missing multiple teeth, you know how much it can affect your daily life. Eating your favorite foods becomes a challenge. Smiling in photos feels uncomfortable. Even speaking clearly can be harder than it used to be.

At Montgomery Dental Associates & Implantology Center in Rockville, MD, we understand these struggles. Dr. Mark Hagigi and our experienced team are here to help you restore your smile with high-quality dentures and partial dentures. We always have your comfort, function, and a natural appearance in mind.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and restore the natural look and function of your smile. They come in two main types:

• Partial Dentures: These are used when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. A partial denture fills the gaps between your existing teeth, preventing them from shifting and helping you maintain a complete, comfortable smile. Modern partial dentures can be made with metal-free, flexible materials that blend naturally with your gums and teeth.
• Complete (Full) Dentures: This option is for patients who are missing all of their natural teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Complete dentures cover the entire dental arch and are custom-made to fit your mouth securely. They help support your facial muscles, giving you a more youthful appearance and making it easier to eat and speak.

Both types of dentures are custom-made by Dr. Hagigi for a fully comfortable fit. We will take impressions of your mouth to create your dentures and send them to a dental lab for fabrication. Once completed, Dr. Hagigi will adjust the fit and appearance until it accurately matches your mouth’s contours for the best possible results.

What to Expect During the Denture Process

Getting dentures is a straightforward process that requires a few visits to our Rockville office. Here is what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Hagigi will examine your mouth and discuss your options. We will take impressions of your mouth to ensure a perfect fit. We may also take digital X-rays to assess your jawbone and identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed before creating your dentures.
2. Denture Creation: Your impressions are sent to a dental lab where your custom dentures are crafted. This process ensures your dentures will fit comfortably and look natural. The lab uses high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums.
3. Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Hagigi will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures fit perfectly and feel comfortable. We will check your bite to ensure you can speak and chew naturally with your new teeth.
4. Follow-Up Care: We will schedule follow-up appointments to check the fit and function of your dentures and make any additional adjustments if needed. Regular check-ups help ensure your dentures remain in good condition and your gums stay healthy.

Traditional Dentures vs. Implant Dentures

While traditional dentures rest on your gums, implant-supported dentures are secured with dental implants in Rockville. These implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone that act as artificial tooth roots. Implant dentures offer several advantages:

• Enhanced Stability: They are anchored directly into your jawbone, eliminating slipping and shifting
• Improved Chewing Power: You can eat a wider variety of foods with greater confidence
• Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing bone loss that happens with traditional dentures
• No Adhesives Needed: You won’t need messy adhesives to keep your dentures in place

Dr. Hagigi is a dental implant specialist and restorative expert, making him uniquely qualified to guide you through both traditional and implant-supported denture options. He can help you decide which approach best fits your needs and goals.
