What are dentures?

Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types of dentures: full and partial.

Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed and may require frequent adjustments during the first couple of months of use.
Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to bridges.

How do I know if dentures are the right choice for me?

Dentures are not for everyone. If you’re interested in learning more about dentures and want to know if they are the right choice for you, please schedule an appointment. Our team will be happy to answer any questions you might have, and can determine the best course of treatment for your ongoing dental health.

Caring for your dentures

Dentures, just like natural teeth, require daily maintenance to stay clean and keep bacteria from growing inside of your mouth. Keep your dentures clean and your smile healthy:

When handling your dentures, stand over a clean, folded towel or a sink full of water. This way, if you accidentally drop your dentures, they are less likely to break.
Your dentures are not immune from plaque and tartar build-up, so it’s important that you brush your dentures every day. To brush your dentures, use a soft-bristled brush and gently brush the surfaces of the dentures, being careful not to break or bend the plastic. Between brushings, it’s important to rinse your dentures after each meal.
Use a gentle cleanser to clean your dentures. Many toothpastes, household cleaners, and mouthwashes can be too hard on your dentures, so it is recommended that you use a mild hand or dish soap to get your dentures clean. Be sure to check for the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval to choose products that are safe for your dentures, or ask your dentist about which products may be best for you.
When you are not wearing your dentures, they need to be kept moist. Dentures that are not kept in a denture cleaning solution or in water can dry out, lose their shape, or even crack and break. Certain styles of dentures require certain soaking solutions, so be sure to ask your dentist which solution is best for you.
Even if you have a full set of dentures, it’s important to keep your gums and tongue clean. Be sure to use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean your gums and tongue every day.

If by chance your dentures do break, please contact our practice and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Broken dentures that don’t fit properly can cause irritation to your gums and mouth. Also, remember to continue scheduling regular dental checkups every six months to make sure that your smile stays healthy for many years to come.

Testimonials

Discover Why Our Patients Love Us

My children and I had a great experience. The office staff are friendly and they really keep things flowing without making you feel rushed. My hygienist, Corina, was excellent, extremely thorough and communicative. Dr. Barekzi really took time to talk with me about our teeth, asked great questions and gave sound, practical advice.

To the extent possible, I enjoyed my trip to Loudoun Valley Dental. From the reception desk to the Hygienist, to Dr. Bareksi, everyone was professional, caring, and friendly.

Karina is the best person alive. Not only was she extremely gentle, but super kind and compassionate. She throughly explained how I personally can continue to keep my mouth the healthiest it can be. Def recommend asking for KARINA when making your appointment✨ The girlies at the front desk are always lovely as well!

Dr’s Barekzi is extremely gentle and considerate during check ups and procedures. All staff, front desk, assistants and especially dental hygienists are fun and easy to get along with. Great practice !

I have had nothing but great experiences at Loudoun Valley Dental. Cindy at the front desk has always been so extremely responsive to me and squeezed me in on more than one occasion when I really needed to see the doctor and both dentists are great. It is a perfect example of a small town medical office where the patient is never just a number.

My second visit was to get a crown on a tooth with a slight crack. This visit was also great despite it being for something more involved than just a cleaning. Everyone in the office was helpful and friendly which includes the front office, the couple dental techs I've seen so far, and both dentists. I'm impressed by the pains they take to explain everything and by everyone's skill. I'm happy to have a dental office like this so close to home.

The office staff was exceptional when calling for an appointment and in person. The Dentist and hygienist are kind, educated, listened, explained well and gentle. I would highly recommend this practice.

When I found myself looking for a dentist, I was determined to stay local. There are several dentists' offices in Purcellville/Round Hill, so I asked around. My neighbor recommended Loudon Valley Dental. I am so glad I went there! They are friendly and helpful. I'm a bit dental-phobic, and they have accommodated me wonderfully. Thank you!

At Loudoun Valley Dental, we feel that smiling is contagious. Our dentists, Drs. Nassir Barekzi along with their friendly team, love to build confident smiles and create optimal oral health. We pride ourselves on providing individualized patient care and creating a professional atmosphere.
