About Dentures
Full or partial dentures are a tried-and-true option for restoring missing teeth. These prosthodontic pieces can make it more possible to talk and eat with self-assurance and also even renew the look of your teeth after tooth loss. Owner Dr. Joanna Claustro is experienced with full and partial removable and implant-held dentures for patients in Ashburn, VA. Single-arch dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both; however, partial dentures are offered when a few of the real teeth still remain in the jaw. At Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates, our staff can help you determine if detachable or implant-supported dentures are suitable for your goals and have them individually made for a nice appearance and comfortable fit. Arrange your restoration assessment with Dr. Claustro today.

What can I expect after getting dentures?
Adjusting to dentures is a process, and it’s completely normal for them to feel unfamiliar at first. In the early days, you may notice changes in speech, chewing, or overall comfort as your mouth adapts. Minor sore spots can occur, but these are typically addressed with simple adjustments. Over time, most patients become more comfortable and confident with their dentures, especially as they learn what works best for eating and speaking. Because the shape of your gums and jaw can change over time, periodic relines or adjustments may be needed to maintain a proper fit. Long-term success often comes down to consistent care and communication with your provider. Our team will guide you through the adjustment period and help ensure your dentures continue to feel secure and natural.
Am I A Candidate for Dentures?
Adults who are missing several teeth or expect to have teeth removed may be good candidates for dentures. Dentures can improve your ability to chew, support a healthy diet, and help maintain your facial shape. They tend to work best when the gums are healthy and there's enough bone to hold them in place. During your visit with Dr. Claustro, she will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options based on your needs, lifestyle, and budget. After this conversation, our team will help you decide if dentures are the right fit and which type may work best for you.

What Is the Denture Process?
A member of our team will kick off the denture process by getting digital or molded impressions of the top and lower arches. These impressions will then be given to a special dental lab that will craft your unique dentures. Complete and bridge dentures use light resin, which could be reinforced by a titanium internal frame. Crafted with high-grade materials, dentures should mimic the appearance of real teeth and the gumline. Once your restorations are crafted and sent to Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates, we will ask you to check in for a fitting consultation. Dr. Claustro will alter your restorations so they are comfy or latch them to previously placed oral implants. A member of our team will also talk about the best ways to care for your customized dentures.
