Dentures for Seniors in Nursing Homes

Dentures for Seniors in Nursing Homes

Tooth loss is a common reality for many older adults, especially those living in long-term care or assisted living settings. Without proper dental support, missing teeth can affect a person’s ability to eat, speak clearly, and feel confident.

At Maddali Dental, we specialize in providing dentures for seniors in nursing homes, offering compassionate, customized care in Union and Parsippany NJ. Whether you are a caregiver, family member, or nursing home administrator, we are here to help your residents regain their comfort, health, and dignity.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit comfortably over the gums and restore natural function and appearance. Dentures come in two main types:

• Full Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing

• Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain

Both types are designed to be stable, easy to wear, and matched to the patient's facial structure and bite.

How Do Dentures Help?

Dentures offer several physical and emotional benefits, especially for elderly individuals in nursing homes:

• Restore chewing ability, allowing residents to eat a wider variety of healthy foods

• Improve speech, reducing slurring or mumbling caused by missing teeth

• Enhance appearance, restoring a full smile and preventing facial sagging

• Support emotional well-being, improving self-esteem and social interaction

For seniors who have gone years without teeth or who struggle with poorly fitting appliances, professionally fitted dentures can make an immediate, life-changing difference.

How Often Are Dentures Worn?

Most dentures are worn during the day and removed at night. This gives the gums and oral tissues time to rest, and allows for proper cleaning and hygiene. However, some seniors, depending on their comfort and oral health may be advised to wear them longer or remove them more frequently.

We educate nursing home staff and caregivers on proper denture care routines, including:

• Cleaning dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser

• Storing dentures in water or a cleaning solution overnight

• Monitoring for discomfort, looseness, or gum irritation

• Scheduling regular evaluations to ensure continued fit and function
