Types of Dentures We Offer
- Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are designed to fit snugly over your gums, helping restore the appearance of your smile while improving functionality. - Partial Dentures
If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures are the right solution. They fill in the gaps where teeth are missing and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position. - Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients seeking enhanced stability, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option. These dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing a more permanent and secure fit compared to traditional dentures. - Immediate Dentures
If you need to have teeth extracted, immediate dentures are placed right after your remaining teeth are removed. While your gums heal, these dentures allow you to maintain your smile during the recovery period. - Custom Dentures
At Markowitz Dental, we offer custom-designed dentures for patients who want a more personalized, natural look. Using advanced materials and techniques, we create dentures that perfectly match the contours of your mouth and facial features.

Patient Review by Gregory G
I've been seeing Dentists for 60 years and they were mostly "O.K." They certainly never inspired enthusiasm. Markowitz Dental and Dr. Eric Markowitz is the extraordinary exception! I needed extensive cosmetic Dentistry over several visits. The work was just finished, and I am ecstatic! I love my new smile! Dr. Eric did an outstanding job and his professional skill is impressive. Combining that with his sincere empathy, positive outlook, and a 1st class staff gives you the best Dental Practice in the DC Metro Area! I highly recommend Dr. Eric and Markowitz Dental! You'll be impressed and very well taken care of.

Caring for Your Dentures
At Markowitz Dental, we want to help you get the most out of your dentures. Here are some tips for keeping your dentures clean and in excellent condition:
- Brush Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your dentures and remove food particles. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface.
- Rinse After Meals: After eating, rinse your dentures under lukewarm water to remove any debris.
- Soak Overnight: Place your dentures in a denture-cleaning solution overnight to keep them moist and prevent warping.
- Regular Checkups: Dr. Markowitz and Dr. McGorry will monitor the fit of your dentures at routine checkups, making adjustments as needed to ensure comfort and function.
