Full Dentures (Complete Dentures)

• Designed for patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
• Custom-made to fit securely and restore full function and aesthetics.
• Can be removable or implant-supported for added stability.

Partial Dentures

• Ideal for patients missing some teeth but still have natural teeth remaining.
• Designed with a metal or acrylic framework that attaches to surrounding teeth.
• Helps prevent shifting of remaining teeth and restores chewing ability.

Implant-Supported Dentures

• Attach securely to dental implants for a more stable and comfortable fit.
• Prevent slipping or movement while eating and speaking.
• Help preserve jawbone health and provide a stronger bite.

If you're unsure which type of denture is best for you, we’ll guide you through your options and help you choose the best solution for comfort, durability, and aesthetics.

Benefits of Dentures & Partial Dentures

Dentures offer a functional and aesthetic replacement for missing teeth, with benefits including:

• Restored ability to chew and speak with confidence.
• Improved facial structure and support to prevent a sunken appearance.
• Custom-fit comfort for long-term wearability.
• Affordable and effective tooth replacement solution.
• Increased confidence with a natural-looking smile.

If you’re interested in a more secure, long-term solution, we may recommend dental implants to anchor your dentures in place.

The Denture Process

Getting dentures requires a few visits to ensure the best fit and comfort.

1. Consultation & Treatment Planning

• We assess your oral health and bone structure to determine the best denture option.
• Impressions and measurements are taken to custom-fit your dentures.

2. Creating & Fitting Your Dentures

• Temporary dentures may be provided while your custom dentures are fabricated.
• Once ready, we ensure the best fit and make necessary adjustments.

3. Final Adjustments & Follow-Up

• We check for proper bite alignment and comfort.
• Instructions are provided on care, maintenance, and long-term use.

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

It takes a few weeks to fully adjust to new dentures. Here are some tips to help:

• Start with soft foods and gradually introduce harder foods.
• Practice speaking to get used to the feel of dentures.
• Use a denture adhesive if needed for extra stability.
• Keep dentures clean and soak them overnight to maintain their shape.

We offer adjustments and follow-ups to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and securely over time.

How Long Do Dentures Last?

With proper care, dentures can last 5-10 years. To extend their lifespan:

• Clean daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaner.
• Soak overnight to keep them from drying out.
• Visit us regularly to check for fit adjustments and overall oral health.

If your dentures become loose, worn, or uncomfortable, we can make adjustments or replacements as needed.

Dentures vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options

If you’re considering dentures but exploring alternatives, here’s how they compare:

• Dental implants offer permanent tooth replacement, while dentures are removable.
• Partial dentures are a non-invasive alternative to dental bridges, which require modifying adjacent teeth.
• Implant-supported dentures provide more stability than traditional dentures, but require a surgical procedure.

We’ll help you decide which option works best for your lifestyle and budget.
