Our Custom Denture Options

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all the teeth on the upper arch, lower arch, or both. They rest over the gums and can be removed for cleaning and sleeping. Full dentures may be recommended when most or all of the natural teeth are missing or cannot be restored.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain. They use the remaining teeth for support while filling the spaces created by tooth loss. Partial dentures can restore chewing function and help prevent nearby teeth from shifting into open spaces.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Full Dentures

Implant-supported dentures combine a custom denture with dental implants. The implants are placed into the jawbone and provide stable attachment points for the denture. This can offer greater stability than traditional removable dentures and may reduce slipping while eating or speaking.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures can provide several benefits for patients with missing teeth:

  • Replace multiple missing teeth: Restore an entire arch or several teeth with one customized appliance.
  • Improve chewing: Make it easier to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
  • Support clearer speech: Replacing missing teeth can help with pronouncing certain sounds.
  • Restore your smile: Custom dentures can be designed to provide a natural-looking appearance.
  • Support facial features: Replacing missing teeth can help prevent a sunken facial appearance.
  • Improve stability: Implant-supported dentures can provide a more secure fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures can last for many years. However, they may eventually need adjustments, relining, repairs, or replacement as your mouth changes over time.

Are dentures comfortable?

There will likely be an adjustment period when you first receive dentures. Some initial soreness or changes in speaking and chewing are normal. If discomfort continues, our team can evaluate the fit and make adjustments.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

Removable dentures are generally taken out at night to give your gums a chance to rest and allow you to soak and clean them thoroughly.

How do I clean my dentures?

Clean your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and a denture-cleaning product recommended by your dentist. Avoid hot water, which can affect their shape. Continue brushing your gums and any remaining natural teeth.

Are implant-supported dentures better than regular dentures?

Implant-supported dentures provide additional stability by attaching to dental implants. They may be a good option for patients who want a more secure fit, but an evaluation is needed to determine whether implants are appropriate.

How long does it take to get dentures?

The timeline varies depending on your oral health and the type of denture you need. Several appointments may be required for examinations, impressions, fittings, placement, and adjustments.
