Dentures are a great option for those who are missing multiple or all of their teeth. If you are having difficulty completing daily tasks, like eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence, dentures can likely give you the results that you’ve been looking for. Depending on how many teeth you are missing and where they are located in your mouth, a customized treatment plan can be put together just for you. If you have any existing oral health issues, like cavities or gum disease, these will need to be treated ahead of time. Your oral health is our top priority.

Types of Dentures

There are multiple different types of dentures available to meet different needs. During your consultation, we will discuss which of the following options is ideal for you.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are made from multiple replacement teeth and a gum-colored base. This type of denture fits between the existing teeth like a puzzle piece to fill in any gaps. To remain in place, partial dentures are attached to the natural teeth with the help of clips or brackets.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are made to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the top, bottom, or both. They stay in place with the natural shape and suction of your mouth. If you need additional support, denture adhesive is also available to provide stability. Traditional full dentures are removable, so you can take them out to clean them while you sleep.

Implant Denture

Implant dentures are supported by dental implants. The implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They help your replacement teeth stay in place, eliminating your need for adhesives or clasps. Dental implants also help to stimulate the jawbone, preventing the progression of bone resorption caused by tooth loss. The additional stability provided by implants allows patients to regain up to 70% or more of their natural chewing ability. Implant dentures are also made to last for many decades, so you don’t need to worry about frequent repairs or replacements.
