Request an AppointmentDentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. Full dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures fill in gaps caused by one or more missing teeth, improving both chewing function and appearance. Treatment is customized to each patient, and our doctors will help determine the best option for you.
Full Dentures (Conventional and Implant-Supported)
When tooth decay or gum disease becomes unmanageable, removing the remaining teeth and placing full dentures may be the most practical solution, restoring both function and aesthetics efficiently.
A complete denture consists of a thin, gum-colored acrylic base that rests on the gums, with porcelain or acrylic teeth built into the base for a natural appearance. Our doctors work with you to select the most natural-looking teeth, giving you the option to recreate your original smile or design a completely new one.
Modern technology also allows for enhanced denture stability through dental implants. Implant-supported dentures offer greater retention, improved aesthetics, and longer-lasting results, and our doctors can explain these options in detail.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth, helping restore chewing function, fill gaps, and maintain confidence in your smile. They also help prevent natural teeth from shifting, reducing the risk of future tooth loss.
Most partial dentures use a thin metal framework with small clasps that anchor to existing teeth, creating a secure and comfortable fit. Natural-looking replacement teeth are attached, and gum-colored acrylic covers the framework for a seamless appearance. Each partial denture is customized for comfort, function, and aesthetics in collaboration with skilled dental technicians.
Advances in dental implants can also support partial dentures, improving fit and reducing bulkiness. While new dentures can present an adjustment period, our team works to minimize everyday challenges and ensure comfort throughout.
