Discover the Benefits of Dentures and Partials
Dentures are custom-made appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s functionality and appearance. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, dentures can help you regain the ability to chew, speak clearly and smile confidently. Depending on your needs, you may be a candidate for complete dentures or partial dentures.
What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch. These removable appliances rest securely on the gums and are designed to provide a natural-looking smile while improving oral function. For enhanced stability, we may recommend the use of a denture adhesive or suggest implant-supported dentures for a more permanent solution. Complete dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches.
Understanding Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are an excellent option if you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. They are designed with a lightweight framework or clasps that attach to your existing teeth for a snug and secure fit. Partial dentures not only fill the gaps in your smile but also help prevent your natural teeth from shifting out of position. Each partial denture is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your smile for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
The Benefits of Choosing Dentures
Dentures and partials offer numerous benefits beyond replacing missing teeth. They enhance your ability to eat and speak, restore the natural contours of your face and boost your self-esteem. Our dentists will work closely with you to ensure your dentures are crafted for a comfortable, precise fit and a natural appearance.

FAQ
What are the different types of dentures available?
Dentures come in two main types: complete and partial. Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are designed to fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Our dentists will recommend the best option based on the extent of tooth loss and your specific oral health needs.
How do I care for my dentures?
Proper denture care involves cleaning them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser to remove food particles and plaque. Soaking them overnight in a denture solution keeps them moist and maintains their shape. Regular dental visits ensure a proper fit and help identify any adjustments or repairs you may need.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Adjusting to dentures varies for each person. Initially, you may experience mild discomfort or challenges with speaking and eating. Most individuals adapt within a few weeks as the mouth muscles adjust. Consistent wear, patience, and guidance from our dentists can help you achieve comfort and confidence with your new dentures.
Can dentures be repaired if they are damaged?
Yes, dentures can often be repaired if they crack, chip, or lose stability. The process may involve relining, rebasing, or fixing specific parts. Promptly addressing damage helps maintain functionality and prevents further issues. Our dentists will assess the extent of the damage and recommend whether repair or replacement is the best course of action.
