Whether you’re replacing a few teeth or an entire arch, our dentures can help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Our Denture Options
Dentures are a popular and convenient solution for replacing missing teeth. Removable and easy to wear, they can be taken out and put back in as needed, offering both flexibility and comfort. Our doctors may recommend dentures if you have lost multiple teeth and other restorative options are not suitable.
Full-Arch Dentures
Full dentures are designed to replace all the teeth in either your upper or lower jaw. There are two main types of full dentures:
- Conventional Full Dentures: These dentures are placed after your gums and tissues have fully healed following tooth removal, which can take several weeks to a few months. During this healing period, you will be without teeth. Once healing is complete, the dentures are fitted to restore both your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
- Immediate Full Dentures: Immediate dentures are placed on the same day your remaining teeth are removed. Our doctors take precise measurements beforehand to ensure a proper fit. Since your gums and jawbone will change during healing, follow-up visits are required to adjust the dentures as needed. Over time, minor adjustments may be necessary to maintain comfort and function.
Removable Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are an excellent solution for patients who are missing some teeth but still have healthy teeth remaining. Unlike full dentures, partial dentures are designed to fit around your existing teeth and are removable for convenience. They help fill gaps, restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and improve the appearance of your smile.
How to Adapt to Your Dentures
It’s normal to feel some discomfort when you first receive your dentures. The flesh-colored base rests on your gums, and initially, they may feel bulky or slightly loose. Speaking and eating may take some practice, but most patients find that their dentures become more comfortable with time. As you adjust, your dentures will start to feel like a natural part of your mouth, allowing you to smile, eat, and speak confidently.
