Restorative
Dentures & Partials
Full and partial dentures designed to replace missing teeth and restore the ability to eat, chew, and speak comfortably.
What are Dentures & Partials?
For patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, it can be difficult to eat, chew and even speak. One way to enhance your smile and replace the teeth you’re missing is by utilizing either a full or partial denture. The denture is designed to replace the teeth you’re missing while lasting for several years.
Why would Dentures & Partials be necessary?
When you are missing a great deal or all of your teeth, it can be difficult to talk, eat and chew. Your face may even take on a sunken-in appearance because of the missing dentition. For patients with severely advanced periodontal disease, it might be suggested to remove your remaining teeth and place a denture.
Who is a candidate for Dentures & Partials?
We’ll perform a full dental examination. Full dentures are ideal for patients who need to have the rest of their teeth extracted, often due to gum disease. Partials are best for patients who still have a lot of their own healthy teeth in place. Partials will clip onto surrounding teeth in order to stay in place.
What happens during the procedure?
The denture procedure starts with impressions. These highly-detailed molds allow us to fabricate a new prosthetic appliance just for you, choosing the color and shape of the teeth so that it looks as natural as possible. You come back in after a few weeks to have the denture fitted, and we make minor adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably. With proper care, your denture or partial can last for up to seven years.
