Complete Dentures for Total Tooth Replacement
Restore your complete smile with custom-fitted full dentures designed for comfort and natural appearance.
Conventional Dentures
Complete dentures are removable appliances that replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are typically made from acrylic or sometimes metal-based materials and are designed to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums.
- Custom-fitted for optimal comfort
- Natural-looking tooth and gum appearance
- Restore eating and speaking ability
- Support facial structure
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed right after tooth extraction so you aren't without teeth. While they require adjustments as your gums heal, they provide immediate function and aesthetics.
- No period without teeth
- Immediate restoration of appearance
- Adjustments made during healing
- May require remake for optimal fit
Partial Dentures for Several Missing Teeth
When you have healthy natural teeth remaining, partial dentures provide an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth.
Partial dentures are an excellent solution when you have some healthy natural teeth remaining. These removable appliances fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place by clasps that attach to your existing teeth or by precision attachments for a more aesthetic result.
Benefits of Partial Dentures
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Maintain proper bite alignment
- Restore chewing function
- Improve speech clarity
- Cost-effective tooth replacement
Implant-Supported Dentures
Experience superior stability and function with dentures anchored by dental implants.
For enhanced stability and function, consider implant-supported dentures. Dental implants are placed in your jawbone to serve as anchors for your dentures. This option provides significantly better retention, allows you to eat a wider variety of foods, and helps preserve your jawbone.
Enhanced Stability
Implants anchor dentures securely, eliminating slipping and movement during eating and speaking.
Better Function
Enjoy a wider variety of foods with confidence, including tougher textures that traditional dentures may struggle with.
Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth.
The Denture Process
Understanding what to expect during your denture creation process.
Creating your custom dentures involves several appointments to ensure proper fit and function. We begin with detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth. Multiple fittings allow us to perfect the fit, bite, and appearance before finalizing your dentures.
Timeline & Process
- Initial consultation and examination
- Detailed impressions and measurements
- Multiple fittings for perfect adjustment
- Final delivery and instructions
- Follow-up appointments for adjustments
- Complete process: 4-6 weeks for conventional dentures
Adjusting to Your New Dentures
Learn how to adapt to your new dentures for optimal comfort and function.
Initial Adjustment Period
There's an adjustment period when you first receive dentures. Initially, they may feel bulky or loose, and eating and speaking may take practice. Most people adjust within a few weeks.
- Start with soft foods cut into small pieces
- Practice reading aloud to improve speech
- Gradually introduce more challenging textures
- Follow-up appointments for adjustments
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper denture care ensures they last longer and function better. Daily cleaning and proper storage are essential for maintaining your dentures.
- Remove and rinse after eating
- Clean daily with soft-bristled brush
- Use denture cleaner, never regular toothpaste
- Soak overnight in water or denture solution
- Continue caring for gums and remaining teeth
When to Consider Denture Replacement
Dentures typically last 5-7 years before needing replacement, though regular adjustments and relines can extend their life. Over time, your mouth changes shape, and dentures may become loose or uncomfortable.
Signs You Need New Dentures
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Slipping during speech
- Mouth sores or irritation
- Visible wear or damage
- Changes in facial appearance
- Decreased retention despite adjustments
We'll monitor your dentures during regular checkups and recommend replacement when necessary to ensure continued comfort and function.
