Dentures are removable artificial teeth. There are two different types of dentures: partial and complete (full).

Complete dentures require the removal of all existing teeth. The teeth need an extraction, and the gums must heal before making the dentures.

Partial dentures can replace one or more missing teeth. They can receive support from crowns, implants, or a metal structure that connects to the existing teeth.

Various materials go into making dentures, including metal, resin, porcelain, acrylic, and nylon. The composition of your dentures will depend on their use and your dentist's preferences.

You may feel ashamed of your appearance if you have multiple missing teeth. Dentures can restore your smile and make you feel more self-confident.

Dentures allow you to eat and speak clearly again. They may relieve the pain you have gone through for years with damaged teeth.

Partial dentures keep your teeth from shifting positions. They can prevent bite problems as well as tooth decay from occluded teeth. They make it easier to eat and can improve your smile.

If you are missing too many teeth for bridges and cannot afford or do not want implants, dentures may be fitting for you. You will need enough healthy teeth, crowns, or implants to support the structure for partial dentures.

All teeth will need to be extracted first for full dentures. Occasionally, complete dentures will receive support from implants.

We offer high-quality dental services in a friendly environment. Our skilled dentists can provide a beautiful new smile with dentures or other tooth replacement options.
