Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile. There are three kinds of dentures: complete dentures, partial dentures and implant-supported dentures.

• A complete denture is used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. We may suggest a complete denture to replace all of the teeth in one or both arches depending on your individual needs. Our dentists may suggest using a denture adhesive for improved stability.
• A partial denture is used if you are missing multiple teeth but have natural teeth remaining. A partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth for a secure fit.
• Implant-supported dentures combine traditional dentures with dental implants to provide a fixed, or nonremovable, solution for your smile. This type of denture involves the strategic placement of a few dental implants in your mouth, to which your dentures are fixed. This gives you a highly stable final result which allows you to eat, speak and smile with total confidence. At our office, we use the innovative All-on-4® system to provide implant-supported dentures. Our dentists will evaluate your mouth and discuss your options with you to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for your needs.

Our dentists may recommend complete or partial dentures to restore your smile if you are missing multiple teeth; dentures can improve your ability to properly speak and eat, restore your natural facial volume, and enhance the overall beauty of your smile. Your dentures will be custom made to fit your smile comfortably, aesthetically and securely. We invite you to call or visit us soon to learn more about how dentures can improve your smile!
