Partials and Dentures

A partial denture is a removable, yet natural-looking dental appliance that helps restore the form and function of your jaw by replacing one or several missing teeth. Partial dentures are made from a combination of metal and acrylic – which gives them the strength to handle your needs for chewing and speaking, while also looking natural. Some partial dentures are entirely made from acrylic – these dentures tend to be less durable and structurally sound, but may be a solution for you depending on your situation.


The Denture Procedure

A complete denture is a full-mouth appliance that replaces your natural teeth and supports your cheeks and lips, restoring form and function to your smile.


Often, the process of getting beautiful, custom dentures begins with one or more tooth extractions. Next, your dentist will begin the process of creating your new dentures. A conventional denture is fitted after a full-mouth extraction (removal of all teeth) once your gums have healed. In most cases, immediate dentures are created and placed immediately after your extractions, allowing the gums to heal underneath the appliance.


Your dentures can even be anchored to implants (implant-retained dentures) to ensure the dentures fit more securely.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures can replace missing teeth, benefiting both your smile’s appearance and your overall health. You’ll be able to eat and speak better with a set of new dentures than you could with missing teeth. Missing teeth also cause the muscles in your face to sag, making you appear older.


Dentures will support your facial structure, helping you to look younger while retaining the muscle tone in your face, jaw and neck.
