Full & Partial Dentures

Full and partial dentures replace missing teeth with removable appliances custom-made to fit your mouth. Full dentures are used when all teeth in an arch are missing, while partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain. Patients often turn to dentures after tooth loss from decay, gum disease, or injury, seeking to restore chewing function, speech, and a natural-looking smile.

Planning Your Dentures

Getting a well-fitting denture starts with careful evaluation of the gums, remaining teeth, and jaw structure. Digital X-rays help assess bone levels and plan the design, while intraoral cameras allow you to see the condition of your mouth alongside your dentist during the process.

Types of Dentures We Discuss

Full Dentures — Replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth.
Partial Dentures — Fill gaps left by missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures — Anchored to dental implants for added stability.

Ongoing Denture Care

Dentures may need adjustment over time as the mouth changes. We offer denture repairs and relines to help keep an existing denture comfortable and functional. Bringing in a denture that feels loose, causes irritation, or has a crack or chip allows us to evaluate whether a repair, reline, or replacement is the right next step.
