Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue, consisting of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Implant-supported dentures combine implant stability with denture convenience via titanium posts anchored in the jawbone.
Immediate dentures are crafted before extraction and placed right after, using impressions taken while your natural teeth are still in place — eliminating the waiting period when you would otherwise be without teeth.
Not sure which type of denture is right for you? We'll help you decide at your consultation.
Dentures may be right for you, or your current denture may need attention, if any of these apply:
Complete dentures replace every tooth in the upper or lower arch, restoring your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Partial dentures fill the gaps while your remaining natural teeth stay in place.
Implant-supported dentures combine the benefits of dentures with the security of dental implants.
Immediate dentures are placed the same day as extraction, so you're never without teeth during healing.
Discomfort or pressure sores while talking, smiling, or eating are signs your denture needs an adjustment.
Stains, chips, persistent clicking, or a change in how your bite feels are reasons to schedule an evaluation.
Not sure which option fits your situation? We'll examine your mouth — and your current denture, if you have one — at your consultation.
Getting dentures typically requires several appointments. During your first visit, our team takes impressions of your mouth and jaw. You may try on several sets to determine the ideal fit, color, and size of teeth. Once you approve the design, a dental laboratory creates your final dentures — the entire process may require four to five office visits, with adjustments made along the way to maximize comfort and functionality.

Immediate dentures give you an option to avoid going without teeth for an extended time: instant results skip the typical several-week wait, the denture protects the extraction site and reduces bleeding, and you can eat and speak more easily during healing.
Remove your dentures after eating and rinse them to clear away food particles. Brush daily with a soft-bristle brush and denture cleaner rather than regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive. Look for the ADA seal when choosing denture cleaning products, and never use bleach or abrasive cleaners on denture surfaces. Soak overnight in water or a denture solution to prevent warping. Even with dentures, brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth twice daily, and keep up with regular checkups. Most dentures last five to ten years with proper care.
Following the placement of your dentures, your mouth goes through changes as it heals — the gums and jawbone naturally reshape themselves after extractions, which means dentures may require adjustments. Most patients need several follow-up visits during the first few months to ensure a comfortable fit. Some initial soreness and increased saliva production is completely normal.
We recommend starting with soft foods and gradually reintroducing more challenging textures as you become comfortable. Speaking may feel different at first, but practicing reading aloud can help you adjust quickly.
Even with excellent home care, dentures need professional attention — bone loss or gum recession changes how they fit over time. Regular checkups let our team examine your dentures for wear, cracks, or damage, and check your gum tissue and remaining teeth. Schedule an appointment if your dentures start feeling loose, cause sore spots, or click when you speak or eat. Attempting to fix dentures at home with over-the-counter adhesives or repair kits can cause additional damage and should be avoided.
Dentures offer many advantages for patients experiencing tooth loss.
Dentures restore chewing ability, which supports better nutrition and digestive health. Speaking becomes easier as the teeth provide support for proper pronunciation. Many patients notice an improvement in facial appearance, as dentures help fill out the cheeks and prevent the sunken look associated with missing teeth. Trusted dentures can also boost self-esteem — smiling without feeling self-conscious about gaps or missing teeth may improve social interactions and overall quality of life.
