Tooth loss rarely happens all at once. For many patients, it follows years of dental problems, failing dental work, or ongoing frustration with teeth that no longer function the way they should. Dentures provide an opportunity to start fresh.

By replacing multiple missing teeth or an entire arch, dentures can restore everyday function while improving the appearance of your smile. Many patients find that they can eat more comfortably, speak more clearly, and feel more confident in social situations after treatment.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues.

There are several types of dentures available:

  • Complete Dentures – Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch
  • Partial Dentures – Replace several missing teeth while using remaining natural teeth for support.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – Attach to dental implants for extra stability and retention.
  • Immediate Dentures – Placed shortly after extractions so patients are not left without teeth during healing.

The best option depends on your oral health, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

How Are Dentures Made and Placed?

First, we take measurements, digital scans, and impressions to create dentures that fit you and complement your facial features. Once fabricated, we adjust them to improve appearance and function.

It's normal for an adjustment period to follow as your mouth adapts to the new appliance. Follow-up visits allow us to make refinements and ensure your dentures fit as comfortably as possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures may be a good option for patients who:

  • Are missing multiple teeth
  • Have experienced extensive tooth loss
