Denture Types for Any Situation
Modern dentures come in many different shapes and sizes to fit the unique needs of your oral health situation. Complete dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth. They’re generally made from acrylic or porcelain and rely on natural suction or adhesives to remain in place. Partial dentures are customized to fit around remaining teeth and fill in gaps of missing teeth. They can be made with either a plastic or metal framework and rely on clasps to remain secure. Both dentures and partial dentures are removable, so you’ll need to take them out each night to be cleaned.

A Smile Customized to You
Our team provides custom dentures that are personalized to your oral health needs and your smile goals. We’ll first take a series of impressions of your jaw ridge and oral tissues, which will be used to handcraft your new dentures. This is an incredibly detailed and precise process that involves the skill and artistry of an experienced dental lab technician. He or she will carefully design and build your dentures to look and feel just like natural teeth and gums. Throughout this process, you may need to return to our office to have a wax try-in to verify proper fit. Once this highly customized process is finished, the dentures will be ready for their final fitting in your mouth and you’ll be able to leave our office with a beautifully complete and healthy smile!
