What are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and sometimes even the surrounding gum tissue. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a whole jaw of teeth.
Replacing lost teeth is not only important for appearance but also for overall oral health. Dentures can prevent jawbone loss, support healthy bite alignment, and make eating and speaking much easier.
With the right care, dentures can provide a natural-looking, functional, and lasting solution to missing teeth.
Types of Dentures
We offer partial and implant-supported dentures to replace one or several missing teeth. Your dentist can help you choose the best option for your smile and oral health.

Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are recommended when you are missing one or more teeth and want a removable option, or when the surrounding teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge. They consist of one or more artificial teeth that are designed to fit securely between your remaining natural teeth. Like full dentures, partial dentures can be removed for easy cleaning and for comfort while sleeping.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, offering greater stability than traditional dentures thanks to their secure fit. They are designed to function like natural teeth and can be removed by your dentist when needed.
The Process of Getting Dentures
Getting dentures typically involves several steps to ensure the best fit and function. First, your dentist will examine your mouth and take detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth.
These impressions are used to create a model of your mouth, allowing your dentist to design dentures that fit precisely. Next, a temporary denture may be made so you can see how the dentures look and feel before your permanent denture is created. Once your final dentures are ready, your dentist will carefully fit them, make any necessary adjustments, and guide you on how to care for them properly.
