Restore Your Smile With Partial & Complete Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base or metal framework used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures take the place of a complete row (upper or lower arch) of natural teeth, fitting over the jawbone. Partial dentures replace as few as one lost tooth and clasp onto existing teeth for support. The size, shape, and color of the denture teeth, along with how well it fits, will all affect your ability to smile, speak, and eat. 

A prosthodontist is the most qualified type of dentist to help you through the denture process. They have years of advanced training to certify them as specialists in treating patients with dental and facial problems that involve restoring missing teeth and jaw structures.

FAQs:

Are there alternatives to dentures for tooth replacement?

Whether you’re considering dentures for the first time, or have been wearing them for years, many patients are interested in learning about other tooth replacement options that may be available to them. The two primary denture-alternatives for replacing missing teeth are bridges or dental implants. Both are considered fixed or permanent, as opposed to removable. A bridge replaces one to three missing teeth (in a row) by covering or capping the teeth on either side of the space with a dental crown and supporting a replacement tooth in between, like a bridge over the space. Dental implants can be used to replace anywhere from one tooth to a full set of teeth by anchoring replacement teeth permanently into the jawbone in a variety of customizable configurations, and are often considered the gold standard of tooth replacement.

How long do dentures last?

With conventional dentures, supporting bone is lost over time (as much as 1/32 inch per year). This bone loss causes your dentures to loosen, making chewing difficult and irritating your gums. It’s important to come in for regular checkups with your prosthodontist so your denture can be adjusted, relined, rebased, or remade as needed to maximize its lifespan. Supporting the denture with implants greatly reduces, and in some cases stops the bone loss. Dental implants also greatly enhance the function of a denture. Studies have shown that complete dentures function at approximately 17% the efficiency of natural teeth at best, whereas an implant supported denture can restore to 50-75% of normal function.
