What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's full function. These appliances are crafted from materials like acrylic, porcelain, or a combination of both, ensuring they look and feel as natural as possible. Dentures can be customized to fit your mouth perfectly, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with ease.
There are two main types of dentures:
- Full Dentures: If all of your teeth are missing, full dentures replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth, providing a full restoration of your smile and chewing ability.
- Partial Dentures: When only some teeth are missing, partial dentures fill the gaps while keeping your remaining natural teeth in place and stable.
Whether you're looking to replace a few teeth or need a full arch replacement, we offer a wide range of options tailored to your needs.
Signs You Might Need Dentures
- Difficulty Eating Certain Foods: Missing teeth make it harder to chew, especially tougher foods, which could lead to digestive issues or nutritional deficiencies.
- Loose or Missing Teeth: Teeth can shift over time, or even cause pain, if there are gaps in your smile.
- Pain or Gum Sensitivity: Gaps in your teeth or the loss of multiple teeth can make your gums more sensitive or prone to irritation.
- Embarrassment About Your Smile: When teeth are missing, it can cause embarrassment or insecurity, affecting your social and professional interactions.
- Slurred or Difficult Speech: Missing teeth can alter how you speak, making it harder to pronounce words or even leading to self-consciousness when talking.

The Denture Process
- Consultation & Examination: During your initial appointment, we assess your oral health and discuss your concerns and goals. We may take X-rays and impressions of your mouth to help guide the process.
- Custom Design & Fabrication: Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, our team will design your custom dentures, ensuring they fit your mouth perfectly. We work with you to choose the ideal shape, color, and material for your dentures.
- Fitting & Adjustment: When your dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. This is when we ensure the dentures are comfortable and make any adjustments to guarantee a perfect fit.
- Ongoing Care & Adjustments: After your dentures are placed, we'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the fit and make any necessary adjustments as you get used to your new teeth. We also provide guidance on caring for your dentures to keep them in optimal condition.
