What Dentures Are
Dentures are a removable option for replacing some or all of your natural teeth in an arch. A full denture replaces an entire arch, while a partial denture fills in gaps where some natural teeth remain.
When You Need Them
Full dentures are appropriate when most or all teeth in an arch are missing or need removal. Partial dentures work well when several teeth are missing but the remaining teeth are healthy enough to anchor them.
Our Conservative Approach
We'll walk through whether dentures, implants, or a combination approach best fits your situation, budget, and goals. Dentures are often a practical, less invasive option, especially for replacing multiple teeth at once.
What to Expect
Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth, typically requiring a few visits for measurements, fitting, and adjustments. Some adjustment period is normal as you adapt to wearing them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will dentures feel natural?
There's an adjustment period, often a few weeks, as you get used to speaking and eating with them. Most patients adapt well over time.
Do dentures need special care?
Yes — they should be cleaned daily and typically removed at night. We'll give you specific care instructions for your denture type.
How often do dentures need to be replaced or adjusted?
Your mouth changes shape gradually over time, so dentures often need relining or replacement every several years to maintain a good fit.
