Dentures are an excellent option for any patient who is missing several or all of their teeth. If you would prefer investing in dental implants, we can also anchor a customized denture to between four and eight dental implants, allowing for more stability and longer lasting results. The best way to learn what your treatment would look like is to schedule a consultation with our experts and learn about all of your tooth replacement options.
Depending on your unique needs, our team may recommend one of three different types of dentures for you. We’ll discuss each of your options with you during your consultation and help you make the best decision for your budget, ideal timeline, and goals.
Partial dentures are designed to fit between existing teeth to restore the gaps throughout your arch. They utilize small clasps to stay securely within your mouth, allowing you to eat and speak much more easily.
Full dentures are designed to fit atop the gumline and use natural suction to stay securely within the mouth. They’re comprised of a gum-colored acrylic base and natural-looking, customized replacement teeth, allowing our team to restore entire rows of teeth.
Implant dentures offer the best in aesthetics and functionality by restoring both the visible and root structures of missing teeth. Instead of using natural suction, your dentures will be secured within the mouth to anywhere from four to eight dental implants that are fused with the jawbone.
