Dentures
We Walk Hand in Hand Towards Beautiful Smiles With Our Expert Family Dentists
What are Dentures?
A denture is a set of prosthetic teeth custom-made to the size, shape, and color of your mouth. It is held in place using suction, clips, or adhesive to your gums, ensuring it stays securely in place. There are two types of dentures: partial and full.
Partial Dentures: We will use partial dentures when some of your natural teeth are still in place.
Full Dentures: We will use complete dentures when all of your natural teeth are missing.

Are Dentures Right for Everyone?
Any person who has lost teeth or is losing teeth can benefit from dentures, especially for individuals who are over sixty years old. However, some may be better candidates than others. Those with healthy gum tissue or jawbone can benefit from traditional dentures, while those with insufficient jawbone might require implant-supported dentures. Moreover, people who have had tongue or joint movement issues in their mouths, those who have had radiotherapy treatments for cancer in the head or neck, or those who are chronic teeth grinders are not complete candidates for dentures.
It is crucial to consult with one of our dentists to see if dentures will work for you.
