Restorative
Full and Partial Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable appliance shaped to your mouth. Fit and appearance are refined in person, not signed off from a lab bench.
What it is
A full denture replaces all the teeth in one arch. A partial fills the spaces where teeth are missing and clasps onto the ones that remain, which also stops those teeth from drifting.
Getting a denture right is a process of small adjustments. The first fitting is a starting point, and the appointments that follow are where comfort actually gets sorted out.
If a denture keeps moving, implants can be added later to hold it in place. We will mention that option if it fits your situation.
Who it is for
- You are missing several or all of your teeth.
- Your current denture is old, worn, or uncomfortable.
- You want to replace teeth without surgery.
- You are waiting for implant treatment and need an interim option.
- Missing teeth are affecting how you eat or speak.
What to expect
Assessment
We look at your remaining teeth, gums, and bite and discuss what you want the finished result to look like.
Records and try in
Records are taken and a try in lets you see the shape and shade before the denture is finished.
Fitting
The finished denture is fitted and adjusted. Speaking and eating with it takes practice, and that is normal.
Adjustments
Follow up visits fine tune sore spots. Come back as often as you need to during this stage.
Questions we hear most
Shade and tooth shape are chosen with you at the try in stage, so you have a say before it is finished.
Eating with a new denture takes practice, and most people start with softer foods. We give you guidance for the first weeks.
Yes, that is a common combination. We can discuss adding implants now or leaving the option open for later.
It comes out for cleaning, and we go through the routine with you when it is fitted.
Talk it through with a dentist before you commit to anything.
Bring your questions to a consultation. We will explain what we see and what the options are, and nothing gets booked until you decide it should.
