Restorative Dentistry
Dentures & Partials
Procedure Description
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain. the dentist takes precise impressions of your mouth, determines optimal bite alignment, and works with a dental laboratory to create custom dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. Multiple appointments ensure proper fit and function before you receive your final restoration.
Indications
Dentures and partial dentures are ideal solutions for patients who:
When to Consider Dentures & Partials
Missing All Teeth
Complete dentures restore full arch when all teeth are missing or must be extracted.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth.
Cannot Have Implants
Medical conditions, inadequate bone, or budget constraints make implants not feasible.
Immediate Tooth Replacement
Immediate dentures can be placed right after tooth extraction to avoid going without teeth.
Affordable Solution Needed
Dentures offer effective tooth replacement at a lower cost than implants or bridges.
Note: Implant-supported dentures offer improved stability and bone preservation. Ask the dentist about this hybrid option that combines denture affordability with implant benefits.
