What Is a Denture?
A denture is a dental appliance that replaces missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. Several combinations of materials can be used to craft dentures so we can tailor them to fit each patient's unique needs and preferences. Whether you're getting partial dentures or replacing a full arch, they help restore the ability to chew and speak properly, vastly improving oral function. Our dentures also provide a natural look and feel, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your smile.
Our Process for Providing Permanent Dentures
When you come in for your initial consultation for our denture options, we'll comprehensively examine your smile. Our team then discusses your goals and the requirements for your smile. From there, we'll be able to offer tooth extractions if necessary and create detailed impressions of your gum line used to create your prosthetic. Once your denture has been fabricated, we'll fit your new prosthesis and ensure a comfortable fit.
Our Denture Offerings
Choosing the right type of denture depends on individual needs and the specific condition of your oral health, and our team will always help you make the right decision. Over the years, we have fine-tuned our services to meet diverse smile needs. Some of our offerings include:
- Conventional dentures are removable and take advantage of a highly specific fit that creates suction between the prosthetic and your gum line to stay in place. Conventional dentures offer great customizability with both appearance and options for materials and often consist of a pink acrylic base with porcelain teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures are fixed to implant posts that have permanently fused to your jawbone. This provides excellent function and stability, and you can treat implant-supported dentures like your natural teeth.
- Partial dentures are highly flexible options supported by natural teeth or dental implants, depending on your particular needs. We always want to prioritize saving natural teeth, and partial dentures are a great way to keep your healthy teeth while completing your smile.
- Overdentures are a removeable, implant-supported option that can fully or partially replace an arch of teeth. Overdentures provide stability and can easily be repaired or replaced in the event of damage.
- Immediate dentures are placed right after you get tooth extractions. This denture option is a stand-in measure that allows you to have functional teeth until your mouth has healed and your permanent denture can be placed.

What Are Digital Dentures?
Digital dentures are a modern approach to creating dental prosthetics using digital technology. Rather than traditional physical molds and manual crafting, we design dentures using 3D modeling and computer-aided design (CAD) software. We scan your smile precisely, tailoring the dentures we create to fit seamlessly and comfortably. The digital process enhances accuracy, aesthetics, and efficiency, allowing you to visualize your future smile in detail and participate in the design process so you get the look you want.

Caring for dentures depends on the type. For example, permanent dentures need regular brushing and flossing, while removable dentures should be soaked overnight to keep them moist. Regular cleaning is essential, and our team will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific dentures.
