Dentures

Restoring Your Smile and Function

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Depending on how many teeth are missing, dentures may be complete (full) or partial.

Full (Complete) Dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. They rest on the gums and are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and restore facial support.

When are full dentures recommended?

• When all teeth in an arch are missing

• When remaining teeth are severely damaged and cannot be saved

• When a patient prefers a removable solution to replace all teeth

Benefits of full dentures

• Restore the appearance of a full smile

• Improve chewing and speaking ability

• Provide support for the lips and facial structure

• A cost-effective way to replace all teeth

Full dentures are designed specifically for your mouth to provide a natural look and comfortable fit.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They typically attach to existing teeth with discreet clasps or connectors for support.

When are partial dentures recommended?

• When several teeth are missing but healthy teeth remain

• When a patient wants to avoid removing healthy teeth for a bridge

• When implants are not the preferred option

Benefits of partial dentures

• Fill gaps caused by missing teeth

• Help prevent remaining teeth from shifting

• Improve chewing and speech

• Preserve natural teeth while restoring function

Full vs. Partial
Dentures: What’s the Difference?

• Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch.

• Partial dentures replace only the missing teeth while keeping your remaining natural teeth.

Both options are custom designed to improve comfort, function, and appearance.

Choosing the Right Option

The best solution depends on:

• How many teeth are missing

• The health of your remaining teeth and gums

• Your goals, lifestyle, and budget
