Dentures

Restore your smile with complete and partial dentures

Dentures are one of the most common tooth replacement options and are available in two configurations to help restore your smile.

  • Complete dentures replace an entire row (or arch) of teeth, either upper or lower (or both, if needed). If the remaining teeth in an arch are damaged or infected, they may need to be removed before complete dentures can be fitted.
  • Partial dentures replace several missing teeth within an arch while preserving the remaining healthy natural teeth.

Both complete and partial dentures feature replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base that is custom-made to fit your mouth. Partial dentures typically use clasps or wires to attach securely to the remaining teeth. Both types of dentures are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain.

Dentures should be removed each night before bed and stored in water to prevent them from drying out. Use a soft-bristled brush to clean your dentures daily and consider using denture-cleaning tablets to help remove bacteria and stains. Removing your dentures overnight also gives your gums and oral tissues time to rest and recover.
