Dentures

A Natural Looking Replacement of Multiple Missing Teeth

Dentures become necessary when you are missing several teeth in a row or all of your teeth. There are several types of dentures including full or partial dentures.

• Full dentures contain a complete set of artificial teeth set in gum tissue colored acrylic.
• Partial dentures contain only specific teeth you may be missing set in acrylic on a metal frame.

Together you and the doctor will decide which type of dentures best meet your dental needs.

Once you and the doctor agree on the appropriate type of dentures for you, there will be several appointments during the fabrication process along with a few adjustment appointments after you receive them.

Dentures should serve you well for many years as long as proper and consistent denture and oral care is maintained. It is important to keep in mind that patients with dentures should be checked annually by the dentist for maintenance of optimum denture fit and function, for evaluation for oral lesions and bone loss, and for assessment of oral health status.
