Dentures
Regain your confidence and comfort
with custom-fit dentures designed for a natural smile.
What are dentures?
If multiple teeth are missing due to advanced decay, gum disease, or a traumatic injury, dentures can be a great solution.
Partial dentures can be made with adjustable cast metal frameworks or with flexible gum-colored acrylic, which are more aesthetic. Complete dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth.
Both partial and complete dentures are fully customized and made to fit your gum line perfectly. When properly fitted, your dentures will allow you talk, smile, and chew confidently.
What to expect with partial or complete dentures?
Dentures need to fit precisely in order to be comfortable and functional. To ensure the best fit, a precise digital scan or impression is taken. Try-in appointments using denture bases with teeth set in wax then provide the records needed to finalize your new dentures. When the denture is delivered, adjustments are made for proper fit and comfort.
