About dentures

Dentures are an effective, affordable way to replace missing teeth. Made from durable resin and sometimes porcelain, both full and partial dentures can be crafted to look and feel natural.

Partial dentures rest on the surrounding teeth to fill gaps and can be removed by the wearer. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch. If you'd like extra stability, dentures can also be supported by dental implants.

Getting your dentures

Prepare

Any teeth that can't be saved are removed first, and your mouth is allowed to heal.

Impressions

A mold of your gums and the roof of your mouth is sent to a dental lab.

Fitting

You return for a final fitting and any adjustments for comfort.

Settling in

It takes a little time to adjust. We'll help you through it.

Types of dentures

Full dentures

Replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch.

Partial dentures

Fill the gaps where one or more teeth are missing, blending with your natural teeth.

Implant-supported

Snap securely onto dental implants for extra stability. Learn more →

Common questions

How do I care for my dentures?
Clean and brush them daily, brush your gums too, and keep dentures in water when you're not wearing them so they don't warp.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
It takes some time to learn to use your cheek and tongue muscles to keep them in place, but most people feel comfortable after a short adjustment period.
