What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable oral appliances intended to replace lost teeth and the surrounding soft tissue. They include prosthetic teeth set into a flesh-toned acrylic base that conforms to your gum tissue. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth — either the top arch, the bottom arch, or both arches. Partial dentures fill in the gaps when a portion of your natural teeth still exist.

Mechanically, dentures work by transferring chewing pressure across the gum tissue and for some designs the roof of the mouth. Full dentures are held in place by the fit between the base and gum ridge along with additional dental adhesive for enhanced retention. Partial dentures employ carefully designed metal clasps that fasten onto your existing teeth to hold them firmly while speaking.

Implant-supported dentures represent a cutting-edge variation where surgically placed posts are inserted into the jawbone to offer a stronger anchoring point for the appliance. This approach eliminates shifting and allows for more confident chewing than conventional dentures. Our dental professionals will assess your specific circumstances to identify the right choice of dentures for you.
