Dentures have a reputation problem – loose, uncomfortable, “not like real teeth.” Most of that reputation comes from a denture that was never really fitted to the person wearing it. The challenge isn’t just replacing missing teeth, it’s building something that actually stays put and feels right, day after day.
Full or Partial
A full denture replaces every tooth in an arch; a partial denture fills in gaps while working around the healthy teeth you still have. Which one you need depends entirely on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the ones that remain – something we determine with a real exam and a 3D scan, not a guess.
When Implants Change the Equation
For patients who struggle with a loose or shifting denture, implant-supported dentures anchor the denture to a small number of implants in the jaw – dramatically improving stability and how natural it feels to eat and speak. It’s a bigger investment, but for the right patient, it solves the problem a standard denture couldn’t.
One patient had relied on a removable partial denture for years after a car accident cost him the teeth and bone on one side of his jaw. Once bone graft surgery rebuilt what was lost, implants finally gave him a permanent solution – and that partial denture went in the trash.
