Assess support and space
We evaluate remaining teeth, tissues, bite and the space available for the denture.
Removable tooth replacement
Dentures
Full and partial dentures can replace multiple missing teeth and restore appearance and function with a removable prosthesis.
How we approach it
Start with the diagnosis, then choose the treatment.
Denture planning considers the remaining teeth, gums, bone, bite, appearance, speech and the type of support available. Expectations and maintenance needs are discussed before treatment begins.
Care may include
- Complete denture assessment
- Partial denture planning
- Replacement of older dentures when appropriate
- Repairs, relines or adjustments when suitable
- Discussion of implant-supported options when relevant
- Long-term oral and denture hygiene guidance
What to expect
A simple, step-by-step process.
Plan fit and appearance
Records are used to plan tooth position, bite, appearance and the shape of the prosthesis.
Adjust after delivery
New dentures often require adaptation and follow-up adjustments as you learn to function with them.
Questions about dentures
Common questions.
These answers are general. Your dentist can give you advice that is specific to your situation after an assessment.
Are partial dentures removable?
Yes. Conventional partial dentures are removable and use the remaining teeth and tissues for support and stability.
Will new dentures feel exactly like natural teeth?
No. Dentures can restore important function and appearance, but they feel and function differently from natural teeth and require an adaptation period.
Can implants help stabilize dentures?
In some cases, implants can improve denture retention or support. Suitability depends on anatomy, health, goals and the treatment plan.
