Complete and Partial Denture Options

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both). These removable appliances rest directly on your gums and are held in place through natural suction and proper fit. Modern complete dentures are designed to look incredibly natural, with teeth that match your facial structure and gum tissue that blends seamlessly.

Partial Dentures

If you still have some healthy natural teeth, partial dentures can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. These appliances attach to your existing teeth with clasps or precision attachments, providing stability while preserving your remaining natural teeth.

What to Expect During Your Denture Treatment

Getting dentures is a step-by-step process that ensures the best possible fit and comfort:

• Initial Consultation: We’ll examine your mouth, discuss your needs, and explain your options. If extractions are needed, we’ll coordinate that care.
• Impressions and Measurements: We take detailed impressions of your mouth to create dentures that fit your unique oral anatomy.
• Trial Fitting: Before finalizing your dentures, we’ll have you try them on to check fit, bite, and appearance. Adjustments are made as needed.
• Final Delivery: Once your custom dentures are ready, we’ll ensure proper fit and provide detailed care instructions.
• Follow-up Care: We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your adjustment and make any necessary refinements.

Advanced Technology for Better-Fitting Dentures

At Apple Family Dental, we use modern techniques to create dentures that fit better and last longer. Digital impressions help us achieve more precise measurements, while advanced materials provide improved durability and a more natural appearance.

Our experienced team understands the nuances of denture fitting. Proper fit is crucial not just for comfort, but also for your oral health. Ill-fitting dentures can cause sore spots, difficulty eating, and even bone loss over time.

Comfort and Care Throughout Your Treatment

We know that getting dentures can feel overwhelming. Our caring team takes time to answer all your questions and address any concerns. We provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new dentures and what to expect during the adjustment period.

Most patients need a few weeks to fully adjust to their dentures. During this time, you might experience some initial discomfort or difficulty with certain foods. This is completely normal, and we’re here to support you through the transition.
