What Are Full and Partial Dentures?

There are two main categories of dentures:

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They consist of a gum-colored base and a row of artificial teeth, which are usually made out of acrylic or porcelain. Natural suction or a mild adhesive helps a full denture to stay in place.
Partial dentures replace multiple teeth throughout a dental arch. They fit in around the remaining natural teeth. Small metal attachments help partial dentures to remain secure during eating and speaking.

How Dentures Work

The denture treatment process begins with a consultation. Your dentist will assess your oral health and explain your tooth replacement options to you. If traditional dentures are right for you, you may need to undergo extractions or other treatment before you receive your prosthetic. Once your mouth is ready for dentures, we will take impressions of your gums and any remaining natural teeth. A laboratory will then create your custom denture. When your denture is finished, we will coach you on how to use it and care for it.

Benefits of Full and Partial Dentures

Some of the most noteworthy benefits of full and partial dentures include:

Cost-effectiveness. Dentures tend to have a lower upfront price than other types of tooth replacement (such as dental implants).
Caring for dentures is relatively simple and does not take a lot of time.
You may have to adjust your eating habits a bit so you do not destabilize your new teeth while you are eating, but you should be able to enjoy almost any food.
As long as you visit us periodically to get your dentures relined (adjusted), they should continue to fit well and feel comfortable throughout their lifespan.

Cost of Full and Partial Dentures

In general, dentures are a relatively affordable form of tooth replacement. The exact cost of your denture will depend on a few factors, including the materials used to make it and how many teeth you are replacing. In many cases, dental insurance is willing to cover at least a portion of the cost of dentures. Low-interest financing is also available for most patients.
