Complete Dentures and Partial Dentures

Restoring Smiles, Renewing Confidence

Missing teeth can affect much more than just your appearance — they can impact your speech, your ability to eat, and your self-esteem.
Complete and partial dentures are time-tested, affordable solutions designed to restore function and give you back a beautiful, confident smile.

What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are full-arch prosthetic devices used to replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw — or both.
They are custom-designed to fit comfortably over your gums and help recreate the natural function and appearance of your teeth.

Complete dentures are ideal when:

  • All teeth are missing in the upper and/or lower arch
  • Remaining teeth are severely compromised and need removal

There are two types of complete dentures:

  • Conventional Dentures: Made after the gums have fully healed following tooth removal (typically several weeks).
  • Immediate Dentures: Made in advance and placed immediately after teeth removal, helping you avoid being without teeth during healing.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
A partial denture is a removable appliance that fills the gaps left by missing teeth while anchoring to the remaining healthy teeth for stability.

Partial dentures help by:

  • Restoring chewing and speaking ability
  • Preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position
  • Enhancing your smile and facial structure

They are typically made of a metal framework and acrylic base or flexible material for comfort and a natural look.

Benefits of Dentures

✅ Improve appearance and facial support
✅ Restore your ability to chew and eat properly
✅ Enhance speech clarity
✅ Boost self-confidence and social comfort
✅ Economical option compared to implants or fixed bridges

What to Expect When Getting Dentures

  1. Initial Consultation:
    • We assess your oral health and discuss your goals and options.
  2. Impressions and Measurements:
    • Precise molds of your mouth are taken to create well-fitting dentures.
  3. Fitting and Adjustments:
    • Trial dentures may be made to check fit and aesthetics.
    • After placement, adjustments ensure optimal comfort and function.

Learning to use dentures takes a little time, but with patience and practice, they will feel more natural and comfortable.

Caring for Your Dentures

  • Remove and rinse dentures after meals
  • Clean dentures daily with a soft denture brush and cleanser
  • Keep dentures moist when not in use
  • Maintain regular dental checkups to monitor oral health and denture fit

Proper care will help your dentures last longer and keep your mouth healthy.

    Great care provided by the entire group! Doctor's are all awesome, answer all questions or concerns & have helped all my family's Dental needs ??Highly recommend !!!

    Bob Muzzin

    Truly amazing! I was hesitant to visit any dentist for several years after my braces were taken off because of a previous bad experience I had. First entering the office I was greeted warmly by very friendly staff. I knew I needed two root canals and several fillings done all of which I was not looking forward to. She had asked if we could just do one filling on my first visit which I had agreed to. The procedure went flawlessly. For those who are scared of needles (which was my worst fear), Dr. Wadhwa is extremely experienced in this field and knows how to make the pain almost nonexistent. It took some convincing but Dr. Wadhwa had relieved all of my concerns of going to the dentist. She is the only dentist I'll be visiting ever again for any routine or intricate procedures.

    I had stopped going to the dentist for the last few years because of a previous bad expierence. I decided to try Dr. Wadhwa and was very pleased. She is very friendly and understood mty hesitancy about going back to the dentist. She answered all my questions and asked to make sure I understood everything. I will have to come back for fillings but she explained the procedure and I feel much better about it. The staff up front is also very welcoming, they actually seemed interested with what I was talking about. I would highly suggest going to Dr. Wadhwa she is great!!
