Types of Dentures We Offer
We provide a full spectrum of denture solutions, each customized to suit your comfort, bite, and budget. Our team will help you determine the right option based on your oral health and lifestyle.
- Complete (Full) Dentures
Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch—or both. These are ideal for patients who have lost all their natural teeth or need full-mouth extraction. The appliance rests on your gums and is held in place through suction or adhesive.
Our full dentures are designed to restore chewing function and facial volume, giving you back your smile and making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods again.
- Removable Partial Dentures
A partial denture may be the right choice if you still have some healthy teeth remaining. These dentures fill in the gaps between existing teeth and are supported by a lightweight metal framework or gum-colored acrylic.
Removable partials help stabilize the alignment of your remaining teeth and improve your ability to chew and speak. They’re easy to clean and simple to adjust if your dental structure changes over time.
- Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients seeking a more stable and long-lasting option, implant-supported dentures offer superior comfort and retention. They attach to surgically placed dental implants that act like artificial tooth roots.
Depending on your preferences and bone structure, you can choose between removable implant-retained dentures or permanent (fixed) implant dentures. This advanced solution provides excellent bite force and a secure fit—there is no need for messy adhesives.
Implant-supported dentures are a game-changer for many patients looking for long-term value and durability in their dental restoration.
What to Expect from the Denture Process
Creating your custom dentures is a multistep process designed to ensure optimal fit, appearance, and function. Here’s what you can expect during your visits to our Spartanburg, SC office:
- Consultation and Evaluation: We begin with a full exam and digital imaging to assess your oral health and discuss your goals.
- Impressions and Measurements: Highly accurate molds and bite measurements are taken to create a denture that fits in a precise, comfortable way.
- Try-In Fittings: Several appointments may be required to fine-tune the shape, shade, and bite alignment of your dentures.
- Final Placement: Once your dentures are ready, we’ll make any final adjustments and instruct you on proper cleaning and care.
Initial soreness, increased saliva, or mild speech changes are common but temporary. As your muscles and tissues adapt, your dentures will begin to feel more natural.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential to extend the life of your dentures and maintain oral health. We’ll provide you with detailed instructions, but general tips include:
- Brushing your dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush.
- Soak them overnight in a denture cleanser solution.
- Clean your gums, tongue, and palate to reduce bacteria buildup.
- Visit us regularly for maintenance and relines.
With good care and routine dental visits, your dentures can last many years and keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
