What Are Full and Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile, chewing ability, and confidence. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support.
Modern dentures are custom-designed to provide a comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance, helping you eat, speak, and smile with greater confidence.

What Does Denture Treatment Involve?
Comprehensive Examination
Treatment begins with a comprehensive dental examination to evaluate your oral health and determine the best tooth replacement option for your needs. Our dental team will take digital scans or impressions of your mouth to create custom-fitted dentures designed to match your facial features and natural appearance.
Custom Denture Fabrication
For full dentures, the appliance replaces all missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. For partial dentures, the restoration replaces missing teeth while fitting around your remaining natural teeth.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, we will check their fit, comfort, and function and make any necessary adjustments. Your dentist will also provide instructions on how to wear, clean, and care for your dentures.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care can help keep your dentures comfortable, clean, and looking their best:
- Clean your dentures daily using a denture brush and recommended denture cleanser.
- Remove your dentures as directed to give your gums time to rest.
- Rinse your dentures after meals to remove food particles.
- Handle your dentures carefully and avoid using hot water, which can cause them to warp.
- Store your dentures properly when they are not being worn.
- Continue maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth.
- Visit Yorktowne Dental Group regularly so we can evaluate your oral health and denture fit.
