What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable tooth replacements built to replace missing teeth and the supporting soft tissue. They are made up of replacement teeth embedded in a natural-looking acrylic base that conforms to your gum line. Full dentures replace an complete set of teeth — either the upper jaw, the bottom arch, or the full mouth. Sectional dentures replace specific missing teeth when several healthy teeth still exist.

Mechanically, dentures operate through distributing chewing pressure across the gum tissue and sometimes the roof of the mouth. Full dentures rely on the fit between the base and gum ridge along with additional dental adhesive for added security. Partial dentures incorporate specially crafted metal clasps that grip your adjacent healthy teeth to hold them firmly while going about your day.

Implant-anchored dentures represent a cutting-edge variation where surgically placed posts are inserted into the jawbone to create a firmer foundation for the appliance. This approach eliminates movement and supports more confident chewing than standard dentures. Our dental professionals will evaluate your specific circumstances to identify the best type of dentures for you.
