Dentures
Restore your smile and your confidence. Modern, custom-fitted dentures look natural and let you eat and speak comfortably again.
About Dentures
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. A full denture replaces a complete arch of teeth, while a partial denture fills the gaps where some natural teeth remain. Today's dentures are lightweight, natural-looking and crafted for a comfortable, secure fit.
Replacing missing teeth does more than restore your smile — it supports your facial muscles, makes eating and speaking easier, and protects your remaining teeth. For an even more stable result, dentures can be anchored onto dental implants so they never slip or move.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get used to dentures?expand_more
Most people adjust within a few weeks. Eating and speaking get easier with practice, and we'll adjust the fit as needed during your reviews.
Can dentures be repaired or relined?expand_more
Yes. Over time gums change shape, so dentures may need relining or repair. We offer both to keep your dentures fitting well.
What are implant-retained dentures?expand_more
Dentures that clip securely onto a few dental implants. They don't slip or need adhesive and give you much greater stability and chewing power.
Should I remove my dentures at night?expand_more
Yes, removing them overnight rests your gums and allows you to clean them thoroughly. Store them in water or a cleaning solution.
