Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth that restore chewing, speech, and smile support when multiple teeth are missing. A full (complete) denture replaces all teeth in an upper or lower arch, while a partial denture fills gaps when healthy teeth remain. Depending on your needs, we may recommend acrylic, cast-metal partials, flexible partials, or implant-supported designs like snap-in overdentures and fixed hybrid dentures (screw-retained teeth that only your dentist removes).
We explain full, partial, snap-in, and fixed denture options in plain terms, so you understand what will feel stable, what’s removable, and what fits your long-term needs.
Every denture is adjusted for bite balance, pressure points, and speech comfort. Follow-up visits are part of the process, not an afterthought.
Digital scans help us plan fit and bite alignment more accurately, reducing guesswork and improving everyday comfort over time.
Whether you’re seen in California or Texas, our denture planning and follow-up standards stay consistent across locations.

| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Full / Complete Dentures | Often used after extractions or when all teeth in an arch are missing. Fit and comfort depend on gum health and bone support, with periodic relines expected over time. |
| Partial Dentures | Replace missing teeth when natural teeth remain. Available with cast metal frameworks, flexible nylon, or acrylic bases. Removable, lightweight, and commonly chosen for affordability. |
| Implant-Supported Overdentures | Snap onto two to six implants using locator or bar attachments. Offer improved stability, help preserve bone, and remain removable for daily cleaning. |
| Permanent Hybrid Dentures | Fixed, implant-supported teeth (All-on-X style) designed for maximum stability. Removed only by the dentist for maintenance and professional cleaning. |
| Materials Used | Acrylic bases and denture teeth are common for removable options. Implant-supported designs may include titanium implants and higher-strength teeth materials based on bite forces and case needs. |
Choosing the right denture option depends on how stable you want your teeth to feel, how much daily care you’re comfortable with, and how your gums and bone support the fit.
If you want a removable solution:
Full or partial dentures may be appropriate, especially when budget or anatomy limits implant placement. Periodic adjustments over time are expected.
If you want more stability:
Implant-supported overdentures (snap-in dentures) attach to implants for a steadier feel while remaining removable for cleaning.
If you want a fixed feel:
Permanent hybrid dentures (All-on-X style) are designed to stay in place and are removed only by the dentist for maintenance.
Dentures help restore chewing function, speech clarity, and facial support after tooth loss. By replacing missing teeth, they reduce bite imbalance, help prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and support jaw comfort over time. Modern materials allow dentures to look natural and feel more comfortable than earlier designs.
When Recommended
Dentures may be appropriate if you have multiple missing or failing teeth, advanced gum disease, or require extractions. They can restore function and appearance immediately and may also serve as a transitional solution while planning implant-supported or permanent options.
Choosing the Right Fit
Dentures aren’t one-size-fits-all. During your exam, we evaluate gum health, bone levels, bite forces, and comfort factors. For some patients, removable dentures work well. For others, adding implants provides improved stability and a more secure feel.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
Removable dentures may feel bulky at first, and lower dentures can move as muscles adapt. Fit changes over time as gums and bone remodel, making relines and adjustments a normal part of care. Implant-supported options often reduce movement and improve long-term stability.
Longevity & Daily Comfort
Removable dentures typically last five to ten years, while implant-supported designs may last longer by preserving bone and limiting movement. With proper care and periodic adjustments, dentures can remain comfortable and functional for everyday use.
Start with softer foods cut into small pieces, chew slowly on both sides, and avoid sticky or very hard foods early on. As your bite settles, you can return to more normal textures.
Reading aloud for a few minutes a day helps your tongue relearn where to land. If whistling or clicking persists, we adjust the bite and the edges. Don’t try to “power through” pain.
Sore spots usually mean a small pressure point, not that dentures “aren’t for you.” Call for an adjustment. If you gag, we check the back edge and balance so the denture stays stable without triggering your reflex.
