Types of Dentures

There’s more than one way to wear a denture. In fact, nowadays there are three main types of dentures, and we’re able to offer each of them to our patients. You can learn more about your options below.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the mouth. They can replace several missing teeth, either all in a row or from different areas of the mouth, and will fit seamlessly into your smile. Overall, partial dentures can restore your ability to eat and speak properly, and also prevent any remaining natural teeth from drifting out of alignment.

Full Dentures

Full dentures in Fort Smith can replace an entire arch of teeth. Thanks to modern materials and fabrication methods, a full denture can look incredibly lifelike. They can also be quite comfortable when fitted correctly! To make sure you have the best experience possible with your new restoration, we’ll take an impression of your mouth and make any necessary adjustments before sending you home with your new teeth.

Implant Dentures

While dentures can stay in place thanks to adhesives, suction, brackets, or by using the surrounding natural teeth as anchors, dental implants can provide unmatched stability for your restoration. Dental implants are tiny titanium cylinders that are “implanted” beneath the gumline and fixed to the jawbone. By connecting them to special abutment pieces, we can attach a full or partial denture to your implants. This will keep your restoration firmly rooted without slippage!
