What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support the shape of your smile. Depending on your needs, dentures may replace a few teeth or a full upper or lower arch.
Dentures can help:
- Improve chewing ability
- Support clearer speech
- Restore the appearance of your smile
- Fill spaces left by missing teeth
- Support facial shape
- Improve confidence in social situations
- Provide a practical tooth replacement option
Dr. Stein and our team will evaluate your mouth, gums, bite, and remaining teeth before recommending the best denture option for your situation.
Types of Dentures We May Discuss
Every patient’s needs are different. Some patients need a partial denture to replace several missing teeth while keeping healthy natural teeth in place. Others may need a full denture if most or all teeth are missing or need to be removed.
Depending on your case, we may discuss:
- Full dentures
- Partial dentures
- Replacement dentures
- Denture adjustments
- Implant-supported denture options
- Dentures as part of a larger treatment plan
If you already wear dentures and they feel loose, uncomfortable, or outdated, we can evaluate the fit and help you understand what can be improved.
Help for Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures
Dentures should feel stable enough to help you eat, speak, and smile with more confidence. If your dentures slip, rub, click, or cause sore spots, they may need an adjustment, replacement, or a different treatment approach.
Loose dentures can happen over time as the gums and jawbone change. Our team can look at how your dentures fit and explain whether a repair, reline, new denture, or implant-supported option may be helpful.
We will give you honest guidance without pressuring you into treatment that does not make sense for your needs.
