What Are Dentures?

Dentures are prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. Made from durable materials, they are custom-fitted to your gums for optimal comfort and stability.

At Laing Family Dentistry, we offer two types of dentures:

• Full Dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
• Partial Dentures: Replace a few missing teeth while preserving the natural ones you still have.

If you’re exploring a more secure alternative, consider our Implant Dentures or Implant Overdentures for enhanced stability.

Benefits of Dentures

• Restored Appearance: Enjoy a natural-looking smile that boosts your confidence.
• Improved Functionality: Chew and speak with ease.
• Cost-Effective: Affordable solutions for missing teeth.
• Customized Fit: Tailored to your unique needs for optimal comfort.

If you’re frustrated with loose traditional dentures, ask about Fixed Implant Dentures for a permanent, stable option.

Full vs. Partial Dentures

1. Full Dentures

Ideal for Replacing an Entire Arch
Full dentures are designed to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesives.

Best For:

• Patients missing all teeth in an arch.
• Those seeking an affordable solution to restore their smile.

Cost: $5,000 - $10,000 (all-inclusive).

For added stability, explore Implant Overdentures, which combine full dentures with the support of dental implants.

2. Partial Dentures

Perfect for Replacing Several Missing Teeth
Partial dentures are designed to fill gaps in your smile while preserving your remaining natural teeth. They are anchored to the surrounding teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.

Best For:

• Patients missing several teeth but not an entire arch.
• Those who want a removable option that complements their natural teeth.

Cost: $3,000 - $8,000, depending on the materials and design.

FAQs About Dentures

How long do dentures last?

Dentures typically last 5-10 years. Regular adjustments and relining can extend their lifespan.

Are full dentures better than partial dentures?

It depends on your needs. Full dentures are ideal for patients missing all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures are designed for those with some remaining natural teeth.

Can I upgrade to implant-supported dentures later?

Yes! Many patients start with traditional dentures and later transition to Implant Overdentures or Implant Dentures for added stability.
