If you have lost multiple teeth, our dentist may recommend replacing them with dentures. Your dentures are designed using high-quality, biocompatible materials to give you the most natural-looking final result possible and to help you enjoy improved oral function and quality of life.

What are dentures?

Dentures are a type of prosthetic tooth replacement, typically recommended for patients who have lost multiple teeth. Historically, people have been wary of dentures as their appliances have been uncomfortable, poorly fitted, slipped or shifted often, or looked less than natural. Fortunately, thanks to advances in technology, treatment materials and an emphasis on a holistic approach to care, dentures can be designed to fit your mouth perfectly and give you back a beautiful and functional smile.

What kind of dentures are available?

There are several types of dentures available. During your initial consultation, Dr. Julia Gorelik will discuss your oral health needs and desires with you to determine which type of denture is right for you. Regardless of which type of denture you receive, you can rest assured that your appliance will look natural and fit comfortably. We are also happy to replace or reline your dentures to improve their comfort, appearance and fit.

Types of dentures include:

  • Partial Dentures — Partials are used when only some of your teeth need to be replaced. A partial denture will consist of prosthetic teeth which attach to your natural teeth using a thin framework of clasps.
  • Complete Dentures — Complete, or full, dentures are used to replace all the teeth in a dental arch. They may replace one or both of your dental arches depending on your individual needs.
  • Implant–Supported Dentures — Also known as implant-retained dentures, this type of denture is anchored in place using dental implants. Unlike partial or full dentures, an implant-supported denture is often nonremovable.
