What Are Dentures?

Dentures are a way to replace lost teeth. Whether you’ve lost a few or all, they can help you eat, talk, and smile again.

Dentures are removable, which makes them easy to clean. We build them to fit your mouth, your lifestyle, and your smile goals.

Complete and Partial Dentures

There are two main types. Complete and partial dentures are both made for missing teeth. The difference is how many teeth you’re replacing.

Complete dentures

Complete dentures are used when all teeth are gone.

Partial dentures

Partial dentures are designed for those with one or more natural teeth still in place.
Both are custom-made to fit your mouth.

Full Dentures for a Fresh Start

Full dentures are typically used when no natural teeth remain. They rest directly on your gums. They’re shaped to look like your original teeth and help bring back your bite and facial shape.

We also offer immediate dentures for those who don’t want to go without teeth during the healing process.

The benefits of full dentures are more than just how they look. They help you chew better. Talk better. Smile more. They also help support the muscles in your face and stop that sunken look over time.

Partial Dentures for Gaps

Still have some healthy teeth? Great. Partial dentures replace only the ones you’ve lost. These fit around your remaining teeth and blend right in. They help fill in spaces left by several missing teeth, without affecting the teeth that are still in place.

Partial Dentures Offer Stability

Partial dentures offer a solid option if you want to keep your real teeth. They’re great at stopping other teeth from shifting around. They help balance your bite and let you chew more evenly.

Partial Dentures Are Often Best for Some Smiles

When only a few teeth are missing, partial dentures are often the right solution. They can be metal or flexible and snap onto your teeth without being too bulky.

Traditional vs. Implant Options

Implant-supported dentures use dental implants secured in the jaw, offering a stable, natural feel without shifting. Say goodbye to adhesives and discomfort.

Like Full Dentures, But More Support

Like full dentures, implant options replace a full set of teeth. But they are anchored in place, so they stay put when you chew or talk.

Unlike Full Dentures, They’re Fixed

Unlike full dentures, implant options don’t rest on the gums. They are held by implants, which gives them more strength and less movement.

Deciding Between Full or Partial

Trying to decide between the two? Choosing between full or partial depends on how many teeth you’ve lost and the condition of your gums. We help you sort through your choices based on what you need and want.

Not sure where to start? Deciding between full or partial dentures doesn’t have to be confusing. We walk you through your options and help you feel comfortable with your choice.

Dentures Use Smart Design

Modern dentures use lightweight materials and smart designs. They look natural. They feel good. They do their job without getting in the way.

Getting Dentures Made Easy

Getting dentures is a process we make simple:

We meet and check your oral health

We take impressions of your mouth

You get a test fit

We adjust them

You leave smiling

Each step is done with care.

New Dentures May Feel Odd

Dentures Are Custom-Made

All dentures are custom-made. No one gets a “standard” set. We shape, color, and size everything based on your mouth and jaw.

Dentures Are Usually Quick to Get

Dentures are usually ready within a few appointments. Sometimes sooner, depending on your case. You won’t be waiting long.

Dentures Tend to Wear Slowly

With time, dentures tend to wear down or get loose. That’s because your gums and bones change shape. But don’t worry. We can fix or adjust them easily.

Dentures Can Last

With good care, dentures can last between 5 to 10 years. Regular checkups help them last longer and feel better.

Brushing Your Dentures Daily

Cleaning is easy. Brushing your dentures daily removes food and stains. Use a soft brush made just for dentures.

Dentures in a Denture Cleanser

Soak dentures in a denture cleanser each night. This keeps them fresh and bacteria-free.

Denture Cleanser Soaking Solution

Always use a proper denture cleanser soaking solution. Avoid regular toothpaste or bleach. Those can damage the surface.

Dentures at Night

Take out dentures at night. Let your mouth rest. This also helps your gums stay healthy and prevents soreness.

Need to Be Relined or Replaced?

Over time, they may need to be relined or adjusted for comfort. If they’re damaged or worn down, they might need to be replaced.

Teeth Are Removed

If teeth are removed, we can fit immediate dentures on the same day. You’ll leave with a smile, not a gap.

Natural Teeth Remain

When natural teeth remain, we build partials that work with them. No need to pull what’s still healthy.

Natural Teeth for Support

Partial dentures rely on natural teeth for support. That’s why they’re so stable and easy to wear.

Rely on Natural Teeth

Most partials rely on natural teeth to stay in place. It’s a smart way to restore your smile without overdoing it.

Supported by Your Natural Teeth

Partial dentures are designed to be supported by your natural teeth. That helps them feel snug and secure.

Replacement Teeth Attached Securely

Your replacement teeth attached to the base won’t wobble or slide around. They’re locked in and ready for everyday use.

Appearance of Natural Teeth

Each set is shaped and colored to match the appearance of natural teeth. No one will be able to tell the difference.

Teeth Remain in the Upper Jaw

If teeth remain in the upper jaw, we make partials that fit just the top. Same goes for the lower.

Complete Tooth Loss

If you’ve had complete tooth loss, full dentures are the solution. They bring back function and help shape your face again.

Several Missing Teeth

Got several missing teeth? Partial dentures can fill the spaces and give you back your bite.

Need to Replace Teeth?

You need to replace missing teeth to avoid long-term problems. Dentures can help keep everything in line.

Missing Teeth and Surrounding Tissues

Dentures don’t just replace teeth. They support missing teeth and surrounding tissues too, like your cheeks and lips.

Natural Teeth From Shifting

Partials help stop natural teeth from shifting. Open gaps can cause the rest of your teeth to move around. That throws off your bite.

Choosing the Right Smile Solution

Choosing the right denture depends on your needs. We’ll help you pick the best fit and style for your mouth.

Common Questions About Dentures

As you consider dentures, you may have several questions. Below, we address some of the most frequently asked questions:

What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures are used when all your natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are designed to replace a few missing teeth and fit around your existing natural ones.

How long does it take to get dentures?

Most patients receive their dentures within a few appointments. If you’re getting immediate dentures after tooth removal, you’ll leave with teeth the same day. Final adjustments may take a bit longer to ensure a perfect fit.

Will my dentures look natural?

Absolutely. All of our dentures are custom-shaped, sized, and shaded to match your facial features and smile. Most people won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing them.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes. While there’s a short adjustment period, you’ll be able to enjoy most of your favorite foods again. Implant-supported dentures offer even more stability for eating chewy or crunchy items.

What are implant-supported dentures?

These dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in your jaw. They’re more secure, don’t rely on adhesives, and offer a stronger bite force—making them feel more like real teeth.

Do dentures hurt or feel uncomfortable?

New dentures may feel a bit odd at first, but discomfort usually goes away as your mouth adjusts. We’re here to make adjustments as needed to ensure a comfortable fit.

How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures can last 5 to 10 years. Over time, your gums and jaw may shift, so occasional relining or replacement is recommended to keep them fitting well.

How do I care for my dentures at home?

Brush your dentures daily with a soft denture brush, soak them overnight in a cleanser, and always remove them at night to let your gums rest. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive.

Will I need messy impressions for dentures?

No. At Bright Smiles, we use digital scanners like TRIOS and Primescan to capture high-resolution 3D images of your mouth—no goopy, uncomfortable impressions required. This technology ensures a more precise fit and a faster, more comfortable experience.

How long will it take to adjust to new dentures?

Most patients adjust to new dentures within a few weeks. During this time, you may experience minor soreness or increased saliva, which is completely normal. Our team provides support and adjustments as needed to ensure your dentures feel natural and comfortable as quickly as possible.

Can dentures improve my speech and chewing?

Yes. Dentures restore function so you can speak more clearly and chew with greater ease. If you’ve been missing teeth, you’ll likely notice a significant improvement. For even more stability and natural function, ask us about implant-supported denture options.

How do you speed up healing if extractions are needed first?

We offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy, which uses your own blood to create a concentrated healing matrix. PRF helps reduce swelling, promotes faster healing, and improves comfort after extractions or implant placement. It’s a safe, natural way to support your recovery.

Do you offer sedation for extractions or implant placement?

Yes. Your comfort is our priority. We offer multiple sedation options, including oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). During your consultation, we’ll review your health history and recommend the best sedation method for your procedure and comfort level.

Do you offer sedation for extractions or implant placement?

Yes. Your comfort is our priority. We offer multiple sedation options, including oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). During your consultation, we’ll review your health history and recommend the best sedation method for your procedure and comfort level.

Do you use lasers to improve denture fit or healing?

Yes. We use advanced dental lasers, including the Fotona LightWalker and Biolase Waterlase systems, to perform gentle soft tissue procedures. Lasers can help contour the gums, release tight tissue (frenums), and reduce discomfort—often with faster healing and minimal bleeding.
