Are missing teeth affecting your smile? Do your teeth sometimes embarrass you? Do missing teeth change what you can eat?

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can also impact your ability to eat comfortably and may affect your confidence and overall well-being. Dr. Kelsey Greene, Dr. Stephen Ratcliff, and their caring, well-trained team want to help you smile again. That’s why we offer a variety of denture options designed to address different levels of tooth loss and individual needs.

Solutions for Missing Teeth

Whether you are missing a full set of teeth or only a few, there are several options available for restoring your smile. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your needs and help you determine which type of denture is the best fit for you.

What Types of Dentures Are There?

Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures are still a viable and valuable option for anyone looking to restore their smile with an affordable set of dentures. We offer high-quality dentures made from quality denture materials that look and feel like natural teeth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures use the same high-quality denture materials and are designed to replace a row of missing teeth rather than a full set of teeth on the upper or lower arch. Partial dentures can be connected with wires, similar to a retainer, or secured permanently to dental implants. They can also be attached on each end to dental crowns for added security.

Permanent Dentures

Permanent dentures are a secure denture option because they are supported by dental implants.

Dental implants are small titanium rods placed into the gums and jawbone. Within 3–6 months, these dental implants heal and form a “new” tooth root. The permanent dentures can then be securely attached to the dental implants. Permanent dentures are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Because the implant-supported dentures stay in place, they can allow you to smile, laugh, and eat the foods you enjoy with greater confidence.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures can provide several benefits for patients with missing or damaged teeth.

Functional Benefits

Dentures can help restore your ability to bite and chew effectively.

Cosmetic Benefits

Dentures can also provide support for your facial structure. Missing teeth can cause facial muscles to sag, which may contribute to an older appearance. By supporting the facial structure, dentures can help maintain the muscle tone and appearance of the face, jaw, and neck.

Emotional Benefits

Dentures of all varieties can help restore confidence for patients who have been living with missing or damaged teeth for years.
