What Are Dentures?

Dentures are take-out oral appliances designed to replace absent teeth and the underlying gum tissue. They consist of prosthetic teeth set into a gum-colored acrylic base that sits against your gum tissue. Complete dentures replace an full row of teeth — either the top arch, the mandibular arch, or both. Targeted dentures fill in the gaps when some natural teeth still exist.

In terms of how they function, dentures operate through spreading chewing forces over the gum tissue and in certain cases the roof of the mouth. Full dentures rely on the fit between the base and gum ridge along with additional dental adhesive for extra stability. Partial dentures use specially crafted metal clasps that grip your adjacent healthy teeth to provide stability while chewing.

Implant-retained dentures represent a more advanced variation where titanium implant posts are placed in the underlying bone to offer a stronger anchoring point for the prosthetic. This approach eliminates slipping and supports improved oral function than conventional dentures. Our providers will review your specific circumstances to identify the best type of dentures for you.
