Dentures are a removable tooth replacement option used to replace multiple missing teeth and support oral function. At White Oak Dental, both full and partial dentures are offered as part of a comprehensive restorative dental care approach.
Tooth loss can affect chewing, speech, and comfort. Denture treatment is planned based on individual oral health needs, functional goals, and long-term care considerations.
Full dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing in the upper or lower arch. A full denture replaces the visible portion of teeth and is designed to rest on the gums to support basic chewing and speech.
Full dentures are custom-made to fit the contours of the mouth. During planning, factors such as gum health, jaw shape, and bite relationship are considered to support comfort and function.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills the spaces left by missing teeth and is designed to attach securely to remaining teeth.
Partial dentures help maintain spacing between teeth, support chewing, and reduce movement of surrounding teeth. They are designed to fit alongside natural teeth as part of the overall dental structure.
Denture treatment involves assessment, impressions or digital records, and fabrication of a custom appliance designed to fit your mouth. Once placed, adjustments may be required to improve comfort and function.
Over time, changes in the mouth may affect denture fit. Regular dental visits allow for monitoring, maintenance, and repair as needed. In some cases, dental implants may be discussed as a way to help improve denture stability, depending on individual assessment.
