Dentures

Dentures are a practical solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring everyday comfort. At Shpritz Family Dental, dentures are crafted to look natural, support your facial structure, and help you eat and speak more confidently. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or an entire arch, a well-made denture can restore function and improve quality of life.

Dentures come in two primary types. Full dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill in spaces when you still have healthy natural teeth. Partials help stabilize remaining teeth and reduce drifting, which can otherwise lead to bite changes and uneven chewing. Full dentures provide a complete smile when an arch is missing and can improve chewing efficiency compared to leaving the area untreated.

Your denture process begins with a thorough exam and a conversation about your needs, preferences, and budget. Precise impressions and bite records are taken to create a comfortable fit and balanced alignment. If extractions are necessary, your dentist will explain the timing and healing process, including whether an immediate denture may be appropriate so you aren’t without teeth during the transition.

Because gums and jawbone can change over time, adjustments are common after delivery, and relines or replacements may be needed in the future to maintain a secure fit. Your Shpritz Family Dental team will show you how to clean and care for your denture properly and how to keep oral tissues healthy. Regular checkups are important to monitor fit and comfort and to evaluate your gums and any remaining teeth.

For patients who want added stability, implant-supported dentures can reduce movement and improve bite strength. Shpritz Family Dental will help you compare options and choose a solution that supports comfortable, confident daily living.
