Tooth loss can affect many aspects of your daily life, from how you eat to how you feel about your smile.

The Denture Fitting Process

The process of getting dentures begins with a detailed evaluation of your oral health. Based on the number and position of missing teeth, we recommend either partial or full dentures to best suit your needs.


A custom mold of your mouth is created to ensure a proper fit, and your dentures are carefully designed for comfort and natural appearance. In some cases, temporary dentures may be provided while your final set is being made. Once complete, we ensure the fit is adjusted so your dentures feel secure and function properly. The process includes:

A white checkmark inside a black circle.

Comprehensive Exam and Treatment Planning

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are partial dentures?

    Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and are designed to fill in the gaps created by missing teeth. They fit comfortably around your existing teeth and help restore your ability to chew and speak properly. Partial dentures also help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting over time.

  • What are full dentures?

    Full dentures are designed for patients who are missing all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore both function and appearance. Full dentures help improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently while supporting the structure of your facial features.

  • How do I care for my dentures?

    Caring for your dentures involves cleaning them daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser to remove food particles and plaque. They should be stored properly when not in use and kept moist to maintain their shape. Regular dental visits are also important to ensure proper fit and oral health.

  • How long do dentures last?

    Dentures can last several years, but they may need to be adjusted or replaced over time due to normal wear and changes in your mouth. With proper care and regular checkups, dentures can continue to function well and remain comfortable for many years.

  • Can I eat normally with dentures?

    There is usually an adjustment period when you first get dentures, but most patients are able to return to eating a wide variety of foods. Starting with softer foods and gradually reintroducing harder textures can help you adapt more comfortably while regaining confidence in your ability to chew.
