Modern dentures are lighter, better-fitting, and far more natural-looking than the ones you may remember from years ago. When they are built and adjusted carefully, they let you enjoy meals and conversations without a second thought.
At Lakewood Dental, we take our time on the fit. That is the difference between a denture you tolerate and one you actually love.
What it is
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. Full dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while working around the healthy teeth you still have.
For patients who want the most stability, implant-supported dentures snap onto a small number of dental implants for a rock-solid feel.
Who it helps
Patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in one arch, patients with several missing teeth in different spots, and anyone whose current denture is loose, sore, or no longer looks natural. Dentures are also a good option when other tooth replacements are not the right fit medically or financially.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will my dentures look fake?
Modern dentures use lifelike materials and are shaded to match healthy natural teeth. Most people cannot tell they are dentures at all.
How long does it take to get used to them?
Most patients adjust within a few weeks. Speech and chewing feel more natural over time as your muscles adapt. We are here for adjustments.
How do I clean my dentures?
Rinse after meals, brush daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and soak overnight in a denture solution. Never use hot water, which can warp the fit.
Will they stay in when I eat?
A well-fitted denture holds well for most foods. If stability is a concern, implant-supported dentures anchor securely to a few small implants.
How often should dentures be replaced?
Most dentures last five to ten years. Gums and bone change over time, so periodic relines and eventual replacement keep the fit healthy.
