- Immediate denturesMade before your teeth are removed, so you can wear them right after tooth removal and are not without teeth while your gums heal.
- Implant-retained denturesThese attach to dental implants in your jaw, so they are more stable than regular dentures and help keep your jawbone healthy. You can remove them for cleaning.
- Implant-supported denturesFixed in place on implants, they transfer more chewing force to the implants and feel more like natural teeth when you eat. Learn more about implant-supported dentures.

The short answer
Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth that restore a complete arch of teeth on your upper jaw, your lower jaw or both. Each set is crafted at a lab for an exact fit, and you can choose conventional dentures made after your gums heal, immediate dentures worn right after tooth removal, or dentures that attach to dental implants. A new set restores your biting and chewing, gives you back a natural-looking smile, and can be adjusted as your mouth changes over time.
Dentures FAQ
- Who might need dentures?
- Dentures are a good way to replace missing teeth, especially when you need a complete arch replaced on your upper or lower jaw. A lifelike set of dentures restores your biting and chewing capacity. It also gives you back a smile you will be proud to show off. At your consultation, we look at your mouth and explain which type of denture suits you.
- How long does it take to make dentures?
- Dentures take some time to make, because each set is custom-crafted at a lab to ensure an exact fit. While your dentures are being made, we can supply you with a set of temporary dentures to wear. That way, you are never without your teeth. We let you know what to expect for your own case at your consultation.
- What can I eat with dentures?
- With modern dentures you can enjoy a wide range of foods, though conventional dentures may require you to alter some eating habits. Implant-supported dentures provide a more natural biting function. With that option, you can eat a wide variety of crunchy or chewy foods, since the bite strength is comparable to having a full set of natural teeth. We can talk through which option fits the way you like to eat.
- What are immediate dentures?
- Immediate dentures are made before your teeth are removed, so you can wear them right after tooth removal. They help you avoid being without teeth while your gums heal. Conventional full dentures, by contrast, are made after your gums have healed. That later fitting helps them fit well once healing is complete.
- What is the difference between implant-retained and implant-supported dentures?
- Both attach to dental implants, but implant-retained dentures can be removed for cleaning, while implant-supported dentures stay fixed in place. Implant-retained dentures are more stable than regular dentures and help keep your jawbone healthy by preventing bone loss. Implant-supported dentures transfer more chewing force to your implants, so they feel more like natural teeth when you eat. Because they stay in place, you simply brush and floss to clean them.
- Can dentures be adjusted later?
- Yes, dentures can be adjusted as your mouth changes over time. Our team guides you through fitting, adjusting and caring for your new teeth. If your dentures start to feel loose or uncomfortable, let us know so we can check them. Regular visits also let us check your gums and your bite.
