Dentures
Teeth are an important part of your speech, diet, appearance, and health. If you’re missing some or all of your teeth dentures offer a viable solution. We offer three kinds of dentures—removable dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures.
Removable dentures replace all of a patient’s teeth. They’re designed to rest comfortably on the gum tissue and form to the contours of your mouth. Made from gum-colored plastics and tooth-colored porcelains, modern dentures look very similar to natural teeth. Dr. Dougherty will design dentures according to your facial features, coloring, and measurements.
Partial dentures are a great option if you have some healthy teeth remaining. Secured with inconspicuous clasps, partial dentures fit with surrounding dentition like a piece of a puzzle. A partial denture can be removed for regular cleaning and maintenance.
Implant-supported dentures provide unrivaled support and function. No more slipping, clicking, clasps, or adhesives. In addition, implant-supported dentures help prevent the bone loss that accompanies missing teeth. Click here to learn more about dental implants.
Dr. Dougherty will listen to your concerns and help you choose the right option in your case. If you currently wear dentures, bring them in for an evaluation. Dr. Dougherty may recommend relining your current dentures for a better fit or retrofitting them with dental implants for increased stability.
