What Are Full and Partial Dentures?

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw—or both. They consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits snugly over your gums, supporting a full set of artificial teeth crafted to closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Partial dentures typically consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal frameworks or flexible materials that hold the denture in place.

Benefits of Custom Dentures

Restored Functionality

Custom dentures restore your ability to chew and speak properly, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate with confidence. They are meticulously crafted to fit your mouth precisely, ensuring optimal comfort and function.

Enhanced Aesthetics

Our dentures are designed with attention to detail, closely mimicking the appearance of natural teeth and gums. Dr. Haider Kalhan works with you to select the shape, size, and color of the artificial teeth, resulting in a smile that looks natural and complements your facial features.

Improved Oral Health

Replacing missing teeth helps maintain the structure of your mouth by providing support to your cheeks and lips, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss. Partial dentures also prevent remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and further tooth loss.

Boosted Confidence

With a complete, natural-looking smile, you can regain your self-esteem and feel more comfortable in social and professional interactions. Dentures can significantly improve your quality of life by restoring your smile and facial appearance.

Affordable Solution

Dentures are often a more cost-effective option compared to other tooth replacement methods like dental implants, making them accessible to a wider range of patients. They provide an effective solution for restoring oral function and aesthetics without extensive surgery.
