Dentures

How missing teeth affect your smile, your health, and your outlook

The Impact of Missing Teeth & Your Solutions

Over 175 million adults nationwide have lost at least one tooth, and 40 million are completely edentulous. Common causes include decay, gum disease, injury, congenital conditions, or medical issues.

Beyond aesthetics, missing teeth can affect speech, eating, facial structure, and dental alignment, leading to further gaps and bite issues. Without proper support, facial contours may appear sunken over time.

At LIV Dentistry, we offer partial and full dentures as a reliable, effective solution to restore function, confidence, and a natural-looking smile—sooner is always better!

Advances in dental materials

Advancements in dental materials and technology make restoring missing teeth easier than ever. While implants and bridges are excellent solutions, removable dentures remain a reliable option for a full, natural-looking smile.

At LIV Dentistry, we craft high-quality, custom-fit dentures to enhance both function and aesthetics, ensuring comfort and confidence in speaking, smiling, and eating.

We take pride in offering personalized solutions tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and budget—helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

What are dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances designed to comfortably rest on the gums, featuring natural-looking artificial teeth on a supportive base. They offer a versatile, cost-effective solution for replacing some or all missing teeth.

Unlike fixed options like implants or bridges, partial and full dentures can be removed for cleaning, maintaining oral health, and sleeping—providing both convenience and function.

Types of Dentures

At LIV Dentistry, we carefully evaluate your oral health and needs to create a personalized denture solution.

The two main types of removable dentures are full dentures and partial dentures, depending on how many natural teeth remain.

Full Dentures

(Complete Dentures) – Replace all upper, lower, or both sets of teeth. The design and fit depend on your specific needs.

Conventional Full Denture

Fabricated after all remaining teeth are removed and tissues heal. Provides a precise, comfortable fit once healing is complete.

Immediate Denture

Placed immediately after extractions, so you don’t have to go without teeth. Requires adjustments as gums heal, and a conventional denture may be needed later.

Overdenture

A complete denture that gains extra stability from natural teeth or implants for improved fit and function.

Implant-Supported Dentures

These dentures attach to strategically placed implants in the jaw for maximum stability, retention, and comfort.

Partial Dentures

Ideal when some natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill gaps and stabilize the bite. They typically attach with clasps or precision attachments to adjacent teeth.

Removable Partial Dentures

Restore one or multiple missing teeth while preventing natural teeth from shifting. Available in materials like metal, flexible resins, or hybrid options for a custom fit.

Providing integrated solutions to rebuild smiles

Designing a well-fitting, natural-looking denture requires expertise in oral function, aesthetics, and materials.

At LIV Dentistry, we stay at the forefront of dental advancements to provide exceptional results.

After reviewing your medical and dental history, we’ll assess your smile, discuss expectations, and determine the best restoration options.

If needed, pre-prosthetic procedures or extractions may be recommended to ensure a secure fit.

The process involves impressions, try-ins, and selecting the ideal tooth shape and shade to create a comfortable, functional denture.

Whether completed in one visit or several, precision at every step ensures long-lasting success.
