If you are looking for a natural-looking and cost-effective dental treatment to replace missing teeth, dentures may be the solution for you! Harmony Family Dental is pleased to provide complete or partial dentures to help restore your beautiful smile!
Dentures are prosthetic teeth that are designed to replace missing natural teeth while also providing support to your lips and cheeks. Worn by patients who have lost their natural teeth due to illness or injury, dentures are supported by the surrounding tissue of the oral cavity. Dentures are particularly suitable for patients who may not be good candidates for dental implants or prefer exploring alternative options for teeth replacement. Dentures are crafted specifically to meet each patient’s personalized needs and preferences, and they are available as completely removable or implant-supported, as well as complete or partial.
Complete dentures are often recommended for patients who have lost, or are in the process of losing, all of their natural teeth. Tailored specifically to each patient, complete dentures ensure a customized and personalized fit, aiding in chewing and speaking. Additionally, complete dentures contribute to a fuller face profile, enhancing your overall appearance.

Partial dentures are often recommended for patients who still have some of their natural teeth remaining, but are experiencing gaps due to missing teeth in specific areas of their mouth. Usually designed to fill the spaces between existing teeth, partial dentures are removable. Custom-made for each patient, partial dentures can cover an entire section of the mouth, providing a natural look and feel.
If you are currently wearing conventional dentures, either full or partial, you may relate to:
These are all possible damaging effects of wearing dentures. Your jaw bones need the support of the tooth roots to stay healthy, stimulated and strong. Over time, jaw bones that do not have the support of tooth roots lose height, width and density of the bone after several years of wearing dentures, resulting in the deterioration of the jaw bone. The changes in the jawbone can make dentures fit poorly, which can affect your overall quality of life.
Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on top of your gums, implant retained dentures are anchored directly to your jawbone using dental implants. Dental implants are very tiny posts that replace missing tooth roots.
Implant-retained dentures can slow bone loss, eliminate the need for adhesive and keep your dentures in place. Implant-retained dentures offer more stability for speaking and chewing. Treatment times vary for each patient, but average times range from 3 to 6 months. After treatment, patients should be able to speak, eat and chew better than they have in years!
Many patients are able to keep their original dentures by having modifications made to accommodate the implant retained treatment option. Speak with a Harmony Family Dental professional to see if you are a good candidate for a dentures adjustment.
No, it should not be difficult to place and remove your overdenture as the level of retention can be adjusted as necessary.
