Dentures

Dentures are a practical way to restore your smile and everyday function after tooth loss. At Marysville Family Dentistry, dentures are customized to fit comfortably, look natural, and support clear speech and confident chewing. Whether you’re missing several teeth or an entire arch, dentures can help you regain comfort and improve quality of life.

There are two main options. Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth while using remaining natural teeth for support. Partials help keep nearby teeth from drifting into open spaces and can improve bite balance. Complete dentures restore a full smile when an arch is missing and can make eating easier compared to leaving the area untreated.

Your denture process begins with a comprehensive evaluation and a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and budget. Precise impressions and bite records are taken so your denture fits properly and feels stable. If extractions are required, your dentist will explain the timing and healing process and discuss whether an immediate denture is appropriate so you have teeth during the transition.

After your denture is delivered, some adjustments are normal as your mouth adapts. Over time, your gums and jawbone can change, so relines or replacements may be recommended to maintain a secure fit. Daily cleaning and proper storage are important to keep your denture fresh and to protect the health of your gums. Regular checkups allow your dentist to monitor fit, comfort, and oral tissue health.

For patients who want more stability, implant-supported dentures can reduce movement and improve chewing efficiency. Marysville Family Dentistry will help you compare options and choose a denture solution that supports comfortable, confident daily living.
