Which Type of Denture Is Right for You?

There are two types of available dentures; full and partial. Full, or complete, dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when only one or more teeth are missing in an area of the mouth.

Full Dentures

If you are missing all or most of your teeth, then a full denture may be recommended. A full denture consists of a lower arch, an upper arch, or both, plus a plastic base. The base is the color of your natural gums and holds a full set of plastic or porcelain teeth. Full dentures are held in the mouth by forming a seal with the gums.

Partial Dentures

For those who are missing teeth, but still have healthy teeth as well, partial dentures can be just the thing to restore your healthy smile. A partial denture consists of a removable, gum-colored plastic base with plastic or porcelain teeth attached. It connects to your existing teeth, filling in the gaps, to complete your natural-looking smile.

A dentist at our clinic in Fort Wayne, IN, will perform a thorough examination to determine which type of denture is best for your dental needs.

Are Dentures Right for You?

If you’ve been living with missing teeth or struggling with older restorations that no longer fit comfortably, dentures may be the perfect way to restore your smile and confidence.

You may be a good candidate for dentures if you:

Have lost several or all of your natural teeth due to gum disease, decay, or injury
Want to improve your ability to speak and chew comfortably
Are looking for an affordable, non-surgical tooth replacement option
Prefer a removable solution that can be easily maintained

At our trusted denture clinic in Fort Wayne, IN, we provide both full dentures and partial dentures designed to look natural, fit comfortably, and support long-term oral health. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your needs and help you find the right path to a confident, healthy smile.

Dentures vs. Dental Implants: Which Option is Best?

While dentures remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to replace missing teeth, some patients may benefit from dental implants.

Here’s how they compare:

Full and partial dentures rest comfortably on the gums and can be removed for cleaning.
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Implant-supported dentures combine both options, offering extra stability while maintaining removability.

Dental implants may be ideal for patients with good bone density who want a permanent solution, while dentures are better suited for those seeking flexibility or a faster, more affordable restoration. Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and choose what best fits your lifestyle and oral health goals.
