Full dentures
A full denture replaces all the teeth in the upper arch, the lower arch, or both. Each denture is custom-made from impressions of your mouth, then fitted in multiple appointments to ensure comfort and natural appearance. The teeth are shaped and shaded to blend with your features — so people notice your smile, not your denture.
Partial dentures
A partial denture replaces a few missing teeth while keeping your healthy natural teeth in place. Partials use a metal or flexible framework that clasps around neighboring teeth, holding the replacement teeth securely in position.
Implant-supported dentures
For patients who struggle with denture stability — especially lower dentures that tend to shift — we offer implant-supported dentures. A few strategically placed dental implants anchor the denture firmly in place, restoring strong biting force and eliminating most slippage.
What to expect
- Initial exam, records, and treatment planning
- Custom impressions of your mouth
- Try-in appointments to verify fit, bite, and appearance
- Final delivery and any needed adjustments
- Follow-up visits to fine-tune comfort
Adjustment period
New dentures always take a little getting used to. In the first few weeks, you may notice increased saliva, minor soreness, and some changes in speech — all completely normal and temporary. We'll see you for follow-up visits as often as needed to make sure your denture feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get dentures?+
The full process typically takes several weeks, including impressions, try-in appointments to check fit and appearance, and final delivery. We don't rush it because getting the fit right matters more than getting them fast.
Will dentures look natural?+
Modern dentures look far better than they used to. The teeth are shaped and shaded to match your facial features, and we work with you during try-in appointments to make sure you're happy with the appearance before finalizing them.
Can I eat normally with dentures?+
Most patients return to eating a wide variety of foods after the adjustment period. Start with soft foods and work up gradually. Implant-supported dentures restore even stronger biting force for patients who need extra stability.
How long do dentures last before they need to be replaced?+
With proper care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Your jawbone changes shape over time, so even well-maintained dentures may eventually need to be relined or remade for a proper fit.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?+
Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both). Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth while keeping your healthy natural teeth in place, using a framework that clasps around neighboring teeth.
Do you offer implant-supported dentures in Bridgewater?+
Yes. For patients who struggle with denture stability, we offer implant-supported dentures. A few strategically placed dental implants anchor the denture firmly in place, eliminating most slippage and restoring strong biting force.
