Call us if your denture
Is causing any of these problems.

Broken denture? Call as soon as possible. A poor fit can irritate your gums.
Types of dentures
Full, partial, or held by implants.
The right denture depends on how many natural teeth you have and how you’d like it to feel.
- Full
Conventional full dentures
Replace all of your teeth. They’re placed after your gums have fully healed, which can take several months.
- Full
Immediate full dentures
Placed right after your teeth are removed, so you’re never without teeth. They may need frequent adjustments during the first couple of months.
- Partial
Partial dentures
Attach to a metal frame connected to your natural teeth to fill in gaps. A removable alternative to a bridge.
- Implant
Implant-supported dentures
Snap onto dental implants so they stay put, or fix permanently in place with All-on-4.
Caring for your dentures
A little care each day keeps them like new.
Dentures aren’t immune to plaque and tartar. Just like natural teeth, they need daily care to stay clean and keep bacteria from growing in your mouth.
Still see us twice a year. Regular checkups keep your gums healthy and your dentures fitting well.
- Handle them over a towel or a sink of water
- Brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush
- Rinse them after every meal
- Use mild hand or dish soap, not toothpaste
- Keep them moist in water or solution
- Gently brush your gums and tongue too
Getting your dentures
Fitted to you, adjusted until right.
Dentures aren’t for everyone. We’ll start by finding out whether they’re the right choice for you.
Consultation
We examine your mouth, answer your questions and determine the best course of treatment for your long-term dental health.
Impressions and design
We take impressions and choose the shape and shade of your new teeth so they look natural with your face.
Try-in and fitting
You try your dentures in, and we make any adjustments needed for comfort, bite and appearance.

Common questions
Dentures FAQ
Have another question about dentures? Call us and we’ll be glad to help.
- What are dentures?
- Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types: full dentures and partial dentures.
- What’s the difference between conventional and immediate dentures?
- Conventional full dentures are placed after the gums have healed, which can take several months. Immediate dentures are placed right after teeth are removed and may need frequent adjustments in the first couple of months.
- What is a partial denture?
- A partial denture is attached to a metal frame connected to your natural teeth, filling in where teeth have been removed. It’s a removable alternative to a bridge.
- How should I clean my dentures?
- Brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush and a mild hand or dish soap, rinse after meals, and keep them moist when you’re not wearing them. Many toothpastes and cleaners are too harsh.
- Why do my dentures need to stay moist?
- Dentures that dry out can lose their shape, crack or break. Keep them in water or a denture solution. Ask us which solution is best for your style of denture.
- What should I do if my denture breaks?
- Call us and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. A broken denture that doesn’t fit properly can irritate your gums and mouth.
- Can dentures be held in place with implants?
- Yes. Implant-supported dentures snap onto implants for a much more secure fit, and All-on-4 can fix a full arch of teeth permanently.

Kind words from our patients
I know most people hate the dentist but I love it! And it especially helps having such a great dental team that I know I can trust. I love leaving with my teeth feeling clean and well cared for. Dr. Bryan and his assistants (both Jess and Aliya) are so kind and caring.

My experience with Dr. Labin has been nothing but positive! I have been going to him for years and he is very gentle, making sure his patients are comfortable before he starts any procedure. The staff, from the office staff to the dental hygienists, are all professional and go above and beyond.
