Comfortable, natural-looking dentures to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Dentures
Overview

About Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. A full denture replaces all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch, while a partial denture fills in the gaps left by several missing teeth and clasps around the ones that remain. Both are custom-made to sit comfortably against your gums and blend in with your smile.

Replacing missing teeth matters for more than looks. Gaps can make chewing and clear speech difficult, place extra strain on the remaining teeth, and over time can change the shape of the face as the jaw loses support. Well-fitted dentures help restore everyday comfort and confidence.

Dr. Yesina takes a careful, individualized approach, starting with a thorough evaluation and a conversation about your goals. Each denture is designed to fit securely and look natural, with follow-up adjustments to fine-tune comfort and function.

Benefits

Restored function

Dentures make it easier to chew a wider range of foods and speak more clearly.

Natural appearance

Custom-made teeth are shaped and shaded to look natural and complement your smile.

Facial support

Replacing missing teeth helps support the lips and cheeks that can otherwise appear sunken.

Renewed confidence

A complete smile can help you feel more at ease in social and professional situations.

What to expect

  1. 1

    Evaluation and planning

    Your visit begins with an exam of your gums and any remaining teeth, along with a discussion of your goals to determine whether a full or partial denture is the better fit.

  2. 2

    Impressions and measurements

    Molds and measurements of your mouth are taken so your denture can be custom-designed for a secure, comfortable fit.

  3. 3

    Fitting and adjustments

    Once your denture is ready, it is fitted and checked, and minor adjustments are typically made to optimize comfort, bite, and appearance.

  4. 4

    Follow-up care

    With regular checkups and proper daily cleaning, your denture is monitored over time and refit or relined as your mouth naturally changes.

Frequently asked questions

Will dentures feel uncomfortable at first?+
It is normal for new dentures to feel bulky or unusual for a short while as your mouth adjusts. Speaking and eating usually become more natural with practice, and any sore spots can typically be relieved with a simple adjustment.
How do I care for my dentures?+
Dentures should be cleaned daily to remove food and plaque, and are generally removed at night to let your gums rest. Regular dental visits help keep both the denture and your mouth healthy.
How long do dentures last?+
Dentures are durable but not permanent. Over time your gums and jaw naturally change shape, so a denture may need to be relined, adjusted, or eventually replaced to maintain a good fit.
