Dentures


Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that are not permanently affixed.  Dentures can be taken out and put back into your mouth.

Dentures take some getting used to and will never feel the same as your natural teeth.  However, modern dentures are natural looking and very comfortable.

There are two main types of dentures: full and partial.

  • Partial Dentures rests on a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Sometimes crowns are placed on some of your natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.
  • Complete Dentures are used to replace all your teeth. With complete dentures, the base of the upper denture covers the palate (the roof of your mouth), while that of the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate your tongue.

Dr Cox and our experienced staff will help you determine which dentures are right for you.
