Full & Partial Dentures in Gibsonia & Pittsburgh, PA

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types:

• Full Dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
• Partial Dentures: Replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth.

Each set is crafted to fit comfortably and look natural, using durable materials for long-lasting wear.

Full Dentures: When All Teeth Are Missing

Full dentures are an ideal solution for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. Our team will:

1. Evaluate your oral health and bone structure.
2. Take digital impressions using iTero technology for a precise, comfortable fit.
3. Provide you with a custom set of dentures that enhance both function and facial aesthetics.

We also offer support for patients transitioning from natural teeth to dentures, including tooth extractions and healing solutions like bone grafting, when needed.

Partial Dentures: Replace Multiple Missing Teeth

Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain. These prosthetics:

• Fill gaps in your smile.
• Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.
• Are supported by a metal or acrylic base with clasps for stability.

Partial dentures are often considered as an alternative to other restorative treatments like dental bridges or dental implants, especially when surgery is not an option.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For greater stability and comfort, we also offer implant-supported dentures. These dentures attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jaw, providing a secure fit that eliminates the need for adhesives.

If you're interested in a more permanent option, explore All-On-X implants or our Stabili-Teeth solution for same-day results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How long do dentures last?
With proper care, full and partial dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Regular checkups ensure proper fit and function as your mouth changes over time.

Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are much more comfortable than in the past. Our use of digital impressions and custom fitting minimizes discomfort and improves day-to-day wearability.

Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes. While there’s a short adjustment period, most patients return to a regular diet with only minor modifications. Implant-supported dentures offer the most stability for chewing tougher foods.

What if my dentures break or feel loose?
Contact us right away. We offer in-office repairs and relines to quickly address issues with fit or function.

Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of dentures. Our team can help you understand your benefits and offer flexible financing options if needed.
