RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Dentures & Partials

Replace Your Missing Teeth with Customized, Natural-looking Partial and Full Dentures

Losing teeth can directly hamper your oral function, self-confidence, and overall health. Our dental team at Covington Family Dentistry in Covington, Georgia, offers numerous tooth replacement options to support you when you have lost teeth. One way we help you overcome tooth loss is by offering natural-looking dentures. We use customized fixed and removable dentures and partials to restore your oral function with aesthetics in mind.

RESTORE FUNCTION & CONFIDENCE

Types of Dentures

Dentures come in all sizes and shapes to support different patients’ needs. Different types of dentures include:

  • Complete dentures: A full denture is ideal if you have lost all or most of your teeth on the top or lowerjaw. Full dentures are secured by suction and adhesives, although you can consider implant-supported dentures for added stability.
  • Partials: Similar to a dental bridge, a fixed or removable partial denture fills your mouth gap if you miss one or more teeth in a row. And since our partials are natural-looking, they fit your smile like a puzzle.
  • Immediate dentures: Patients who don’t want to experience any downtime after extracting all their teeth can benefit from immediate dentures. However, since these dentures aren’t
    customized, they need several adjustments down the road as your gums cope with bone loss.
  • Implant-retained dentures: While traditional dentures work, they may be uncomfortable or ill-fitting in some patients. Our dentists can recommend implant dentures that provide more stability when chewing and speaking.

We fabricate your dentures after taking impressions of your upper and lower arches. We then send the images to a lab technician to fabricate dentures that fit welland look natural. Besides, our dentures are made of life-like materials. The base is created using lightweight, gum-looking acrylic material, while the “artificial teeth” are made of porcelain. Once your sink our quality dentures in your mouth, they provide a comfortable fit and aesthetically appealing look.

THE PROCESS

How Denture Treatment Works

Dentures can replace missing teeth and help restore a more complete smile. The right design depends on the number and location of missing teeth, the condition of remaining teeth, gum and bone support, comfort, and whether dental implants will be part of the treatment plan.

THE BENEFITS

Benefits of Customized Dentures

CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR SMILE

How Are Dentures Made?

  1. Your Denture is Planned

    From records of the upper and lower arches, bite, tooth position, and appearance. A dental laboratory fabricates the prosthesis using denture-base material and artificial teeth selected for your treatment plan.

  2. Fit and Appearance

    Often require adjustment, especially after recent extractions as the gums and underlying bone heal and change.

WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Choosing the Right Denture or Partial

  • You are missing several teeth, most teeth, or all teeth in an arch.
  • Remaining teeth are evaluated to determine whether they should support a partial denture.
  • Your gums and oral tissues are healthy enough for prosthetic treatment.
  • You understand that immediate dentures often require later adjustments or relining.
  • You want to compare conventional dentures with implant-supported options.

Drs. Doreen Wilson and John Hendricks can help you compare the available options and determine which design best matches your oral health, comfort, function, and budget.

What Our Patients Say

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dentures & Partials FAQs

Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace selected missing teeth and work with the remaining natural teeth and tissues.

Immediate dentures are designed so they can be placed soon after teeth are removed. Because the mouth changes during healing, they commonly need adjustments, relining, or later replacement.

Yes. Selected patients can use dental implants to improve retention or support for a removable or fixed full-arch prosthesis.

Adaptation varies. Speech, chewing, saliva, and sore areas can take time to settle, and follow-up adjustments are an expected part of care.

Remove and clean removable dentures daily using products and techniques recommended by your dentist. Clean your gums, tongue, and remaining teeth as well.

No. Dentures and the tissues supporting them change over time. Wear, fit, tooth changes, and bone or gum changes mean periodic adjustment, relining, repair, or replacement may be needed.
