Dentures
Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling more difficult. Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, designed to help restore your smile and support everyday function.
Whether you are missing several teeth or an entire arch, choosing the right replacement starts with understanding your oral health and goals. At Lakewood Dental of Colorado, we can evaluate your teeth and gums, discuss your concerns, and help you understand your treatment options.
Getting used to dentures takes time, and adjustments may be needed as your mouth adapts. A personalized fit, daily cleaning, and regular dental visits help maintain comfort and keep your mouth healthy.
Types of Dentures:
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and are custom-made to suit your mouth and facial appearance.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They are designed to fit around your existing teeth and can be removed for daily cleaning.
Your smile, oral health, and budget all matter when choosing dentures. Our team can explain the next steps and help you make an informed decision about replacing missing teeth. If you have questions about dentures in Lakewood or would like to schedule an evaluation, call our office at (303) 233-1112.

See all financing optionsQ1. What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. Your dentist can help determine which design suits your oral health and needs.
Q2. Will new dentures feel different at first?
Yes. New dentures can take time to get used to, especially when eating and speaking. Follow your dentist's guidance and attend adjustment visits. Persistent soreness or difficulty wearing them should be evaluated.
Q3. What should I do if my dentures feel loose?
Schedule an examination rather than trying to adjust them yourself. Changes in your gums and jawbone can affect the fit. Your dentist may recommend an adjustment, reline, replacement, or another treatment option.
Q4. How are implant-supported dentures different from conventional dentures?
Conventional dentures rest on the gums, while implant-supported options connect to implants for additional support. Some are removable and others are fixed. Suitability depends on your oral health, bone, and treatment goals.
We provide compassionate, advanced dental care that delivers lasting confidence and healthy smiles.
