Natural-Looking Dentures Restore Your Smile
DENTURES CAN IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
Dentures are a common solution to restoring function and aesthetics to your smile after multiple teeth have been lost. A prosthetic full or partial arch of teeth can be created to fit perfectly to your jaw and replace your missing teeth. With dentures, you will be able to return to a more natural quality of life and feel more confident in your smile and interactions with others. At Weimar Family Dentistry, you can count on our dentures to be natural looking and comfortable within your smile.
WHY CHOOSE DENTURES?
When preparing you for a denture or partial denture, Dr. Richard Weimar always begins with a thorough examination of your mouth. We utilize an intraoral camera, which takes detailed images of your jaw and allows us to create an ideal fit for your denture. Your denture will rest comfortably on your gums and replace any missing teeth.
Dentures offer many benefits to your smile, including:
- Replace missing teeth
- Natural look
- Eat and chew more foods
- Improves facial shape
- Enhances self-confidence
TRADITIONAL VS. PARTIAL DENTURES
At Weimar Family Dentistry, we offer both full and partial dentures. Traditional dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth and rest on your gums through tight suction or adhesive pastes. These are ideal for those who have lost all their teeth and are looking for an affordable solution to tooth replacement. Partial dentures replace only the teeth you have lost and snap around your existing teeth for a firm fit. This fills in the gaps of your smile and returns function and appearance to an incomplete mouth.

Upper Horseshoe Denture, Implant Retained THE DENTAL IMPLANT ALTERNATIVE
You can rely on our dentures to look natural and be durable thanks to Dr. Weimar’s attention to detail. While dentures are effective at replacing missing teeth, we also offer dental implants which are a more long-term and stable solution to tooth loss. With implants we can replace single, multiple and even a full arch of teeth. For some cases, we can even give you all new teeth the same day as your implant surgery! Dr. Richard Weimar offers a free consultation to help you discover if implants may be right for your smile.
FAQs
Q: What Are Dentures?
A: Dentures are a form of artificial teeth used for tooth replacement. Dentures are removable but provide the same functionality as your natural teeth. They allow you to chew your food properly, speak without impediment, and retain good oral hygiene. Dentures come in several forms, including full dentures (to replace an entire arch of teeth) and partial dentures, which are put in place to replace several missing teeth when an entire arch replacement is not necessary.
Q: How Do Dentures Work?
A: A denture, whether complete or partial, is crafted from a flexible material that allows it to move in your mouth to assist with speaking and chewing. Dentures can be held in place with denture adhesive, be implant-supported, or (for partial dentures) can clasp or be clipped onto abutment teeth. It is essential to care for your dentures properly to ensure they last as long as possible and maintain the health of your gums and (if you have any) adjacent teeth.
Q: Are There Multiple Types of Dentures?
A: There are three types of dentures:
- Traditional (Complete) Dentures: This type of denture is removable and involves fake teeth, which are joined by wires to a plastic baseplate or a metal clasp that keeps them attached to the gums. A traditional denture will help patients who have no natural teeth remaining
- Implant-supported dentures: An implant-supported denture is a complete denture that will attach to dental implants. The implants must be put into place first and completely healed and fused/integrated with the jawbone before the denture can be attached
- Fixed Dentures: A fixed denture is a form of denture that will not move and cannot be removed. It is attached directly to the jaw and will not require any dental adhesive or clip to remain in place
Q: How Do I Clean My Dentures?
A: Cleaning your dentures is simple. If you have removable dentures, you simply need to remove them and put them into a bowl of water. You can then use a denture brush or sponge to clean them gently. It is essential not to use toothpaste or any other type of cleaner not meant specifically for dentures, as this could result in damage. It is important to remove your dentures before going to bed at night and always make sure they are dry before putting them back into your mouth.
Q: How Can Dentures Benefit Me?
A: Dentures provide several benefits to patients who choose them for teeth replacement. Some significant benefits they offer include allowing you to speak clearly, chew food, and restore the appearance of a natural smile. Without dentures, some of our patients have come to us talking about how they experience consistent mouth and jaw pain due to not having a steady bite. When you choose dentures, you will pick an option that will not only allow you to feel and live better but also look better at work or in social situations. They can truly improve your self-esteem.
Q: Who Can Benefit From Dentures?
A: If you have lost your natural teeth and want to improve your ability to chew or speak properly, a denture could be a great option. If you are missing more than three teeth, talk to Dr. Weimar about our denture options.
