Dentures are a practical and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, helping you regain the confidence, function and appearance of your smile. Whether you are missing several teeth or an entire arch, dentures may be the right choice for you. Dr. Jeff Verner offers both complete and partial dentures, each tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Complete Dentures: Replacing Full Arches
Complete dentures are designed for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both dental arches. These appliances are crafted to fit snugly over your gums, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our dentist will customize complete dentures to ensure they look natural and feel comfortable. Denture adhesives may be recommended to provide additional stability throughout the day, allowing you to eat, speak and smile confidently.
Partial Dentures: Filling the Gaps
If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures can be an excellent option. Partial dentures are constructed with a lightweight framework or precision clasps that attach securely to your remaining teeth. They are designed to seamlessly blend with your natural smile while improving your ability to chew and speak. By filling the gaps caused by missing teeth, partial dentures also help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures, whether complete or partial, provide numerous advantages. They restore your ability to eat and speak with ease, enhance your facial structure by supporting soft tissues, and boost your self-esteem by giving you a confident smile. Modern dentures are designed to look natural and feel secure, ensuring you can enjoy life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures & Partials
What are the main differences between complete and partial dentures?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in a dental arch, while partial dentures are designed to replace several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. Complete dentures rest directly on the gums, whereas partials attach to existing teeth with clasps or a framework for added support and stability.
How long does it take to adjust to wearing dentures?
Adjusting to dentures typically takes a few weeks. Initially, they may feel bulky or uncomfortable as your mouth adapts. Speaking and eating may require practice, but with patience, they will feel natural. Follow the instructions our team provides for care and adjustments to ensure the best fit and comfort.
How do I care for my dentures?
To care for your dentures, clean them daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. Soak them in water or a denture solution overnight to keep them moist. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Regular dental checkups are also essential for maintaining oral health.
Can dentures look and feel natural?
Yes, modern dentures are designed to closely mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and blend with your smile. With advancements in dental materials and techniques, dentures now offer a natural look and improved functionality, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
