Full and partial dentures offer solid solutions for restoring multiple missing teeth.

Dentures and Partials

Tooth loss can significantly impact daily life, particularly when multiple teeth are missing. It becomes challenging to chew and eat comfortably, and interacting with others may feel embarrassing because of the appearance of your smile.

The good news is that dentures provide an excellent solution for individuals with multiple missing teeth. Whether you have quite a few healthy teeth remaining or are looking at replacing an entire arch of missing teeth, full or partial dentures may be the solution you need.

What Are Partial Dentures?

A traditional partial denture is a removable appliance that uses custom prosthetic teeth to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. Dr. Carlson designs your partial denture so the artificial teeth blend seamlessly into your smile, adding natural aesthetics and exceptional function.

What Is a Complete Denture?

A complete denture is an acrylic appliance that is also removable; however, it’s designed to replace an entire arch of upper or lower teeth.

Keep in mind, these are not the dentures your parents or grandparents wore. Today’s dentures are designed with consideration as to how they impact your facial structure and complement your skin tone, so they look beautiful and natural.

What Is an Implant-Supported Denture?

We can use dental implants to anchor a full or partial denture, providing stability and security for the denture wearer so there is no movement or slippage during talking, laughing, or eating.

Dr. Carlson will design the denture to fit into a few strategically placed implants, which hold it securely in place.

Implants also provide the additional benefit of protecting the health of your jawbone, keeping it stimulated so there is no deterioration over time, as there is with traditional denture wear. Implant dentures in Colorado Springs offer exceptional longevity for those who choose them to restore their smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of an implant-supported denture?

If you're missing all or most of your teeth, implant-supported dentures could be a game-changer for you. Dr. Carlson often recommends this modern solution because it offers so many advantages over traditional dentures.

The Benefits of Implant Dentures

How They're Different — Unlike regular dentures that sit on your gums and can slip around, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to dental implants in your jawbone. Think of it like having secure posts that hold your dentures firmly in place.
The Benefits You'll Notice — Your dentures will stay put when you eat, talk, or laugh—no more worrying about them slipping or falling out at embarrassing moments. You can say goodbye to messy denture adhesives and feel confident in social situations again.
Eat What You Love — With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy foods that were off-limits with regular dentures. You'll be able to bite into an apple, chew steak, or eat corn on the cob—things that are nearly impossible with traditional dentures. This means you can maintain a healthier, more varied diet.
Preserve Your Facial Structure — One of the biggest advantages is that the implants help preserve your jawbone. Regular dentures can cause your jawbone to shrink over time, changing your facial appearance. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, keeping your face looking fuller and more youthful.
Feel More Like Yourself — Many of our Colorado Springs patients tell us they feel like themselves again after getting implant-supported dentures. You'll taste food better, speak more clearly, and smile with confidence.
