Types of Dentures We Offer
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They are removable and rest securely on the gums, often supported by suction or mild adhesive. These are ideal for patients with no remaining natural teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill gaps in the smile when some natural teeth remain. They are held in place with metal or tooth-colored clasps and help prevent shifting of existing teeth. We design them for a seamless look and easy wear.
Digital Dentures
Digital dentures are created using advanced digital imaging, allowing for greater precision, comfort, and faster turnaround. They also provide a digital record for easy replacement in case of loss or damage.
Dr. Zhong will evaluate your oral health, jaw structure, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best option for your needs.
When Are Dentures Recommended?
Dentures may be the right choice if you:
- Are missing several or all of your teeth
- Want a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement
- Need a removable option for easier maintenance
- Are seeking an alternative to or preparing for implant placement

We also work with patients transitioning from failing teeth and offer oral surgery and extractions as needed prior to denture placement.

FAQs About Dentures & Partials
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5–10 years. Over time, adjustments or relining may be needed due to natural bone changes.
Are digital dentures better than traditional ones?
Digital dentures often offer a faster turnaround and better precision. They also make future remakes easier since your digital impressions are stored.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though there may be a short adjustment period. We’ll provide tips on chewing and adapting to your new dentures comfortably.
Do dentures hurt or feel bulky?
Properly fitted dentures should not hurt. We customize them for a secure, comfortable fit and adjust as needed during follow-ups.
What if I’m not ready for full dentures?
We offer partial dentures and temporary tooth replacement options. We’ll help you transition at your pace.
