Full dentures & partial dentures in Racine

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made false teeth designed to replace missing ones. They can be full or partial, depending on how many of your teeth are missing. Today’s denture options are more natural-looking than ever, and they’re made to fit snugly over your gums. These teeth replacements can significantly boost your quality of life. A denture is often more affordable than other options, and getting them is a relatively quick process. If you have missing teeth, dentures could be the ideal solution for you.

Types of Affordable, Quality Dentures

There are several denture options to choose from, whether you need to replace all your teeth or fill in a few gaps. Schedule a consultation with us, and we’ll provide personalized guidance to help you choose the best solution.

Full Denture/Complete Denture

When people think of traditional dentures, a full denture is what usually comes to mind. A full denture takes the place of all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. They feature artificial teeth set onto an acrylic base that matches the color of your gums. An upper full denture stays in place primarily through natural suction against the roof of your mouth, whereas a lower denture relies on the shape of your jawbone for stability. A lower denture in particular may need denture adhesive for extra security.

Partial Denture

If you still have some of your natural teeth, a partial solution might be perfect for you. This removable option often uses a metal framework with clasps to attach to your existing teeth. They are made to stay snugly in place without slipping or shifting.

Flexible Partial Denture

For extra comfort, many people choose flexible partial options. Made from a bendable material that moves with your mouth, these don't have metal clasps and are hypoallergenic. Their base is gum-colored for an invisible look in your mouth.

Implant-Supported Denture

An implant-supported solution provides a more permanent fix by attaching to dental implants. Unlike regular replacements that sit on your gums, these are anchored to your jawbone for added stability. They can be either removable or fixed.

All-on-4® Dentures

The All-on-4® dentures treatment concept supports a full arch of artificial teeth without needing an implant for every missing tooth. It uses just four implants to hold one full arch securely in place. If you’re wondering about the cost of All-on-4 dentures, it might be more affordable than you think.

Getting Dentures

The process for getting dentures varies based on the type you're getting, but in general, after your initial denture consultation, you'll have impressions made of your teeth and gums. After that, you'll have a try-on appointment with a wax version of your denture to make sure everything feels just right. About two weeks after that, we’ll deliver your custom denture along with easy-to-follow care instructions. You'll have a follow-up appointment very soon after you receive your appliance to make sure it fits comfortably and correctly.

How Much Do Dentures Cost?

Your denture cost depends on the type you choose—partial, full, or implant-supported. Other factors include the materials used and the complexity of your treatment plan, such as whether you need extractions. We’ll walk you through all the options so you can pick what works best for you. No matter what you choose, these solutions are a great investment in your smile and overall well-being.

What Is a Soft Denture Reline?

If your replacements are causing sore spots or discomfort, a denture reline might be just what you need. Instead of the usual hard acrylic, we use soft reline material to create a cushion between your replacements and gums. This soft layer helps reduce irritation, making your denture much more comfortable to wear. This reline can last up to two years.
