Full & Partial Dentures

Are you having a problem with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures that make it a challenge to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence?

Do you need dentures but resist the idea because you think they'll look so obvious everyone will know you're wearing them?

At Clark Dental Studio, you don't have to worry because our updated dentures are designed to look completely natural and feel great!

Types of Dentures

Full dentures consist of an upper and lower plate and are appropriate when all or most of your teeth are missing. A partial denture is used if you have a number of missing teeth but enough left that we can attach to a partial.

We want to provide you with the results you’re looking for, so before we start the process, we’ll talk to you about your expectations and how we can help you obtain the results you desire. We’ll work with you to find the right tooth shape, size, color, and positioning to bring out your most beautiful smile.

Dentures Customized Just for You

The biggest fear most new denture wearers have is that they will have a dramatic impact on their lives because they fit poorly. However, advances in technology and materials have completely changed the way dentures look and feel. You no longer have to worry about dentures that don’t fit well and irritate your mouth.

Our customized dentures are made with an acrylic base that’s shaded to match the natural color of your gums. Artificial teeth are placed in the base one by one for a more natural appearance and the variation that occurs with natural teeth.

Dental Implants Add Stability to Dentures

A common complaint among denture wearers is the discomfort associated with movement of the denture. Patients often report that they are happy with the stability of their uppers but often have problems with their lowers moving around because movement of the tongue can cause the lower denture to come loose.

If you are worried that this will be a problem for you, Dr. Clark can talk to you about using dental implants to secure your denture in place. We have helped many patients who are now happily enjoying the peace of mind and security of using implant-supported dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a bridge or implants?

Let me answer this by telling a story. I’m always surprised by how expensive tires are when I go the mechanic. The last flat tire that I had replaced was almost $200. If a mechanic told me that I need to replace my tires every 50K miles and everytime I do that, it’s going to be almost $800, OR I could buy 4 ‘ultra long distance’ tires that last 200K miles for $1500. I would immediately do the math and know that I probably wouldn’t need to buy tires again if I buy the longer lasting tires. That’s how I feel about implants. With a success rate of greater than 95%, with proper care, dental implants are a great restorative option.
It’s also nice to keep a one tooth problem a one tooth problem, meaning that if you lose one tooth, put back one tooth- don’t bring two other teeth into the mix unnecessarily. When only looking at replacing one tooth with an implant or getting bridge, in normal cases, the implant is only about 25% more. I also say that there are still cases that a traditional bridge is a better option, but with the advancement of implant technology and surgical techniques, they are becoming more rare.
