Complete dentures are a tooth replacement solution designed for patients who are missing all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. At Tilley Family Dentistry, complete dentures are custom-crafted to restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably while supporting facial structure and confidence.
Our goal is to provide dentures that fit well, feel natural, and improve quality of life.
Complete dentures may be recommended when natural teeth are no longer healthy enough to function properly or have already been lost. Tooth loss can occur due to decay, gum disease, trauma, or long-term dental issues.
You may benefit from complete dentures if you:
Are missing all teeth in one or both arches
Have difficulty chewing certain foods
Feel self-conscious about your smile
Want a reliable, affordable tooth replacement option
Need a solution that restores daily comfort and function
Complete dentures are not one-size-fits-all. We take detailed measurements and impressions to ensure your dentures are designed for proper fit, comfort, and appearance.
Custom dentures help:
Creating complete dentures involves multiple steps to ensure proper fit and long-term success. Our team will guide you through each phase with clear communication and compassionate care.
The process typically includes:
Comprehensive exam and treatment planning
Impressions and bite measurements
Try-in appointments to evaluate fit and appearance
Final placement and adjustments
Routine dental visits are still important after receiving dentures. Regular checkups allow us to evaluate fit, monitor oral health, and make adjustments as needed.
