Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters
When gaps are left open, remaining teeth can shift, leading to bite problems and an increased risk of periodontal disease. Dentures and partials fill these gaps, support your facial muscles, and keep your remaining teeth from drifting. If you are weighing your options, our guide to missing teeth compares dentures with dental implants and bridges.
Removable Partial Dentures
Our partials are crafted from high-quality materials and can be attached with traditional metal clasps or nearly invisible precision attachments. During your consultation, we help you choose the best balance of aesthetics, comfort, and stability for your lifestyle.
Valplast® and Thermoflex Flexible Partials
For superior comfort and aesthetics, we offer Valplast® flexible partials made from a biocompatible nylon resin. They are ultra-thin, have no heavy metal clasps, and blend with your natural gum tissue. In some cases, we use Valplast® with metal rest seats, combining the flexibility of a non-metal partial with the strength of a cast-metal frame for stable chewing.
Immediate Dentures: Never Be Without Your Smile
An immediate denture is inserted the same day your remaining teeth are extracted, so you never spend time without teeth. It acts as a bandage that helps minimize swelling and protect the extraction sites. About three months later, after healing, we perform a permanent reline or create a final denture for a long-term fit.
Denture Relines and Maintenance
Gum tissues change over time, but dentures do not. If your dentures feel loose or chewing has become difficult, a professional reline can restore a secure fit. Most dentures should be relined or remade every 3 to 5 years. For maximum stability, ask about securing your denture with mini dental implants.
Expert Tips for New Denture Wearers
Start with soft foods and chew slowly on both sides to stabilize your denture. Minor sore spots are normal as your gums adjust; if they persist, keep wearing the denture and call us for a precise adjustment. Clean your dentures morning and night, avoid commercial cleaners with soft liners, remove them at night, and always store them in water.
See How Flexible Partials Work

Dentures and Partials FAQs
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients adjust within a few weeks. Lower dentures often take a bit longer as the tongue and cheek muscles learn to hold them in place.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Both restore function for missing teeth.
What are Valplast flexible partials?
Valplast® partials are made from a thin, flexible, biocompatible nylon resin with no metal clasps, so they blend naturally with your gums and feel comfortable.
What is an immediate denture?
An immediate denture is placed the same day your remaining teeth are extracted, so you are never without teeth while your gums heal.
How often do dentures need to be relined?
Because gum tissue changes over time, most dentures should be relined or remade every 3 to 5 years to maintain a secure fit.
Can dentures be secured with implants?
Yes. Mini dental implants can lock dentures firmly in place, eliminating slipping and messy adhesives.
How should I clean my dentures?
Clean them morning and night with a denture brush and cleaner, remove them at night, and store them in water to prevent warping.
