Dentures in our practice are still a very valid treatment. Traditionally, dentures have been looked down upon because when you have dentures, you have no teeth. You can live without your teeth, but it’s not healthy.
People can’t smile. So dentures help bridge that gap. And aesthetically, dentures look great.
Functionally, that’s been their problem. Dentures are artificial, and they’re not anchored to anything because there’s no remaining teeth. So one way that we bridge that gap now with modern dentistry is we use dental implants, which are titanium supports in your bone, and we can attach the dentures to the implants.
And now the function of the dentures, which traditionally is 90% less effective chewing than natural teeth, can go anywhere, depending on how many implants and the situation, from 60 to 90% of functional teeth.

Receive Customized New Teeth That Are Right For You
Each smile holds its own distinct charm. At Kennedy Dental, we believe in tailoring your dentures to match that uniqueness. Our skilled dentists meticulously design your personalized set of teeth to ensure a seamless fit and a beautiful, youthful appearance when you smile.
With our cutting-edge technology like digital X-rays and advanced scanning equipment, we meticulously capture impressions and digital images of your oral structure. This will serve as the blueprint for crafting your new teeth, ensuring they align perfectly with your smile.
We’ll help you choose the denture option that’s right for you:
- Full Dentures – These traditional sets of replacement teeth offer complete coverage for either the upper or lower arch, adhering securely with denture adhesive. They are easily removable for routine cleaning and upkeep.
- Partial Dentures – If you still retain some natural teeth, a removable partial denture can effectively bridge the gaps. This option is often more cost-effective compared to alternative tooth replacement methods.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – By utilizing a series of snaps and balls affixed to dental implants, we ensure your set of teeth remains firmly stabilized. Despite their secure attachment, these dentures are conveniently removable for daily cleaning.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – Among our most comfortable options, these dentures are anchored to a robust metal bar connected to dental implants. Their fixed positioning means simple oral hygiene, and we can handle their removal should they require advanced maintenance.
- Temporary Dentures –While your custom dentures are in the fabrication process, temporary teeth ensure you’re never without a smile.
If you struggle with dental anxiety, we can provide soothing amenities like pillows, blankets, and leg bolsters to help you feel cozy. You can also relax with your choice of inhaled or oral conscious sedation for a deeper state of relaxation.

Dentures can replace either a few missing teeth or all your teeth, depending on your situation. We offer dentures in several styles to accommodate just about every patient. You can get partial or full conventional dentures that remove easily for cleaning, or you can stabilize your dentures with a set of dental implants for superior comfort and performance.
In general, most patients can expect their new dentures to be made in about one to two weeks. Some cases may take a little longer, and some a little shorter. You will then try them on to make sure they fit, and we’ll make any needed adjustments if they don’t. We can provide you with temporary dentures to wear while your final restorations are being made. That way, you don’t ever have to be without your teeth again.
Thanks to advances in dental technology, you can enjoy nearly any food you desire without dietary limitations. While conventional dentures may require you to alter your eating habits, implant-supported dentures provide a more natural biting function. With this option, you can eat a wide variety of crunchy or chewy foods, since implant-supported dentures offer a bite strength comparable to having a full set of natural teeth.
