Affordable Dentures in Utah County

A denture replaces multiple missing teeth. Dentures can be fixed or removable, partial or full, and implant supported or not. Fixed dentures require implants, while removable dentures may or may not rely on implants for attachment.

Full Dentures in Utah | Traditional Dentures for the Edentulous Patient (Missing All Teeth in Either the Upper or Lower Arch)

Traditional dentures are removable, and do not use implants. Traditional dentures include an acrylic base that is custom-made in the dental laboratory to mimic the appearance of natural gums. This base sits over the gums to hold the denture in place. A complete (full) denture is made after all the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. Denture paste or adhesive is often to used to assist in holding the denture in place. Removable full dentures should be cleaned when not being worn.

Partial Dentures in Utah | Traditional Dentures for the Patient Missing Multiple Teeth in One Arch

A traditional partial denture is a removable solution for replacing many teeth in one arch when there are still some natural teeth present. In this case, the acrylic base will also contain metal attachments that wrap around the existing teeth for added support. Partial dentures can also be attached to crowns on either side of the denture. 

Implant Supported Dentures in American Fork, Utah

Implants can be used to anchor dentures in place, allowing for a smaller base and less shifting of the prosthesis during use. Implants are titanium posts that can support both full and partial dentures as well as both fixed and removable dentures.
