Dentures in Henderson, NV

Types of Dentures We Offer

Full conventional dentures

A complete set of upper or lower teeth on an acrylic base that rests on the gums. This is the most affordable way to replace a full arch, and modern materials look far more natural than the dentures of a generation ago. Because the jawbone slowly changes shape underneath, full dentures need periodic relines to stay snug.

Partial dentures

When you still have healthy natural teeth, a partial fills the gaps and keeps the remaining teeth from drifting. Removable partials clip onto neighboring teeth; a fixed partial (bridge) is cemented in place or anchored to implants.

Snap-on and implant-supported dentures

Two to four implants act as anchors that the denture snaps onto. The denture stays put when you eat, speak, and laugh, and the implants preserve the bone that a conventional denture lets shrink. For patients who have fought loose dentures for years, this is usually the answer.

Immediate dentures

If teeth need to be removed, an immediate denture is placed the same day as the extractions so you walk out with a full smile while you heal. It is refined or replaced once the gums settle.

Signs You May Need Dentures

• Several missing teeth that make chewing or speaking difficult
• Avoiding tougher foods like steak, apples, or nuts
• Loose or shifting teeth from advanced gum disease
• Frequent toothaches from teeth that keep breaking or decaying
• An old denture that slips, clicks, or causes sore spots

The Denture Process at Densley Dental

We begin with a consultation to understand how you eat, how you want to look, and what you have tried before. Then we take impressions and bite measurements, and our in-house technician builds a wax try-in so you can see the teeth in your mouth and approve the shape and shade. The final denture is fabricated here, delivered, and adjusted on the spot. Follow-up visits fine-tune any sore spots, and we show you how to clean and care for your new teeth.

Living With Dentures

Expect a short adjustment period for speaking and eating; start with soft foods cut small and work up. Remove and clean your dentures every night, brush your gums and tongue, and keep your regular checkups so we can catch fit changes early. A well-made, well-maintained denture should let you forget it is there.
