Whether you require a full set of dentures to replace all your teeth or a partial denture to fill in gaps, these removable dental prosthetics offer a practical and accessible option for patients of all ages.
Types of Dentures
The Henderson Dentist offers various types of dentures to cater to individual needs:
1. Immediate Dentures: These dentures are crafted prior to tooth extraction, allowing you to wear them immediately after the extraction. Multiple fittings may be required as your jaw and gums heal and change shape.
2. Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are created after your gums and jaw have fully healed following tooth extraction.
3. Overdentures: Overdentures resemble conventional dentures but are secured in your mouth by attaching to titanium dental implants placed in your jawbone.
4. Fixed Dentures (All on 4): All on 4 is a replacement option that closely resembles a dental bridge. It is securely anchored in your mouth by screwing into titanium dental implants. These dentures cannot be removed except by Dr. Wilson and provide a natural teeth-like experience.
5. Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are utilized when only some of your teeth need to be replaced. Similar to a bridge, they fit in with your remaining teeth but are removable.
The Henderson Dentist offers a comprehensive range of denture options to help you restore your smile and improve your oral health. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and explore the most suitable denture solution for your unique needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
At The Henderson Dentist, we offer several denture options to fit your needs, comfort, and budget — whether you’re replacing a few teeth or your entire smile.
-
Traditional Dentures: These are removable and rest on your gums. They’re a cost-effective option and can be made to look very natural, but they may move slightly while eating or speaking.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures: These snap securely onto a few dental implants for a stable, no-slip fit. They’re a great option if you want dentures that stay in place but can still be removed for cleaning.
-
All-on-X or Fixed Implant Dentures: These are full-arch restorations that attach permanently to implants — meaning you never have to take them out. They feel and function almost exactly like natural teeth.
Dr. Wilson will help you decide which option is best based on your bone health, lifestyle, and goals. No matter which type you choose, we’ll make sure your dentures fit comfortably, look beautiful, and restore your confidence when you smile.
Traditional dentures rest on top of your gums and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. While they’re an affordable way to replace missing teeth, they can sometimes shift or feel less stable when eating or speaking.
All-on-X implants, on the other hand, use a small number of dental implants (usually 4–6 per arch) to permanently anchor a full set of teeth. They don’t come out, don’t move, and feel incredibly natural — allowing you to eat, smile, and speak with total confidence.
Dr. Wilson uses 3D imaging and digitally guided surgery to plan each case precisely, giving you a secure, long-lasting, and beautiful result that truly feels like your own teeth.
Yes, absolutely! If you already have dentures, we can often retrofit or replace them to attach securely to dental implants. Implant-supported dentures “snap” into place, giving you a snug, comfortable fit that won’t shift while you talk or eat.
This upgrade can make a huge difference in comfort, stability, and confidence. Dr. Wilson will evaluate your bone health and discuss whether implant-supported or All-on-X options are the best fit for you.
Caring for implant-supported dentures is simple! You’ll still want to brush twice a day to keep your gums and implants healthy, and gently clean around the attachments with a soft toothbrush or water flosser. If your dentures are removable, take them out daily to clean both the denture and your gums.
If you have a fixed (All-on-X) style restoration, you’ll clean it much like natural teeth. Regular dental visits are important so we can check the implants and keep everything in top shape. With good care, your implant-supported dentures can last for many years and continue to look and feel amazing.
The timeline depends on your unique needs, but most patients can go from consultation to new smile in just a few months. In some cases, we can even place implants and attach a temporary set of teeth the same day—so you never go without a smile!
We start with a 3D scan and digital plan to make sure everything is precise and customized just for you. Healing typically takes a few months as the implants fuse securely with the bone, and then we place your final, beautiful new teeth. Dr. Wilson will walk you through every step and keep you comfortable the whole way.
