Full Dentures
Replace a complete upper or lower arch of missing teeth with a custom-fit appliance.

Implant-Supported
Anchor your denture to dental implants for a secure, snap-in fit that won’t slip.
Is a Denture Right for You?
When Dentures Make Sense
Dentures are a versatile, time-tested way to restore a smile affected by tooth loss. They may be the right choice if you are:
- Missing most or all of the teeth in an arch
- Wearing an older denture that no longer fits comfortably
- Looking for an affordable way to restore your smile
- Wanting a removable alternative to dental implants
Aftercare
Caring for Your Dentures
Caring for your dentures keeps them comfortable and long-lasting. Rinse them after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleaner, and soak them overnight so they stay moist. Always handle them over a folded towel or a sink of water to prevent damage if they slip.
Keep up with your regular checkups so we can review the fit and the health of your gums. Over time, dentures may need relining or minor adjustments as your mouth naturally changes—small tune-ups that keep them feeling secure.

Dentures FAQ
- How long does it take to get dentures?
- The complete denture process typically requires 4 to 6 appointments over several weeks. This includes preliminary impressions, bite registration, wax try-in for fit and aesthetics, and final delivery with adjustments. Atlanta Dental Center schedules each step to ensure precise fit and natural appearance.
- Will dentures change how I eat and speak?
- There is an adjustment period of 2 to 4 weeks during which eating and speaking may feel different. Most patients adapt within a month by starting with soft foods and gradually reintroducing firmer textures. Reading aloud helps the tongue adjust to the presence of the denture.
- What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
- Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and rest on the gum ridge. Partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain, using clasps or precision attachments to anchor to adjacent teeth for stability.
- Are dentures comfortable?
- Modern dentures are custom-fitted to the contours of each patient’s mouth and jaw. Initial soreness during the first 1 to 2 weeks is normal as the oral tissues adjust. Atlanta Dental Center schedules follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments for comfort.
- How do I care for my dentures?
- Dentures should be removed and brushed daily with a denture-specific brush and cleanser, then soaked overnight in water or denture solution to maintain their shape. The gums and any remaining natural teeth should also be cleaned daily.
- Can dentures look natural?
- Yes. Modern denture teeth are made from high-quality acrylic or composite materials that replicate the size, shape, and translucency of natural teeth. The gum-colored base is customized to match the patient’s natural tissue tone, creating a realistic appearance.
- Can I make my existing dentures more stable?
- Yes. Existing dentures can often be retrofitted to snap onto 2 to 4 dental implants, creating an implant-supported overdenture with significantly improved stability. Atlanta Dental Center evaluates whether the current denture is suitable for retrofit or whether a new implant-supported denture is the better option.
- How long do dentures last?
- A well-made denture typically lasts 5 to 8 years before it needs replacement. Over time, the jawbone remodels after tooth loss, causing the denture fit to change. Atlanta Dental Center recommends annual checkups to assess fit and reline the denture as needed.
