Reliable, Affordable Solutions for Restoring Your Smile
Our dedicated team—including Dr. Michelle Saunders, Dr. Justin Anderson, Dr. Lesley R. Nellor, and Dr. Daniel Davis—takes a patient-first approach to helping individuals of all ages regain confidence after tooth loss with natural-looking, well-fitted dentures.
What Are Full & Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. Depending on how many teeth are missing, we may recommend either:
- Full Dentures (Complete Dentures): Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and are typically made from acrylic for a natural look and comfortable fit.
- Partial Dentures: Replace several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. These are held in place by clasps that attach to existing teeth, preserving alignment and preventing shifting.
Whether you need a full set or just a few replacements, we design each denture to match your unique oral anatomy and facial structure.
Benefits of Choosing Dentures
Modern full and partial dentures are more comfortable and realistic than ever. At Jayhawk Dental, patients choose dentures to:
- Restore function for chewing and speaking
- Improve facial appearance and lip support
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Offer a cost-effective solution for missing teeth
- Boost confidence and quality of life
We also offer implant-supported dentures and digital dentures for patients seeking a more secure or technologically advanced option.
What to Expect During the Denture Process
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
We evaluate your oral health, review your goals, and determine whether a full or partial denture is best for your needs.
2. Impressions & Measurements
Using traditional or digital impressions, we take precise measurements to ensure a snug and accurate fit.
3. Try-In & Adjustments
A wax model may be used for a trial fitting, allowing us to adjust for comfort, alignment, and appearance before finalizing.
4. Final Denture Placement
Your custom denture is fitted and adjusted. We’ll review how to care for it, and schedule follow-ups to ensure ongoing comfort.
In certain cases, we may also coordinate tooth extractions before the denture is delivered.
Who’s a Candidate for Dentures?
You may benefit from full or partial dentures if you:
- Are missing all or some of your teeth
- Want a removable or non-surgical tooth replacement
- Are not a candidate for dental implants
- Want to restore your smile quickly and affordably
- Are interested in trying snap-on smiles or temporary cosmetic options
Our team will help guide you through every option and ensure your denture supports both your oral health and lifestyle.

How long do dentures last?
Most dentures last 5 to 7 years before needing replacement or relining due to changes in the mouth over time.
Are dentures uncomfortable?
Today’s dentures are lightweight and designed for comfort. Some adjustment is normal at first, but with proper fit and minor refinements, they can feel very natural.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes! After a short adjustment period, most patients are able to enjoy a full range of foods. We’ll offer tips for getting used to chewing and speaking with your new denture.
How do I clean my dentures?
Remove and clean dentures daily with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Soaking overnight keeps them moist and helps prevent warping.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans include partial coverage for dentures. Our front office team will help verify your benefits and assist with financing options if needed.
