OUR TEAM

What Is a Partial Denture?

Arnett Dental Care front exterior view A partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth while allowing you to retain all of your healthy remaining teeth comfortably. The removable appliance uses plastic or metal clasps to anchor to healthy teeth, while replacing missing teeth with strategically placed prosthetic teeth.

A partial denture fills the gaps in your smile and blends seamlessly with your remaining teeth to achieve the aesthetics you want, while also restoring the chewing function you need.

What Is a Full Denture?

A complete denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. A traditional denture is removable and typically made of acrylic, designed to replace your teeth and complement your skin tone and facial structure.

The denture relies on support from and suction to your jawbone to stay in place, and it may need to be relined periodically with your Murray dentist to ensure a proper fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of denture is right for me?

Choosing the right denture is an important decision, and Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt are here to guide you through your options. While we'll provide expert recommendations based on your oral health and lifestyle, you'll always have the final say in what feels right for your smile and your life.

Understanding Dentures in Murray

Partial Dentures — These are ideal if you're missing a few teeth but also still have healthy natural teeth remaining. This appliance is removable and fills gaps while attaching to your existing teeth with discreet clasps, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting.
Complete Dentures — An acrylic appliance that replaces all teeth on your upper or lower arch (or both). These removable prosthetics rest on your gums and are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably while restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Implant-Supported Dentures — These offer enhanced stability by anchoring to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip, implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, providing superior comfort and chewing power while helping preserve your jawbone.

During your consultation at our Murray dental office, we'll discuss your specific needs, budget, lifestyle preferences, and long-term goals. We'll explain the benefits and considerations of each option, answer all your questions, and help you weigh the factors that matter most to you.

Ultimately, this is your smile and your decision. Our role is to ensure you have all the information you need to make a confident choice. Together, we'll find the denture solution that helps you look and feel your absolute best!

What Is an Implant-Supported Denture?

Our dentists can also use two to six dental implants to support a full or partial denture. This makes the denture a fixed appliance, which means you won’t remove it at night for cleaning during sleep.

A snap-in, or implant denture, provides excellent stability, so there’s never movement or slippage when you talk or eat. It also gives you the added benefit of keeping your jawbone healthy and stimulated, so you avoid the deterioration that occurs with a traditional removable denture. This means excellent longevity for your snap-in denture.
