Full & Partial in Allentown, PA

Restore your smile with full or partial dentures—an effective, comfortable solution to replace missing teeth and renew your confidence.

Missing teeth affects millions of Americans, impacting everything from your ability to eat comfortably to your confidence in social situations. Whether you’ve lost several teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, dentures offer a time-tested solution that can restore both function and appearance to your smile.

At Kearns Family Dentistry, we understand that losing teeth can be emotionally challenging and physically uncomfortable. Our general dentistry team provides personalized denture solutions that help patients throughout Allentown regain their quality of life and confidence in their smiles.

What Are Your Denture Options?

Full dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. Both options are custom-crafted to match your facial structure, bite pattern, and aesthetic preferences.

Full dentures rest directly on your gums and are held in place through suction and denture adhesives. Modern complete dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before, with improved materials that resist staining and wear. The process typically requires several appointments to ensure proper fit and comfort.

Partial dentures use clasps or precision attachments to anchor to your remaining teeth. These removable appliances not only replace missing teeth but also prevent your existing teeth from shifting out of position. Dentures can benefit both your health and appearance by preventing your facial muscles from sagging and restoring eating and speaking function.

Emergency Appointments Available

When dental emergencies strike your family, we’re ready with immediate care and gentle treatment approaches.

The Denture Creation Process

Creating your custom dentures involves multiple appointments to ensure optimal fit and appearance. During your initial consultation, we examine your mouth, take impressions, and discuss your goals and expectations. We also address any remaining oral health issues that might affect denture success.

Initial Measurements and Design

We take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth to create models for your dentures. These models serve as the foundation for crafting dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. We also determine the proper bite relationship and select tooth shapes and colors that complement your features.

Try-In and Adjustments

Before finalizing your dentures, we schedule a try-in appointment where you can see how your new teeth will look and feel. This appointment allows us to make any necessary adjustments to the fit, appearance, or bite before completing the final dentures. Your feedback during this stage ensures you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Final Fitting and Follow-Up Care

Once your dentures are complete, we schedule a fitting appointment to place them and provide detailed care instructions. We also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your adjustment and make any needed modifications. Most patients require a brief adjustment period as they adapt to speaking and eating with their new dentures.

What You Should Know About Denture Care and Maintenance

Proper denture care extends their lifespan and maintains your oral health. Remove and rinse your dentures after eating to prevent food particles from causing irritation or bad breath. Clean them daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser, avoiding regular toothpaste which can be too abrasive.

Store your dentures in water or denture solution when not wearing them to prevent warping. Continue caring for your gums and any remaining teeth with gentle brushing and regular dental visits. Even with dentures, routine checkups remain important for monitoring your oral health and ensuring proper denture fit.

Regular denture maintenance includes periodic adjustments and relining to accommodate changes in your mouth shape over time. With proper care and maintenance, quality dentures can provide years of comfortable function and an attractive smile.

Are There Alternatives to Traditional Dentures?

While traditional dentures work well for many patients, we also offer alternative solutions that might better suit your needs. Dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth when you have healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

Dental implants provide the most stable and long-lasting tooth replacement option. Implant-supported dentures combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants, eliminating concerns about slipping or adhesives.

During your consultation, we discuss all available options and help you choose the solution that best fits your oral health needs, lifestyle, and budget. Our goal is to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment for your individual situation.
