What Are Dentures and Partials?

Customized Tooth Replacement Options That Restore Your Smile and Function

Dentures and partials are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth, improving both the function and appearance of your smile. At Fortson Dentistry, we craft full dentures for patients who are missing all their teeth and partial dentures for those missing only a few. Each appliance is custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Today’s dentures and partials are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever before. Made from advanced materials that mimic the look of natural teeth and gums, they help restore facial volume and prevent the sagging appearance that often accompanies tooth loss. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to aging, decay, or injury, we provide solutions that fit your lifestyle and needs.

Why Do I Need Dentures or Partials?

Replace Missing Teeth to Regain Comfort, Function, and Confidence

Tooth loss affects much more than your smile—it can lead to difficulty chewing, impaired speech, and jawbone loss over time. Without replacing missing teeth, your remaining teeth may shift, causing bite misalignment and additional dental complications. Dentures and partials restore your ability to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly while preserving the alignment of your remaining teeth.

Beyond function, dentures also restore your self-confidence. A complete smile allows you to engage socially without feeling self-conscious about gaps or missing teeth. Our Restorative Dentistry team works with you to design dentures that look natural and feel great—helping you smile without hesitation.

Dentures and Partials FAQs for Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup MI

What are dentures and how do they work?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics. At Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup MI, we offer both full dentures for patients missing all teeth and partial dentures for those missing several teeth. They help improve chewing, speech, and overall smile appearance.

What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?

  • Full Dentures – Replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and are custom-fitted for comfort and stability.
  • Partial Dentures – Designed for patients who still have some natural teeth. They consist of a gum-colored base with replacement teeth attached, held in place by clasps or precision attachments.

How long does it take to get dentures?

The process of getting dentures typically takes a few weeks and involves multiple visits to Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup MI. After taking impressions and measurements, we design and fit custom dentures for a natural look and comfortable feel.

Are dentures comfortable to wear?

Modern dentures are designed for a secure and comfortable fit, but it may take time to adjust. Our team at Fortson Dentistry ensures a precise fit and provides adjustments if needed. Over time, as your mouth changes, dentures may require relining or replacement for optimal comfort.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, but there is an adjustment period. Start with soft foods and gradually introduce tougher foods as you become accustomed to your dentures. Cutting food into smaller pieces and chewing evenly on both sides can also help.
