Traditional dentures consist of a removable plate or frame that holds replacement teeth after natural teeth have been lost. However, this is not the only type of denture. Permanent dentures, sometimes called implant dentures, are also available.

Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable prosthetic appliances designed to replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch—or both. These dentures rest on top of the gums and are custom-formed to the shape of your mouth using impressions.
They are a reliable, cost-effective solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and are not ready for dental implants. Traditional full dentures rely on suction or denture adhesive to stay in place and can be easily removed for cleaning and sleeping.
While they may require an adjustment period, today’s traditional dentures are far more comfortable and lifelike than those of the past. They are made from lightweight, durable materials that offer improved fit and esthetics.
Custom Dentures
Custom dentures are a premium option for patients seeking the most natural-looking and personalized result. Unlike economy dentures that come in standard shapes and shades, custom dentures are crafted with enhanced attention to detail.
During the design process, we work closely with you to select your preferred tooth shape, shade, and even gum color. Some patients opt for added textures or translucency in the gums to create a more lifelike appearance.
These dentures are made using higher-grade acrylics and layered composite materials that mimic the natural luster of real teeth. Because they’re tailored to your individual anatomy and facial features, custom dentures often offer a better fit, improved comfort, and enhanced facial support.
For patients who want their smile to feel just as natural as it looks, custom dentures are an excellent investment.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are secured to your jaw bone through the use of dental implants and provide more stability and better functionality. Implant dentures are considered to be a permanent solution for missing teeth.

The Benefits of Dentures
Fully Functioning Teeth | Having fully functioning teeth allows you to eat your favorite foods again.
Youthful Appearance | Without teeth, your face can take on a sunken-in appearance. A set of dentures can give your cheeks shape and definition, making you look years younger.
Improved Self-Esteem | Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious and insecure, unable to smile with confidence. Dentures allow you to have a full set of teeth for a more confident smile and improved self-esteem.
Before & After
See real transformations from our patients. Here’s Bruce, a denture patient:
“
I woke up one morning and discovered that the dentures I had for years had, well, collapsed. Panic ensued, but, thank goodness, my son sent me to Dr. Endres. She and her staff were so welcoming, friendly and professional. And now I’m the happy wearer of beautiful new dentures that fit comfortably and look beautiful. I cannot thank Dr. Endres and staff enough!

Process of Getting Dentures
Individualized Treatment Plan | The first step in obtaining dentures is a thorough examination and diagnosis. If dentures are right for you, we will create an individualized treatment plan. X-rays may be needed.
Create a Mold | We will create a mold of your gums using dental putty. This mold is sent to a dental laboratory to create the plate, or frame, for the denture.
Fitting | Once your denture has been created, we will make sure the fit is correct and comfortable. Follow-up appointments may be needed to ensure the health of your gums and fine-tune any denture issues.
Improve Fit with Facial Esthetics | Sometimes dentures can feel unnatural and it may be difficult to adjust. With facial esthetic treatments, Dr. Endres can help make the fit more comfortable for your dentures.
