What Are Dentures and Partials?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They consist of an acrylic resin base that mimics the appearance of natural gum tissue, with artificial teeth made from durable porcelain or composite materials.
There are two main types:
- Full Dentures: Replaces all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Full dentures rest directly on the gums and are customized for comfort, stability, and natural appearance.
- Partial Dentures: Designed for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. Partials fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are typically secured with precision clasps or attachments.
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, approximately 36 million Americans are fully edentulous (missing all teeth), and 120 million are missing at least one tooth–underscoring the vital need for effective tooth replacement solutions.
Benefits of Choosing Dentures and Partials
Restoring missing teeth with dentures or partials offers several significant benefits:
Improved Chewing Ability
Enables you to enjoy a wider range of foods and maintain better nutrition
Enhanced Speech
Restores the ability to speak clearly and confidently
Facial Support

Research in the Journal of Prosthodontic Research shows that properly fitted dentures improve patients’ oral health-related quality of life, particularly regarding diet, comfort, and self-esteem.
What to Expect When Getting Dentures or Partials
At Silver Creek Family Dentistry, your denture journey is a fully customized, supportive experience:
Consultation and Impressions
We carefully assess your oral health, take detailed digital impressions, and discuss your goals for your new smile using prosthetic teeth.
Fabrication
Your custom denture or partial is uniquely crafted using advanced techniques and top quality products for precision fit and natural esthetics.
Fitting and Adjustments
We ensure your prosthetic fits securely, functions properly, and looks beautiful. Minor adjustments may be made to optimize comfort during the adaptation phase.
Prosthetic Adaptation
Our Butte team provides guidance and tips to help you adjust quickly to wearing your new denture or partial comfortably.
Over time, small changes in your gums and bone structure may require relining or replacing your dentures to maintain a perfect fit.
Caring for Your Dentures and Partials
Proper maintenance is key to protecting your investment:
- Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser
- Soak removable prosthetics overnight in a dentist-approved solution
- Handle with care to avoid drops and fractures
- Attend regular dental checkups for evaluation of fit and oral health
As the American Dental Association (ADA) emphasizes, “Even if you wear full dentures, it’s important to visit your dentist regularly to ensure proper fit and monitor oral tissues for changes.”
Considering Implant-Supported Dentures?
For patients seeking enhanced security and chewing function, we also offer implant-supported dentures. These prosthetics are anchored to dental implants, providing greater stability and comfort than traditional removable dentures. Ask our Butte team if you are a candidate for this life-changing solution.
