Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

Tooth loss does more than change how your smile looks. Without teeth supporting the structure of your face, the jawbone begins to shrink and the surrounding facial muscles can sag — causing a prematurely aged appearance. Missing teeth also make chewing difficult, affect speech clarity, and allow remaining teeth to shift out of alignment over time.

Dentures address all of these concerns, restoring function and appearance while protecting your long-term oral health. Patients who prefer a fixed, non-removable solution may also want to explore dental implants or a dental bridge as alternatives.

Denture Options at Our Philadelphia, PA Office

Full Dentures

If you've lost all of your natural teeth due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury, complete dentures replace your entire upper or lower arch — or both. Custom-crafted to fit your mouth and match your facial proportions, full dentures restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

Removable Partial Dentures

When you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture fills the gaps by fitting snugly between your existing teeth. In addition to restoring your smile's appearance, partials prevent your remaining teeth from shifting toward the gap over time — protecting your bite alignment and oral health. For patients missing one or a few consecutive teeth, a dental bridge may also be worth comparing.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients who want the stability of implants with the coverage of a denture, implant-supported dentures snap securely onto implant posts embedded in the jawbone — eliminating the slipping, soreness, and adhesive dependence of traditional dentures. Available in both fixed and removable versions. Learn more about dental implants →

Implant-Retained Dentures — A Closer Look

Implant-retained dentures feature the same gum-colored acrylic base and natural-looking artificial teeth as traditional dentures — made from porcelain, ceramic, or resin to mimic the appearance of natural enamel. The critical difference is stability.

During your procedure at our Philadelphia dental office, four to eight dental implants are surgically placed below the gumline, providing a strong, permanent foundation that doesn't rely on suction or adhesive. The result is a denture that stays firmly in place while eating and speaking, preserves jawbone health over time, and feels far more natural than a conventional removable denture.

The Denture Process at Center City Dental

Getting custom dentures at our Rittenhouse Square office takes several appointments over a few weeks:

Consultation & exam — we evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and remaining teeth to recommend the best solution
Impressions & measurements — highly accurate impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication
Try-in appointments — one or more fittings to evaluate shape, color, and fit before finalizing
Final placement — your completed denture is precisely adjusted and placed for a natural, comfortable fit

Some soreness, increased saliva, and minor speech or chewing difficulty in the first few weeks is completely normal — these resolve as your muscles and tissues adapt. Proper daily cleaning, good oral hygiene, and regular dental checkups will help your dentures last as long as possible.

Dentures FAQ

What are dentures made of?

Dentures can be made from a couple different materials depending on the type of denture. Dentures are commonly made from the following 3 materials. Acrylic: Acrylic is a stiff resin material. For dentures, it is typically pink at the base and gum area, and a more natural tooth color for the replacement teeth. Metal: Metal is often used for the base of your dentures and typically contains cobalt or chrome. Plastic: Flexible partial dentures can be made from a flexible plastic that fits tightly into your mouth called thermoplast.

How do you clean dentures?

Your dentures need regular care to help ensure they don’t have food particles or bacteria on them. When they do, that increases your risk of decay and gum disease of any remaining teeth. You can clean your partial or complete dentures with a denture brush , denture paste and a cleaner made for dentures. They can be stored in a denture bath while they are not being used. Don’t use anything abrasive like toothpastes on your dentures, though, or you could damage them.

How long do dentures last?

Dentures are meant to last years with proper routine checks of supporting gums and teeth, relines and minor adjustments.
