Dentures are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, and they come in a variety of styles and materials. At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry in Lowell, MA, we offer options to meet your unique needs, whether you're replacing just one tooth or all of your teeth. The two most common types of dentures are complete dentures and partial dentures.
Complete dentures, also known as "plates," are made from durable acrylic material that can be custom-colored to match your gums and natural teeth. These full dentures can be held in place by suction alone, or we can secure them with small dental implants for added stability. Many of our patients prefer implant-supported dentures on the lower jaw for improved comfort and functionality, while suction-retained dentures on the upper jaw are often sufficient for many people.
Partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. Over the years, partial dentures have greatly improved. While traditional designs still use metal clasps, we now offer flexible dentures made from a high-quality polymer (plastic) material. These flexible dentures blend seamlessly with your gums and existing teeth, providing a more natural appearance and greater comfort.

Replacing missing teeth is essential for maintaining your oral health and preventing the shifting or drifting of your remaining teeth. When teeth are missing, particularly molars, the remaining teeth may suffer from increased wear, misalignment, and even bite issues. Additionally, missing teeth can significantly impact your ability to chew food effectively, which is crucial for proper digestion and obtaining essential nutrients.
At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand that restoring your smile goes beyond just improving your ability to chew; it’s about regaining your confidence and improving your overall well-being. Dr. Luz is committed to providing personalized care, ensuring that each denture fits comfortably and enhances your appearance. We prioritize your comfort throughout the process, and our goal is to help you enjoy a full, balanced diet while feeling confident in your smile.
