A Better Approach to Modern Dentures
Designed to Fit You — Not the Other Way Around
Many people worry that dentures will feel bulky or look artificial. Others have had older dentures that slipped or caused irritation. Today’s technology and materials make it possible to create dentures that feel more natural, stable, and comfortable than ever before.
At Cornerstone Dentistry, we take a patient-first approach. That means every decision—shape, shade, fit, and bite is tailored to you. During your exam, Dr. Hardy evaluates your bite, gum health, bone support, and facial proportions to design dentures that enhance your natural appearance while restoring function. The result is a balanced, natural smile that supports confident eating and social interaction.
We also discuss your priorities, such as stability, affordability, and aesthetics, so we can guide you toward the denture type that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
The Types Of Dentures We Can Help You Deal With
Who Can Benefit From Dentures?
A Reliable Option for Missing Teeth, Speaking Issues, or Chewing Difficulties
Dentures are a great solution for adults who want an affordable, effective, and non-surgical way to restore their smiles. Whether you are missing several teeth or all teeth in one or both arches, dentures can help you regain comfort and confidence.
You may be a good candidate for dentures if you:
- Have multiple missing teeth
- Experience difficulty chewing or speaking
- Feel self-conscious about your smile
- Want a replacement option without implant surgery
- Need a more budget-friendly solution for tooth replacement
- Have older dentures that no longer fit well
As part of your consultation, our dentists will examine your oral health and discuss which denture option will offer the most comfortable and stable result.
Your Denture Options at Cornerstone Dentistry
Tailored Tooth Replacement for Every Patient
We offer several types of dentures, each designed to support different needs, budgets, and lifestyles. During your visit, we will walk you through the pros and cons of each option so you can make a confident decision.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Designed with high-quality materials and carefully customized tooth shapes, full dentures restore your smile’s natural fullness and help support facial structure.
They are ideal for patients who have lost all teeth or need a complete restorative solution after extractions.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. These appliances fill gaps while preserving healthy teeth, offering stability and functionality. Partials are crafted to blend with the color and shape of your existing teeth, making them a discreet and comfortable option.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you want maximum stability, implant-supported dentures may be the best option. These dentures attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone, creating a secure foundation that prevents slipping, shifting, or clicking.
Benefits include:
- Improved chewing strength
- A more natural feel
- Excellent long-term stability
- No adhesives required
For patients seeking the most secure and lifelike denture solution, this option often provides the best long-term satisfaction.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed the same day your remaining teeth are removed. This allows you to leave the office with a complete smile while your gums heal. Adjustments are made over time to ensure a proper long-term fit.
Immediate dentures are ideal for patients who do not want to go without teeth during the healing period.
