Dentures & Partial Dentures
Restorative Dentistry
Dentures That Fit Your Life, Today and Tomorrow
Dentures are an easy, cost effective way to replace a mouthful of missing teeth. They are composed of a durable acrylic resin and plastic that sits on the gums. They can be a permanent solution for missing teeth or a transitional solution for implant-supported restorations. Today’s dentures are custom-fit and personalized to the individual. They look and feel natural.
At Adam Fienman DDS, we craft high-quality, custom dentures that evolve with your needs. Whether you’re looking for a long-term solution or a transitional option while exploring dental implants in West Bloomfield, our practice offers the latest in denture technology, including cutting-edge digital dentures for a more precise, comfortable fit.
Moreover, many of our patients are choosing to secure their dentures in place with dental implants, as they feel more secure and stable. Many patients tell us they can smile and chew with confidence knowing their dentures are locked in place on implants.
Your Dentures Don’t Have to Be Forever, Denture Replacements Available
Many patients think once they receive their dentures, they’re set for life, but that’s a common myth. The reality is that changes in your jawbone, gums, and bite can affect how your denture fits over time. That’s why we recommend a yearly checkup for all denture wearers, even those without natural teeth. Routine exams allow us to:
- Screen for oral cancer
- Evaluate the fit of your dentures
- Discuss if it’s time for a replacement
Most dentures should be replaced every 5 years. If you’re experiencing discomfort, sore spots, or trouble chewing, it may be time for a new set.
Partial Dentures
When you are missing some teeth, a removable partial denture may be an option for you. Similar to a full denture, rather than just sitting on your gums, it obtains support by hugging some of your remaining teeth for support.
A traditional removable partial denture will have a metal base with clips that hug the teeth and can be adjusted. Newer styles of partials can be made more aesthetic with lighter weight flexible material and tooth- or gum-colored clips in place of the traditional metal ones.
Removable partial dentures can also be a permanent solution for some patients or a transitional solution on the way to implants.
Digital Dentures: A Smarter, Faster Fit
Today’s dentures are not only more natural-looking—they’re smarter, too. Digital dentures offer:
- A stronger, more durable design
- A natural appearance with less shrinkage and porosity
- Fewer adjustments and faster turnaround
- A secure digital record for easy replacement
With digital scanning becoming the new standard in our office, patients can expect improved comfort and a seamless experience from start to finish.
