Finding the Right Dentures for You at Atwood Advanced Dentistry

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you know how much it can affect everyday life. Eating favorites like steak or apples becomes tricky, speaking clearly can be frustrating, and smiling with confidence might not come as easily as before. Dentures can change that. They help you speak naturally, eat comfortably again, and feel proud of your smile.

At Atwood Advanced Dentistry, restoring smiles is what we love to do. We offer a variety of denture styles and materials because everyone’s mouth, goals, and lifestyle are different. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Jake Atwood pays close attention to how your dentures look and how they feel, crafting solutions that are secure, natural-looking, and customized just for you.

Let’s explore your options, so you can start envisioning what’s possible.

Types of Dentures

Complete (Full) Dentures

If you’re missing all your teeth in the top or bottom arch, full dentures can restore your entire smile. Today’s dentures are more natural, comfortable, and realistic than ever. Dr. Atwood carefully designs each set to support your lips and cheeks, enhance your facial features, and look like a healthy, natural smile.

A good option for:

• Complete tooth loss

• Patients looking for an affordable full-arch replacement

Partial Dentures

If you still have healthy, natural teeth, partial dentures fill in the gaps. They work with the teeth you already have, helping you chew, speak, and smile comfortably. You can choose removable partials or those supported by dental implants for extra stability.

A good option for:

• People missing several teeth, but not all

• Patients who want to keep their healthy remaining teeth

Implant-Supported Dentures

These dentures attach to titanium implants that act like artificial tooth roots in your jaw. Because they’re anchored securely, they won’t move or slip like traditional dentures. You can choose removable snap-in options or a fully fixed set that stays in place permanently.

Why patients love them:

• No slipping, rubbing, or clicking

• Better chewing power (yes—eat the foods you’ve been missing!)

• Helps maintain jawbone health

• The most natural feel overall

Denture Material Options

Just like people, dentures are not one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer material choices to match your needs, comfort, and smile goals.

Acrylic Dentures

• Lightweight, affordable, and popular for full dentures

• Can be made to look very realistic
  Great for: full dentures and patients looking for a cost-friendly option

Flexible Partial Dentures

• Made from a soft, gum-colored resin

• No noticeable metal clasps

Metal-Framework Partial Dentures

• Strong, thin, and designed for long-term use

• Offers a very secure fit

• Extremely strong and beautifully realistic
  Great for: those who want the most natural-looking, high-end smile

Finding the Best Fit for You

Your smile is personal, and your treatment should be too! At your consultation, Dr. Atwood will evaluate your jawbone health, bite, remaining teeth, lifestyle, and what you want your smile to look and feel like. His specialty in prosthodontics means he doesn’t just replace missing teeth; he rebuilds confidence, comfort, and function.
