Dentures

Restore Your Smile and Confidence
Missing several or all of your teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. At Catawba River Dentistry, we offer custom dentures designed to restore both the appearance and function of your smile. Modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and secure than ever
before, helping patients regain confidence in their everyday lives.
Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are carefully designed to fit comfortably while restoring the shape and support of your face. Whether you are missing multiple teeth or require a full arch replacement, dentures provide a reliable solution for rebuilding your smile.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. They rest comfortably on the gums and are
custom-crafted to match the natural appearance of your smile.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have several healthy natural teeth remaining. These
dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth and attach securely to existing teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients seeking greater stability, implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option provides improved comfort, chewing ability, and security compared to traditional dentures.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can provide several important advantages, including:
- Restoring the ability to chew and eat comfortably
- Improving speech clarity
- Supporting facial muscles and preventing a sunken appearance
- Enhancing confidence and smile aesthetics
- Providing a cost-effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth
At Catawba River Dentistry, we take time to ensure every denture is carefully fitted and customized to provide the best possible comfort and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How long do dentures last?
Most dentures last between 5–10 years with proper care. Over time, your gums and jawbone can change shape, which may require adjustments or replacement to maintain a proper fit.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed for improved comfort and fit. While there may be a short adjustment period, most patients quickly adapt and enjoy restored function.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes. While it may take some time to adjust, dentures allow you to eat most foods again. Softer foods are recommended at first, gradually returning to a normal diet.
What’s the difference between dentures and implants?
Dentures are removable appliances, while dental implants are permanently placed in the jawbone.
Implant-supported dentures offer increased stability and function.
Do dentures look natural?
Yes. Today’s dentures are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of natural teeth, providing a realistic and natural-looking smile.
