Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking a challenge—and can take a toll on your confidence, too. If you’re searching for dentures nearby, Schultz Family Dental offers custom-crafted solutions designed to restore your smile, your comfort, and your quality of life.

Patients who have lost some or all of their natural teeth can often benefit from dentures. Not only can dentures improve your smile, they can also make speaking and eating easier and more comfortable. Dentures can be made to look like your natural teeth, so you can be confident in your smile!

Types of Dentures

There are two different types of dentures made to address different needs: partial dentures (meant to replace a few missing teeth), and complete dentures (meant to replace all of your natural teeth). Both partial dentures and complete dentures are removable appliances, meaning you are able to insert and remove them from your mouth. At Schultz Family Dental, we strive to provide patients with the most natural-looking replacement for any and all missing teeth, so you can regain chewing ability and feel confident in your appearance!

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are made of replacement teeth in either a metal or flexible acrylic frame. They’re an excellent option when you still have healthy natural teeth remaining and want to fill in the gaps without more invasive procedures. Sometimes, your remaining natural teeth need to be conservatively prepared so that the partial denture fits and functions properly. The partial denture can be inserted and removed as needed, to keep the appliance clean and your supporting tissue healthy.

Partial Dentures for Front Teeth: Missing front teeth can significantly impact your appearance and self-confidence. Partial dentures for front teeth are carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Dr. Schultz pays special attention to color matching, tooth shape, and positioning to ensure your partial dentures look completely natural when you smile, talk, or laugh.

Partial Dentures for Back Teeth: Missing molars and premolars affect your ability to chew properly and can cause your remaining teeth to shift over time. Partial dentures for back teeth restore full chewing function and help maintain proper tooth alignment. The sturdy framework provides the strength needed for comfortable, everyday eating.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are made of replacement teeth in an acrylic base. The base is made to match the color of your natural gums. This type of complete denture is made after all teeth have been removed and gums have healed. The base of the upper denture will cover the roof of the mouth. The lower denture rests on the gum and bone tissues of the lower arch.

Complete dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all of their teeth on the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Today’s complete dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before.

Implant-Supported Complete Dentures

Dentures can also be combined with dental implants for a more secure fit. Implants are posts that are surgically placed in the jaw, and can help to make the dentures more stable and reduce the loss of bone.

Benefits of implant-supported dentures include:

  • No slipping or clicking — Your dentures stay securely in place
  • No adhesives needed — Implants hold your dentures firmly
  • Better chewing power — Eat with more confidence and comfort
  • Preserved bone health — Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration
  • Improved taste — Upper dentures can be designed without covering the palate

If you’re frustrated with traditional dentures that slip or feel uncomfortable, ask Dr. Schultz about implant-supported options.

Immediate Dentures

In some situations, immediate dentures may be necessary. These types of dentures are made in a lab before any teeth are removed, and can be worn immediately after surgery, while a set of permanent dentures is being made. Immediate dentures allow patients to avoid going without teeth during healing. They usually require adjustments during the healing process, as your bone and gum levels may change, but are much more comfortable once the healing process is complete.

The Dentures Process: What to Expect


The dental implant procedure is a collaborative process that typically involves two phases: surgical placement and restoration. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation and Evaluation
    • Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam. Dr. Schultz will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best type of dentures for your situation—whether that’s partial dentures, complete dentures, or implant-supported options.
  • Impressions and Measurements
    • Precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit your unique anatomy. We’ll also determine the proper bite relationship and select tooth shades that complement your skin tone and facial features.
  • Try-In Appointment
    • Before your final dentures are completed, you’ll have the opportunity to “try in” a wax model. This allows you to see how your dentures will look and make any adjustments to tooth positioning or appearance.
  • Final Fitting
    • Once your custom dentures are ready, Dr. Schultz will ensure they fit comfortably and function properly. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your new dentures.

Why Choose Dentures?

Tooth loss is more common than you might think—and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or age, dentures offer a proven, affordable solution that can dramatically improve your daily life.

With modern dentures, you can:

  • Eat comfortably — Enjoy a wider variety of foods again
  • Speak clearly — Restore proper pronunciation and confidence in conversation
  • Smile confidently — Custom dentures are designed to look natural and complement your face
  • Support facial structure — Prevent the sunken appearance that can occur after tooth loss
  • Improve oral health — Properly fitted dentures protect remaining teeth and gum tissue

If you’ve been putting off getting dentures, we understand. Many patients feel anxious or uncertain about the process. At Schultz Family Dental, Dr. Schultz takes the time to answer your questions, address your concerns, and create dentures that fit comfortably and look beautiful.

Caring for Your Dentures

Dentures need to be cared for, just like  natural teeth. They should be cleaned every day to remove any bacteria or food particles. Liquid soap or denture cleaners with the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance are reliable choices for cleaning. When you’re not wearing your dentures (usually recommended overnight to let your tissues rest), you may clean and store them in a container we provide you.

Daily Denture Care Tips:

  • Rinse after eating — Remove and rinse your dentures after meals to wash away food particles
  • Brush daily — Use a soft-bristled brush designed for dentures (not regular toothpaste, which can be abrasive)
  • Clean your mouth — Brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth before reinserting your dentures
  • Handle with care — Place a towel in the sink when cleaning to prevent breakage if dropped
  • Clean your denture — Using an approved product, clean your dentures and store them (dry) in a container to protect them
  • Schedule regular checkups — Visit Schultz Family Dental for professional cleanings and to ensure proper fit

With proper care, your dentures can last 5–10 years or longer before needing replacement. While dental implants cost more initially, their durability, bone-preserving benefits, and natural feel make them the gold standard for tooth replacement.

FAQs

The denture process typically takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the type of dentures and whether extractions are needed. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extractions, while conventional dentures require healing time first.

Yes! Modern dentures are crafted to look remarkably natural. Dr. Schultz carefully selects tooth shapes, sizes, and colors that complement your facial features and skin tone. Most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing dentures.

With practice, most patients can eat a wide variety of foods with dentures. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and gradually reintroduce harder foods as you become more comfortable. Implant-supported dentures offer even greater chewing power.

With proper care, dentures typically last 5–10 years. However, your mouth changes over time, so dentures may need to be relined or replaced to maintain a proper fit. Regular checkups help us monitor the fit of your dentures.

Partial dentures for front teeth are designed to be as discreet as possible. We carefully match the color and shape of the replacement teeth to your natural teeth, and the framework to support these teeth is designed to be minimally visible.

We recommend removing your dentures at night to give your gum tissue time to rest and recover. Sleeping in dentures can increase the risk of gum irritation and oral infections.

Loose dentures are a common issue, especially as your jawbone and gums change over time. Visit Schultz Family Dental for an adjustment or reline. If traditional dentures continue to slip, implant-supported dentures may be a better solution.

When searching for dentures nearby, look for a dental practice that offers custom-crafted dentures, takes time for proper impressions (or scans) and fittings, and provides ongoing support for adjustments.
