Dentures & Partials

Dentures provide a great solution for the replacement of a full arch of missing teeth, which can make chewing and speaking extremely difficult. They can improve your quality of life by restoring confidence, function and strength to your smile. Smile Dental of Lakewood designs dentures that look extremely natural and fit comfortably and securely in your mouth.

Dr. Yang also places all types of dental implants including implant supported dentures and All On Four. He works with you on an individual basis to determine the most suitable solution for your needs and give you back a natural looking smile.

Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all upper or lower teeth and can be fixed or removable. Fixed dentures are secured by dental implants and have very little chance of slippage. With the All On Four procedure, as few as four dental implants may be needed to secure the denture in place, greatly increasing the success rate and satisfaction of the denture.

Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used to replace several missing teeth and can also be fixed or removable. Similar to a dental bridge, the dentures can be secured using either dental crowns or dental implants.

Benefits of Implant Dentures
Implant dentures offer a number of benefits compared to removable dentures including:

• Better retention, no chance of slippage
• Improved health of bone and gums
• Ability to eat without restrictions
• No adhesives needed
• More natural look and feel
