Enjoy a Whole Smile Again
Teeth can go missing for a wide variety of reasons, but know that you never have to live with an incomplete smile. Not only can missing several or all of your teeth along an arch drastically impact your health, but it can also cause your confidence to degrade, keeping you from getting the most out of life. At Goodyear Family Dentistry, we can craft a custom-tailored full or partial denture to allow you to regain the complete function of your smile again. Call our Goodyear dental office today to start your journey.

Who's a Good Candidate for Dentures?
With the ability to address partial and complete tooth loss cases, dentures are more versatile than you may think. So, if you are interested in rebuilding your smile with this tried-and-true tooth-replacement solution, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us! In the meantime, you can read on to learn more, including the qualities that we look for in a good candidate.
Effects of Missing Teeth
Of course, even relatively small gaps in your smile can take a toll on your self-esteem. However, the negative effects of missing teeth don’t end there. Tooth loss can also make it difficult to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, lead to trouble enunciating clearly, and even result in oral health problems, like dental drift. For all of those reasons, we encourage patients to explore their treatment options right away instead of taking the “wait and see” approach.
What Qualifies You for Dentures?
The ideal dentures candidate:
- Is either missing several or all of their teeth along an arch
- Has healthy enough gums to support a denture
- Wants to improve their ability to chew food and speak
- Wants to improve the appearance of their smile
- Has a realistic expectation of what living with dentures will be like.
Alternative Tooth-Replacement Options
If we decide together that dentures aren’t the ideal tooth-replacement solution for you for one reason or another, don’t worry – we also offer:
- Dental bridges: Designed to replace one tooth or up to four teeth consecutively, dental bridges are anchored in place with two custom dental crowns. Since every aspect of the restoration is custom-made with your unique face shape, dental needs, and aesthetic goals in mind, the final result will be a complete smile that looks and feels very lifelike.
- Dental implants: This cutting-edge solution has skyrocketed in popularity over the years. Since it’s the only one that is inserted directly into your jawbone, that helps prevent bone loss, and that can last for 30+ years with the proper care and maintenance, it’s not hard to see why, either! If you are interested in finding out if you’re a good candidate, take the next step: give us a call!
Whether you’re interested in learning more about dentures or one of the other tooth-replacement solutions we offer, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us. That way, we can learn all about your dental needs, create your treatment plan, and get to work rebuilding your smile!
Types of Dentures
Our skilled dentists in Goodyear are able to offer multiple options, ensuring that you find the best one to fit your needs and smile goals. Depending on your individual case, you may benefit from one of the following three types of dentures listed below.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are created to fit like a puzzle piece between your existing teeth, allowing them to replace multiple missing teeth throughout an arch. They’re crafted from durable acrylic and natural-looking ceramic or porcelain, offering a lifelike look and significantly improved oral function.
Full Dentures
Patients who are missing all of their teeth in an arch may find that full dentures would work best for them. They’re designed to secure atop the gumline using the natural suction that occurs within the mouth. Plus, because they’re removable, they’re easy to care for!
Implant Dentures
If you’re looking for a more permanent and lifelike tooth replacement treatment, dentures can also be secured to the mouth by a foundation of dental implants. These are small, biocompatible titanium posts that replace the roots of your teeth, as they’re surgically inserted into the jawbone. This added stability ensures that your prosthetic won’t shift or move in your mouth and restore most of your original bite force.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures have been a tried-and-true method of replacing missing teeth for centuries, offering patients a boost in confidence and quality of life. Some other benefits that you’ll be able to enjoy because of your prosthetic include:
- Support for your facial structure and muscles.
- Easy to clean and maintain.
- Help prevent additional tooth loss or shifting teeth.
- Better speaking and eating abilities.
- Eat more of your favorite foods.
