What Are Dentures and Partials?

Dentures are like an ultimate makeover for your smile. They're removable tooth replacements that bring back the smile you've been missing while supporting your facial structure. We customize each set so they look so natural that no one will ever know they're not your real teeth.

Full Dentures — Full dentures are a fresh start for your upper or lower jaw—or both—because they completely replace all your teeth and give you a fresh, complete smile.
Partial Dentures — Partials are ideal if you're missing just a few teeth. They fill in the gaps while blending in with your natural smile. They also use discreet clasps or connectors to stay snugly in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to adjust to new dentures?

Adjusting to new dentures can vary significantly from person to person, but generally, individuals may require a few weeks to several months to fully acclimate. Initially, most denture wearers experience some discomfort or difficulty speaking and eating as their mouth adapts to the new prosthetic. In the first few days, it’s common to feel soreness or irritation in the gums, as the tissues are not used to having something foreign in the mouth.

During the initial adjustment period, it’s advisable to start with softer foods and gradually incorporate firmer ones as comfort increases. Practicing speech—reading aloud or repeating difficult words—can also help ease the transition. Some denture wearers find it beneficial to use denture adhesive for added stability, especially in the early stages, which can reduce anxiety about slippage.

Comfortable, Modern Dentures in Anderson, SC

Regular follow-up appointments with the dentist are essential, as adjustments might be needed for proper fit and comfort. These visits can provide reassurance and professional guidance throughout the process. Over time, typically within four to six weeks, most people report feeling more at ease with their dentures. While the adjustment period can be uncomfortable, with time, users often find that full adaptation leads to improved confidence and a better quality of life.
