Restore Your Smile and Confidence with Custom Denture Solutions
Tooth loss can impact more than your appearance—it can interfere with eating, speaking, and your overall quality of life. At North Haven Dentists, we provide expertly crafted full and partial dentures designed to restore function, comfort, and natural aesthetics. Whether you're missing all your teeth or just a few, our team offers personalized restorative options to help you regain a complete, confident smile.
Dr. M. Aruri and our experienced dental team use advanced technology and high-quality materials to ensure every denture is made to fit comfortably, perform reliably, and look natural. From digital impressions to in-house adjustments, we guide you through every step of your tooth replacement journey.
What Are Full and Partial Dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and are typically made from acrylic materials that closely mimic the look of natural gum tissue and teeth.
Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when some natural teeth remain. They are designed to fill gaps and anchor securely to adjacent teeth using discreet clasps or precision attachments.
We offer several types of denture options to meet individual needs:
- Conventional full dentures – Placed after all remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed.
- Immediate dentures – Delivered the same day as extractions so you never go without teeth.
- Removable partial dentures – Ideal for patients missing multiple teeth but not a full arch.
- Implant-supported dentures – For enhanced stability, available through our implant dentistry solutions.
Each type is custom-fabricated to fit comfortably, support facial structure, and restore natural function.
Signs You May Need Dentures
Dentures are often recommended when other restorative options, such as crowns or bridges, are no longer viable. You may be a candidate if you are experiencing:
- Complete or significant tooth loss
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Shifting or misaligned teeth from gaps
- Facial sagging or changes in jaw structure
- Long-standing dental infections or decay
If you're unsure whether dentures are the right solution, our team can evaluate your oral health and walk you through all available options, including full arch dental implants and overdentures.

Full Dentures vs Partial Dentures: Key Differences
When choosing between full and partial dentures, it's important to understand how they differ:
- Tooth Replacement
- Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth.
- Partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain.
- Support Mechanism
- Full dentures rest directly on the gums.
- Partial dentures attach to adjacent natural teeth using clasps or attachments.
- Removability
- Both full and partial dentures are typically removable.
- Both full and partial dentures are typically removable.
- Implant Compatibility

- Both types can be upgraded to implant-supported options for added stability.
- Ideal Use Case
- Full dentures are best for complete tooth loss.
- Partial dentures are ideal when one or more natural teeth can still be preserved.
Our team will help you choose the most appropriate solution based on your level of tooth loss, oral health, and long-term goals.
Denture Alternatives We Offer
If you’re seeking more permanent or stable solutions, we also provide:
- Implant-supported dentures – for a secure, non-slip fit.
- Overdentures – removable prosthetics that attach to implants.
- Dental bridges – for small gaps between teeth.

Caring for Your Dentures
Maintaining your dentures is essential to prolong their lifespan and protect your oral health. Our recommendations include:
- Cleaning your dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleanser
- Soaking them in a denture solution overnight
- Avoiding hot water, which may warp the appliance
- Scheduling routine dental checkups for oral exams and professional cleaning
- Reporting any changes in fit or comfort promptly
We also encourage denture wearers to maintain their natural gums and any remaining teeth with proper hygiene and regular visits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, most dentures last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, natural changes in your mouth may require adjustments or replacements.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes. While there’s an adjustment period, most patients can resume a normal diet. Implant-supported dentures can improve bite strength and stability for better chewing.
Do dentures require adhesives?
Traditional full dentures may require adhesive for added stability. Implant-supported options often eliminate the need for adhesives altogether.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost. We can review your benefits and also discuss our financing options if needed.
Is it possible to combine dentures with dental implants?
Yes. We offer implant-supported dentures and overdentures that combine the security of implants with the affordability of traditional dentures.
