Denture Types We Offer
Not every patient needs the same solution. We provide full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures so treatment can match what’s actually happening in your mouth.
Full Dentures
Full (complete) dentures replace an entire arch of upper or lower teeth. They rest on the gum line and are held in place through natural suction, sometimes with the help of a denture adhesive. Conventional full dentures are custom-made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extractions so you aren’t without teeth during the healing period.
Partial Dentures
When some natural teeth remain, a partial denture fills the gaps while those teeth stay in place. Partials are typically secured with clasps or brackets to neighboring teeth, creating a stable, removable prosthetic that blends with your existing smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients who want a more stable fit, dentures can be anchored to implant posts placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures may shift less, and the posts can help preserve jawbone density that can otherwise decrease after tooth loss. We offer full arch implant dentistry as well. Our dedicated implant dentistry services cover this option in full detail.
Why Buckhead Patients Choose Premier Dental Care of Buckhead for Dentures
Several things set our practice apart for patients considering dentures in the Buckhead area.
On-Site Dental Laboratory
Our office has its own dental laboratory, so fabrication and adjustments stay under one roof. That keeps the workflow coordinated and the experience more convenient for patients.
Prosthodontic Affiliation & Restorative Credentials
Dr. Brown is a member of the Southeastern Academy of Prosthodontics and the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, professional affiliations that reflect a sustained commitment to restorative care and its standards. The practice has also received the 2023 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave recognition and a 2019 Top Dentists designation from Atlanta Magazine.
Comfortable Anesthesia Options
Dr. Brown and Dr. Collett use the Wand single-tooth anesthesia system for restorative procedures. The Wand is a computer-controlled delivery system that precisely regulates anesthetic flow and pressure, which can make injections more comfortable than traditional syringes. It’s paired with a specially formulated numbing gel applied beforehand.
Sedation Dentistry & Financing
Patients who experience dental anxiety can access sedation dentistry at our practice. CareCredit financing is also available to help make treatment more manageable.
What to Expect During the Denture Process
Every denture case begins with a thorough consultation. We review your oral health, discuss treatment options, and walk through the information you need to choose the approach that works best for you. This typically includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and impressions to evaluate bone structure, gum health, and bite.
Once we have accurate impressions and measurements, your dentures are fabricated, and you return for a fitting appointment. We confirm fit, function, and appearance before finalizing the restoration. Follow-up adjustments are common in the first weeks of wear as your mouth adapts, and we stay with you through that process. Call us at (404) 491-7711 or request an appointment online to get started.
Caring for Your Dentures
Good daily habits protect your dentures and help you catch fit changes before they become bigger problems.
Daily Cleaning & Storage
Remove and rinse your dentures after eating to clear food debris. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush and a denture cleanser or mild soap. Regular toothpaste is too abrasive for denture materials and can cause surface damage over time.
When your dentures aren’t in use, store them in water or a denture-soaking solution so the material doesn’t dry out and lose its shape. Remove them before sleeping to let your gum tissue rest, and avoid hot water, which can warp the fit.
Fit Changes, Damage & Checkups
Jaw and gum ridges change naturally over time, which can affect how dentures fit. Relining or replacement may become necessary. If your dentures crack or break, contact our office rather than attempting a repair yourself. Improvised fixes can alter the fit and potentially cause injury. Even without remaining natural teeth, regular checkups matter: we continue to monitor gum tissue and overall oral health at each visit.
Dentures vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options
Dentures are one of several ways to replace missing teeth. The right choice depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of surrounding tissue and bone, and your goals for comfort and function.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are generally recommended when one or a few teeth are missing and healthy teeth on either side of the gap can serve as anchors. They’re a fixed restoration, meaning they don’t come out.
Dental Implants
Implants are surgically placed posts that support individual crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. They can offer a more stable fit and help preserve the jawbone, but require adequate bone density and a surgical procedure.
Dentures
For patients missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, dentures are often the most accessible and economical path to a functional smile. They can also be combined with implants for added stability when that’s the right fit.
At Premier Dental Care of Buckhead, we don’t steer patients toward a single solution. We explain all available options, including dental bridges and full arch implant dentistry, and give you the information you need to choose what fits your oral health, lifestyle, and budget. Sometimes the right answer is a combination of restorations.
