What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable, custom-made replacements for missing teeth, designed to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. At Gause Dentistry, Dr. Gause places and fits dentures and bridges for patients with a more limited number of missing teeth in a row.

There are a few different approaches, depending on your specific situation:

  • Traditional (conventional) dentures rest directly on the gums and are held in place through natural suction and, in some cases, adhesive. They remain a practical option for patients who aren’t candidates for implants or who prefer a non-surgical approach.
  • Implant-supported removable dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the practicality of a removable appliance. A small number of implants are placed in the jawbone, and the denture is designed to snap securely onto them—offering significantly more stability and confidence than a traditional denture, while remaining removable for cleaning.
  • Bridges, while not technically dentures, are another option Dr. Gause places as indicated for patients missing one or a few teeth in a row, using the surrounding natural teeth (or implants) as anchors for a fixed, non-removable restoration.

Because the practice also offers full-arch fixed implant solutions (All-on-4, All-on-6, All-on-X), patients considering dentures have a full range of options to weigh—from fully removable to fully fixed—based on their bone health, budget, and personal preference.

Benefits of Dentures

Restored function and appearance

Whether traditional or implant-supported, dentures allow patients missing multiple teeth to eat a wider range of foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

A range of options to fit your situation

Not every patient is a candidate for—or interested in—a fixed full-arch implant solution. Dentures, particularly implant-supported ones, offer a strong middle ground: significantly more stability and comfort than a traditional denture, at a different investment level and treatment timeline than a fixed full-arch case.

Greater stability with implant support

For patients who’ve struggled with a loose or shifting traditional denture, implant-supported dentures offer a noticeable improvement—the denture snaps securely onto the implants, reducing movement while eating and speaking.

A plan tailored to your bone health

Whether implant-supported dentures are a good option depends significantly on the volume and density of your jawbone. Because CBCT imaging is used to evaluate this in detail, and bone grafting is available when needed, Dr. Gause can offer a clear, honest recommendation about which type of denture—or whether a fixed alternative—makes the most sense for you.

A comfortable, well-fitted appliance

Digital scanning is used throughout the denture fabrication process, supporting a more precise, comfortable fit than older impression-based methods.

Which Option Is Right for You?

The right choice between traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures, a bridge, or a fixed full-arch solution depends on how many teeth you’re missing, the condition of your jawbone, and your personal priorities around cost, stability, and maintenance.
