What are the benefits of maintaining a complete set of teeth and promptly replacing any that are lost?
We work with individuals of all ages to protect their teeth. Our services, such as routine check-ups, help prevent the leading causes of tooth loss, including dental decay and periodontal (gum) disease.
When teeth cannot be maintained or restored using our various treatment options, it is important to remove and replace them promptly. Having a complete set of teeth supports your overall health, including mental and emotional well-being, which is crucial for your physical condition. This proactive approach to tooth replacement also helps avoid many potential complications associated with tooth loss, such as shifting and damage to other teeth or nutritional deficiencies that can arise from difficulty chewing due to missing teeth.
Which type of restoration do I need?
Depending on your specific needs, teeth may be replaced with either a partial denture or a full (complete) upper or lower denture(s). These dentures generally look, feel, and function a little like this:
- “Partials” – For patients missing a few or many teeth. These individuals still have some healthy teeth. The partial denture attaches to those existing neighboring teeth. The “false” teeth and prosthetic gum tissue are connected to a framework. The framework is fitted with special attachments, such as clasps. The denture is held in place in the mouth when these attachments are connected to the teeth.
- Full dentures – Prosthetic teeth and gum tissue make up the base of the denture. Dentures are designed to slip into the mouth. They are then sealed in place with natural suction. Depending on the number of remaining healthy teeth, a patient may have either an upper or lower denture or both upper and lower dentures. These dentures must be removed for proper cleaning.

How do I know if the denture is fitting correctly for me?
The fit of the denture is all-important. The complaints associated with dentures stem from an ill-fitting denture. At Canyon Crossing Dental, we assure you that your dentures will fit your mouth precisely. We also work with you to ensure they continue to fit like a glove. Over time, as the natural tissues shift, dentures may not fit as well as they did on the day you received them. When this happens, the denture may be loose and slip around. This naturally affects your ability to function and your overall satisfaction with dentures.
What support do you offer for transitioning to dentures?
We offer a range of support services for individuals transitioning to dentures, including personalized consultations to address concerns, fitting adjustments for comfort, educational materials on denture care and maintenance, and follow-up appointments to ensure proper adaptation. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.

How do I ensure the longevity of my dentures and partials?
Taking proper care of your dentures and partials is important for their longevity and your oral health. Here are some tips to ensure they last as long as possible:
- Clean them regularly: Just like natural teeth, dentures and partials need to be cleaned daily to remove plaque and bacteria buildup. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or denture brush with non-abrasive cleaner to gently clean all surfaces.
- Soak them overnight: When not wearing your dentures or partials, soak them in a denture cleaner solution or water to keep them moist and prevent warping.
- Handle with care: Dentures and partials can break easily, so it’s advised that you handle them carefully when caring for them, taking them out, or putting them in.
