Oregon Wisdom Teeth offers the following dentures systems:

What are Dentures?
Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. At Oregon Wisdom Teeth, we offer both full and partial dentures, as well as implant-retained dentures for patients looking for a more secure fit!
Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed and may require frequent adjustments during the first couple of months of use.
Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to bridges.
Are Dentures Right for Me?
Removable dentures are often ideal for patients who are experiencing tooth loss, but concerned about the costs of dental implants. At your restorative dentistry consultation, our team will provide all the information you need about replacing teeth with dentures, and help you determine the best tooth replacement solution for you. We're always happy to answer any questions you might have, and can determine the best course of treatment for your ongoing dental health.
Caring For Your Dentures
Dentures, just like natural teeth, require daily maintenance to stay clean and keep bacteria from growing inside of your mouth. Keep your dentures clean and your smile healthy by brushing your dentures every day, using a gentle cleanser to clean them, and keeping them clean and moist when they are not in use. Certain styles of dentures require certain soaking solutions, but Dr. Brannen will recommend the best one for you!
If by chance your dentures become broken or damaged, contact us at Oregon Wisdom Teeth to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Broken dentures that don't fit properly can cause irritation to your gums and mouth. And don't forget continue scheduling regular dental checkups every six months to make sure that your dentures function optimally and your smile stays healthy for many years to come!
