Full Dentures and Partial Dentures

Giving Smiles New Life with Dentures and Partials

Missing teeth can jeopardize your oral health and prevent you from living life to the fullest. Dr. Heher wants you to have a complete smile, so he offers full and partial dentures returning oral comfort to your mouth, as well as chewing function, speech function and appearance.

Full dentures contain a complete set of prosthetic teeth on a gum-colored base to mimic a natural smile. If you've lost all your teeth to disease, decay, or trauma, dentures are an ideal solution to renew your smile and let you eat, talk, and laugh with confidence. Dentures are typically held in place with adhesive but may be secured with dental implants for maximum stability.

Dr. Heher may suggest a partial denture, or partial, if you have some healthy teeth remaining. Partials fill the gaps left by missing teeth, much like puzzle pieces complete a puzzle. Partial dentures are secured with hidden metal clasps attached to neighboring teeth. Today, more modern partial denture design can usually hide the clasps, making them invisible to the naked eye.

Because an attractive smile DOES matter. Call today to schedule your dentures or partial appointment with Dr. Heher. We deliver exceptional care and personalized service to residents of Salisbury and Delmarva.
