Complete and Partial Dentures
If you are considering dentures but envision the fake-looking artificial teeth your grandparents wore, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Updated materials available today allow us to dramatically improve the look of dentures for a more natural appearance than you ever thought possible.
Dentures Customized for Your Smile
Dr. Holland’s extensive skill and experience enable him to create fully customized removable dentures that restore your smile’s function and appearance. Whether designing full dentures or partials, his goal is to create natural-looking replacement teeth that fit comfortably, restore chewing function, and closely resemble natural teeth.
Because each patient is different, we customize the type of dentures to meet their unique tooth replacement needs.
- Complete removable dentures are appropriate when all the teeth are missing in the upper arch, lower arch, or both.
- Partial removable dentures are designed for partial tooth loss and are customized to fill the gaps around existing teeth. Partials are held in place with clasps attached to adjacent teeth.
If you want assurance that your dentures won't shift or move out of place, our implant dentures combine the appearance of beautiful replacement teeth with the stability of dental implants secured in the jawbone.

Benefits of Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are economical and an excellent solution that works well for almost anyone who needs tooth replacement. While implant dentures are more stable, several months of healing are involved, and some patients want a more immediate solution.
Today, we have access to updated materials that help us create removable dentures that are softer and lighter and conform more snugly to the contours of the jaw. You can be confident that, whatever tooth replacement you choose, Dr. Holland will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your smile goals.

As you can see, you have several tooth replacement options, and there's a lot to consider. You can rest assured our skilled and competent dental team will guide you through the process, answer all your questions, and help you choose the most appropriate solution for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
All-on-4 is a technique used to replace all upper or lower missing teeth with as few as four implants. The implants are placed towards the front of the jaw, and a fixed dental prosthesis (denture) is custom-designed to connect to the implants. Also referred to as hybrids, All-on-4 dentures are permanent and cannot be removed by the patient like a removable denture.
How Does All-on-4 Work?
The success of All-on-4 implants is due to their placement in the bone. Our oral surgeon places 4–6 implants in the top or bottom jawbone close to the front of the mouth where the bone is strongest. Two of the implants are also tilted to increase bone-to-implant contact for greater stability.
We attach temporary dentures to the implants the same day they are placed, so you don’t have to go without teeth. After the implants heal in 3–6 months, we will replace the temporary with your final denture.
