Full and Partial Digital Dentures
Gateway Oaks Dental now offers digital dentures! Our team uses advanced imaging tools like digital CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology to digitally scan your smile and custom-design your dentures. Your new dentures are then created right here in our office for precise, perfectly fitted results.
With digital scanning and impressions, you won't have to worry about uncomfortable traditional impressions – instead, our intraoral scanner will capture a detailed 3D image of your smile that will be used to create your new restoration. We'll create a full or partial denture that is easily customizable to your smile and your needs.

- Unmatched precision. Digital technology allows us to have more control over the denture design and creation process, for enhanced results that fit you best.
Removable Dentures
Traditional removable dentures have long been a reliable option for replacing multiple missing teeth or even an entire arch of teeth. Removable dentures offer a cost-effective and non-invasive way to restore your chewing ability, improve your speech, and enhance your smile's aesthetics. They are also easy to remove for daily cleaning and maintenance. At Gateway Oaks Dental, we offer both complete dentures and partial removable dentures.
Complete dentures are used when all teeth in an upper or lower arch are missing. They are custom-fabricated to fit snugly over your gums, restoring the appearance of your smile and supporting your facial structure.
Removable partial dentures are recommended if you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. These dentures typically consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often with clasps that connect to your natural teeth for stability.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Providing a more stable and lasting solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, implant-supported dentures offer significant advantages over traditional removable dentures. Many denture wearers experience their dentures becoming loose or "floating" in the mouth, which can limit their ability to eat a variety of foods and speak comfortably. Implant-supported dentures eliminate these common complaints by providing exceptional stability.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
Implant-supported dentures begin with the precise placement of dental implants. These small, screw-like titanium posts are surgically inserted into your jawbone, where they act as secure anchors for your denture, much like natural tooth roots. Most patients benefit from 4-6 dental implants per denture.
Once the implants have been placed and allowed sufficient healing time to integrate with your jawbone, your custom-designed denture is securely attached on top, for unparalleled stability. Many patients report that their implant-supported dentures feel and function much more like their natural teeth, offering renewed confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling. Benefits of implant-supported dentures include superior stability, improved chewing comfort, reduced irritation associated with traditional dentures, and preservation of jawbone health.
In many cases, we can even retrofit an existing denture to work with new implants, offering a practical upgrade. Many patients find the implant-retained dentures to be a close alternative to their natural teeth.
