Partials & Dentures

Achieve the appearance that you’ve always wanted!

If you’ve lost your natural teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay or injury, partials and dentures are one of the simplest ways to restore your smile. Dr. Chavez specializes in partials and dentures in Lakewood, CO and can help you get your best smile back. 

Keep in mind, however, that removable partials or full dentures are not quite as comfortable or as ideal as implants and bridges. Removable partials replace anywhere from a few to many missing teeth, while a removable denture replaces all of the teeth in the dental arch. Partials will create unnatural forces on the anchoring teeth and bone resorbs in the missing tooth areas. Dentures will place pressure on the jaw bone, eventually melting the bone height away. Both do require replacement as their fit becomes less ideal with changes in the jaw bone. Eventually, your natural facial features will collapse if replacement is not done.
