Dentures
Dentures offer remarkable advantages to patients, playing a pivotal role in enhancing their overall quality of life. At Southtowns Dental Services, we pride ourselves on crafting dentures that not only provide functional benefits but also exude a remarkably natural appearance, leaving patients with the confidence of a beautiful smile. Each denture we create is meticulously designed, using the highest quality teeth and materials available in the industry. Our commitment to excellence extends to the expertise of our doctors, who possess extensive training and experience in the art of custom fitting dentures. By tailoring the denture to each patient’s unique needs, we ensure the best possible fit, maximizing comfort and functionality.
With our carefully crafted dentures, patients can enjoy improved oral functionality, allowing them to bite, chew, and speak with ease. Beyond the practical advantages, the aesthetic aspect is equally essential, as our dentures seamlessly blend in with the natural features of the face, providing a natural-looking smile that can boost self-esteem and foster a positive self-image. Whether a patient requires full dentures or partial ones, our team at Southtowns Dental Services takes the time to understand individual preferences and needs, ensuring that the final result is a denture that feels and looks as close to natural teeth as possible. We also offer denture repair and reline services, ensuring that patients can maintain the longevity of their dentures.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth. Key points about them include:
- Purpose and Benefits: They restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking, and support facial structures.
- Construction: They consist of replacement teeth on a gum-colored base with metal clasps or framework.
- Fitting Process: Your dentist customizes them for a comfortable fit.
- Adjustment Period: It takes time to get used to wearing them.
- Cleaning and Care: Practice good oral hygiene, clean dentures daily, and remove them at night.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist to maintain denture fit and overall oral health.
- Lifespan: With proper care, they can last years but may need adjustments or replacement.
- Replacement Options: Discuss with your dentist if repairs or replacement are needed.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide stability and durability, stimulate the jawbone, and look and function like natural teeth. Implants restore chewing ability, speech clarity, and preserve facial structure. With proper care, they have a high success rate and can be a suitable option for most individuals with good oral health.
We offer implants to improve the fit and retention of your removable partial or complete denture. Our most popular and affordable solution is adding 2-4 implants to help retain your lower denture. This reduces the slipping and soreness associated with lower dentures. Implants can also help with the stability of an upper denture. Other options include a snap-in denture or full-arch prosthesis on multiple implants.

Hybrid Denture
If you are missing or about to lose all of your upper or lower teeth and want the most functional, retentive and life like solution to your missing teeth, a hybrid denture is your best option. This highly esthetic prosthesis is made with a combination of denture and bridge materials to replace missing teeth, gums and loss of bone around the lost teeth. It is firmly anchored to the jawbone with dental implants. This type of denture can only be removed by a dentist. The result is a new set of teeth that are cosmetic and strong and allow you the use, look and feel of natural teeth.
Hybrid dentures combine dental implants with dentures for stable and functional teeth replacement. They provide a secure and natural-looking smile, improved chewing function, and enhanced speech. Hybrid dentures are comfortable, promote bone health, and are easy to maintain. Each denture is customized, and a consultation with a dentist is necessary to determine suitability.
At Southtowns Dental Services, our hybrid dentures are made with high-quality materials and crafted with precision to provide optimal results for our patients. Our experienced team of dentists utilizes the latest technology and techniques to ensure a comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance.

What types of dentures are available?

How long does it take to get dentures?

Tony Castellano
From the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the dentist, they all did an amazing job helping me with my teeth pain that I had sustained at work when I accidentally pulled a little too hard lifting something heavy at work which then I clenched my teeth too hard and mouth and teeth were sore for a little bit. But everybody was great took care of me the same day can't say enough about how practice and the people were amazing switching from where I used to go to here now!! Thank you!!

Holly Yuhnke
Highly recommend this business. I shamefully have not been to the dentist in over 5 years and they made me feel right at home. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and the dentist I spoke with was very kind and explained everything great along with setting up a plan to get things in order. It surpassed my expectations since I have not had great experiences in the past. Had a tooth pulled and 2 root canals/crowns all in a visit today and I freaking love Dr. Fielding!! He knows what he’s doing and spot on. Highly recommend
