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. Embracing innovation and artistry, we are dedicated to helping our patients regain their oral health and confidence, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives with a captivating smile.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. It is supported by your existing teeth and will help to regain the esthetics, chewing and speaking function that you require. We will evaluate the health of your remaining teeth, and make you a partial that is custom fit. We offer different types of partials, depending on your esthetic and functional concerns.
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 are commonly added to removable upper dentures and partials as well to help retain them more rigidly and improve their function.

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.

Mary Donovan
I had an excellent experience yesterday, my first visit, as an emergency patient. They took me in right away, late in the day, at least 5:30 pm. Doctor diagnosed me with a gum infection, which was causing me the most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced. Gave me antibiotics, and today, after 3 doses, I have no more pain. Will recommend this practice to everyone I know. Thank you, Dr Bill!!
