Sets of full and partial dentures in Greeley, CO It is estimated that over 36 million people in the United States are missing one or more teeth and over 120 million Americans are missing all of their teeth!

Dr. Buffington and Dr. Stewart have worked with countless patients to restore missing teeth and improve function with a set of complete or partial dentures.

Full Dentures to Replace All Teeth

A complete denture set is an acrylic prosthetic device that mimics the look of healthy teeth and gums. There are two types – conventional and immediate.

A conventional denture is fabricated when all remaining teeth are removed and the gums have been allowed to heal, a process that can take anywhere from three to four months. After healing, the denture is fabricated. Patients have the option of wearing an immediate denture during this time so they are never without teeth.

An immediate denture is fabricated before the teeth are removed, and when the teeth are removed, the denture is placed. This is an excellent temporary option, and the patient is never without teeth.

Partial Dentures for Multiple Missing Teeth

It's made of the same acrylic, but often has a metal reinforcement to give it strength. With so many improvements and advances in dentistry, partial dentures are a wonderful option for patients missing more than one tooth.

What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?

Do you have missing teeth and want to recreate your natural smile? At Norco Family Dental, we offer attractive tooth replacement options, including dental implants and dentures.

Dentures Replace Missing Teeth

Dentures replace the visible portion of your teeth and rest upon the gums. There are two types of dentures: complete and partial.

Complete dentures are used when all or most of your teeth are missing.
Partial dentures are used when you still have remaining healthy teeth.

Conventional dentures are removable and customized to ensure a perfect fit. We craft our dentures from the highest-quality materials so they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

Dental Implants Permanently Restore Your Teeth

Dental implants permanently replace the tooth roots (beneath the gums) and the visible portion of the tooth (above the gums). Dental implants are commonly considered to be the gold standard for tooth replacement because they become a natural part of your mouth's anatomy.

Dental implant posts are made from biocompatible titanium, so they're long-lasting and durable. Your dentist surgically places the dental implant post into the jawbone. After it heals, we top it off with a restoration, which can be a crown, bridge, or permanent denture.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Traditional removable dentures take time for patients to get used to eating with them. Sometimes, movement or slippage occurs during eating, and your dentures may need to be adjusted to ensure a snug fit.

Over time, however, you'll get used to eating with your dentures and should be able to enjoy all the foods you love!

Implant-Supported Dentures in Greeley Eliminate the Guesswork

We can also use dental implants to support full or partial dentures, providing security and stability and eliminating slippage while talking or eating.

Our dentists will strategically place two to six implants into your jawbone and design your upper or lower denture to snap into them. The implants hold your denture securely in place, keeping your jawbone stimulated and healthy so you don't experience the bone deterioration that accompanies traditional denture wear.

Which Type of Denture Is Right for Me?

Our dentists can help you determine the right denture for your needs during an evaluation. During this visit, they will gather information about your smile through an exam and x-rays.

Don't let the loss of multiple teeth hold you back! Please contact your team at Norco Family Dental at (970) 356-5277 to book an evaluation with one of our dentists.

Dr. Shawn Buffington DMD

Dr. Buffington, originally from Kansas, has had one heck of an upbringing. He grew up in a single-parent household and bounced around from city to city until he landed in Norco, where he met Dr. Stewart. Before (and even during) this time, he often went without basic necessities like food, transportation to school, and a home. But he was somehow able to navigate through those difficulties, get an education, and became the dentist he is today.
