Dental DenturesThere are a couple options for dentures in a variety of materials, partial and full and these are available in a variety of ways. Dr. Perkiomaki will help you decide which is your best option. Partial DenturesPartial dentures are overall more comfortable. Partial dentures are held in place using metal clasps. They do require some healthy teeth to attach to but are more comfortable for chewing and talking versus full dentures. If there are no healthy teeth to anchor, we may advise you to consider the placement of dental implants. There are pro's and con's to both dentures and dental implants. Let us help you determine if you are a candidate for a partial denture based on your gums and anchor teeth, or if implants would be a better solution for you. ![]() Partial Dentures can help you:

Dentures will change your daily diet and the variety of food you are able to eat. Patients also report a decrease in self-confidence during social situations.
