Natural-Looking Dentures in Harker Heights for a Confident You
At Stonehaven Dental & Orthodontics, we provide a wide range of partial and complete denture solutions to replace missing teeth. We prioritize using top-quality materials to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural. Each denture is carefully customized through a collaborative process between the dentist, patient, and lab, ensuring a tailored tooth replacement plan that meets your specific needs.
Our dentures can be supported by natural teeth, a combination of teeth and bone, teeth and implants, or implants alone. The choice of a removable appliance depends on the health and stability of your remaining teeth, your preferences, and the materials available. We're here to discuss all options and help you choose the best solution.
Complete dentures are recommended when all teeth in an arch are missing or need replacement. We offer temporary dentures prior to planned extractions, so you’ll never leave our office without teeth. Dentures can be designed to rest on the bone for retention or be fitted with implants for enhanced stability. In some cases, existing dentures can even be adapted to attach to implants for improved retention.
What to Know About Removable Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, effectively filling gaps and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting. They offer several benefits, including:
- Restores Your Natural Smile: Offers a natural look, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
- Improves Chewing Function: Enhances your ability to chew effectively, with minimal dietary restrictions.
- Prevents Cosmetic Issues: Helps prevent sagging and other facial concerns associated with missing teeth.
Proper Care for Your Partial Dentures
Be sure to schedule a comprehensive examination and cleaning of your natural teeth every six months with our doctors. During these visits, we'll also assess the fit and functionality of your partial dentures.

What to Expect During Your Denture or Partial Procedure
The procedure begins with a local anesthetic to numb the area. We then prepare the surrounding teeth by shaping and filing them to accommodate the new bridge. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create both a temporary and a permanent bridge. You'll leave with a temporary bridge in place, and at a follow-up appointment, the temporary bridge will be replaced with the permanent one. The permanent bridge is securely attached using dental-grade adhesive, then polished and adjusted for a perfect fit. We’ll also provide instructions on how to brush and floss around your new bridge.
