Full and Partial Dentures in Las Vegas, NV
Experience comfortable, custom-fitted dentures that look natural, feel secure, and are designed to last by Las Vegas’s most trusted dental team.
What Are Dentures?
Las Vegas dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to gum disease, decay, or injury, modern dentures help restore function and appearance. At Smiles for Life Family Dentistry, we create natural-looking replacements that complement your facial structure.
We offer various types including partial dentures for patients with remaining teeth, complete dentures for those missing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, and advanced implant supported dentures for superior stability. Our denture process involves precise impressions ensuring comfortable fit and natural appearance that can last several years with proper care.
Our Denture Options
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either jaw or both. These prosthetics restore function and appearance while supporting facial muscles, preventing the sunken look accompanying tooth loss. After several fitting appointments, your new dentures allow you to speak clearly and enjoy favorite foods again.
Partial Dentures
When you have healthy remaining teeth, partial dentures fill gaps while preserving existing teeth. Using a gum-colored base with replacement teeth, they clip securely onto natural teeth with discreet clasps. This prevents shifting that leads to further issues while restoring your complete smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For ultimate stability, implant supported dentures combine benefits of dental implants with conventional dentures. Several implants placed strategically in your jawbone provide secure foundation for dentures to snap onto, eliminating common concerns about loose-fitting prosthetics.

Benefits of Quality Dentures
Restored Function and Appearance
Customized dentures restore your ability to chew comfortably and speak properly without hesitation. Many patients experience improved quality of life as dentures provide youthful appearance by supporting facial structure and reducing wrinkles around the mouth.
Prevention of Dental Issues
Missing teeth cause remaining teeth to shift, leading to misalignment. Partial dentures maintain proper positioning, preventing complications. They distribute chewing forces evenly, reducing stress and preserving oral health.
Affordable Solution
Compared to full-mouth dental implants, dentures cost significantly less while providing excellent results. We offer flexible payment options making quality dental care accessible throughout Las Vegas.
The Denture Process
Initial Consultation
We evaluate your oral health, take x rays if needed, and discuss options. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or require complete dentures for upper and lower jaw, we create personalized treatment plans.
Fabrication and Fitting
Precise impressions capture your mouth’s unique contours. Multiple appointments ensure perfect fit, comfort, and natural appearance before final placement.
Adjustment Period
Most patients experience a short adjustment period while adapting to new dentures. Initial increased saliva, minor discomfort, or speech changes typically resolve within weeks as your mouth adjusts.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care extends denture life and maintains oral health. Daily cleaning with denture cleaner and soft brush removes food particles and bacteria. Remove dentures nightly, allowing gums to rest while soaking prosthetics in solution to prevent warping.
Regular checkups allow adjustments maintaining comfort as your mouth naturally changes. With proper care, quality dentures typically last 5-7 years before replacement.
Living with Dentures
Modern dentures allow you to eat most foods comfortably. Start with softer options during adjustment, gradually introducing harder foods as confidence grows. Cut food into smaller pieces and chew evenly on both sides.
Speaking may require practice initially. Reading aloud helps adjust to new dentures quickly. Most patients speak properly within days as muscles adapt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients require a few weeks to fully adjust to new dentures. Initially, you might experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, or difficulty with speech and eating. These issues typically resolve as your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures. We provide detailed guidance to help make this adjustment period as comfortable as possible.
With proper care, dentures typically last 5-7 years before needing replacement. However, your mouth naturally changes over time, which can affect how your dentures fit. Regular check-ups allow us to make necessary adjustments to maintain comfort and function. Relines may be recommended every 2-3 years to accommodate these changes.
We generally recommend removing your dentures while sleeping to give your gum tissues time to rest and recover. Overnight, you should soak dentures in a denture solution to keep them clean and prevent them from drying out and warping. However, some patients with specialized dentures may receive different instructions based on their specific situation.
