A Complete Solution for Tooth Loss at Any Stage
Tooth loss, whether gradual or sudden, affecting a few teeth or an entire arch, has a profound impact on more than just appearance. It affects how you eat, how you speak, how your face looks over time, and often how you feel about yourself in everyday situations. Left unaddressed, missing teeth also set off a chain of oral health consequences: neighboring teeth shift and drift, the jawbone begins to resorb without tooth roots to stimulate it, and the remaining teeth face increased strain and wear.
Dentures have come a long way. Today's full and partial dentures are custom-crafted from high-quality materials, precisely fitted to each patient's unique oral anatomy, and designed to look and function as naturally as possible. At Smile Vegas Dental, we take the time to understand your goals, whether you want a restoration that blends seamlessly with your remaining smile or a complete transformation and we build your dentures around those goals from the very first appointment.

Types of Dentures We Offer
Full dentures
Full dentures are dental appliances that replace all the teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. They consist of a thin acrylic base resembling natural teeth with porcelain or acrylic teeth that can be customized to meet individual needs and preferences. This customization ranges from selecting teeth that blend seamlessly with existing smiles to creating noticeable transformations.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures are removable dental devices used to fill gaps caused by one or more missing teeth. These consist of an acrylic or metal base that sits comfortably on the gums and supports artificial teeth made of either porcelain or acrylic. The replacement teeth are tailored to match the size, shape, and color of the surrounding natural teeth, and the partial denture is designed to latch onto remaining teeth or dental implants. Partial dentures can improve chewing ability, boost speech clarity, prevent shifting of remaining natural teeth, and enhance our smile's aesthetic appeal.
What to Expect During Your Denture Process
Getting dentures at Smile Vegas Dental is a collaborative, multi-step process designed to ensure the best possible fit, function, and appearance. Here is what the journey typically looks like:
- Comprehensive Consultation & Exam Our dentist will conduct a thorough exam, review your dental and medical history, take X-rays, and assess the health of your remaining teeth and gums. We will discuss your goals, explain all available options, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Any Necessary Extractions If any remaining teeth need to be removed before your dentures can be placed, extractions are completed first and the gums are given time to heal. In some cases, immediate temporary dentures can be placed right after extractions so you are never without teeth during the healing period.
- Impressions & Measurements Precise impressions and measurements of your mouth are taken to serve as the foundation for your custom dentures. The shade, shape, and size of your replacement teeth are selected in collaboration with you, ensuring the final result aligns with your appearance goals.
- Fitting & Adjustments Once your dentures are fabricated, you'll come in for a fitting appointment. Our dentist will check the fit, bite, and appearance carefully and make any necessary adjustments. It is normal to require one or more follow-up adjustments as you and your mouth adapt to the new appliance.
- Ongoing Care & Follow-Up We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the fit and condition of your dentures over time. As the shape of your gums and jawbone changes, which naturally occurs after tooth loss, periodic relining or adjustment of your dentures may be needed to maintain proper fit and comfort.
