Full & Partial Dentures in Tucson, AZ

Dentures are removable dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth. They restore the appearance of your smile and support oral function by filling gaps left by tooth loss.

• Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
• Partial dentures fill in for multiple missing teeth while preserving any remaining natural ones.

Both types are custom-made for your mouth, improving bite function and helping to maintain facial structure.

Today’s dentures offer much more than basic tooth replacement. With the right fit and design, they can:

• Restore natural facial contours and improve appearance
• Support clear speech and proper nutrition
• Prevent shifting of remaining teeth (in partials)
• Improve self-confidence in social and professional settings

For many patients, dentures are a practical, affordable way to replace missing teeth—especially when paired with modern techniques like implants or digital scanning.

At Ironwood Dental, we offer digital dentures crafted with advanced scanning and design technology. This streamlined process replaces traditional impression materials with precise digital imaging, resulting in:

• Fewer appointments and faster turnaround
• Greater accuracy and comfort
• Easy replacement or replication if dentures are lost or damaged

Digital dentures are particularly helpful for patients who struggle with gag reflexes or have complex oral anatomy.

If you’re looking for enhanced stability and long-term reliability, implant-supported dentures may be the ideal solution. Instead of resting on the gums alone, these dentures are anchored by 2–6 dental implants that are surgically placed in the jaw.

There are two main types:

1. Fixed Implant Dentures – Non-removable and permanently attached to implants
2. Removable Implant Dentures (Snap-On) – Easily removable for cleaning but more secure than traditional dentures

Implant-supported options:

• Offer superior chewing power
• Eliminate the need for adhesive
• Help preserve jawbone density
• Reduce sore spots and movement

We often recommend these as an alternative to traditional full dentures, especially for patients with good bone structure. Learn more about our dental implants and All-on-4 options as part of your treatment plan.

Here’s how we ensure the process is comfortable and successful:

1. Consultation – We assess your oral health, review your goals, and determine the best type of denture for you.
2. Digital or Physical Impressions – We capture detailed images or molds of your mouth.
3. Try-In & Adjustments – A wax model is used to check fit and esthetics before the final denture is made.
4. Final Placement – Your complete or partial denture is delivered, and we make any necessary adjustments for comfort.
5. Follow-Up – We provide care instructions and follow-up visits to ensure long-term satisfaction.

If extractions or other procedures are required first, we can coordinate all phases of care under one roof.
