Restore Your Smile with Full or Partial Dentures
Dr. Heather Martinson and her team in Arlington, TX, can restore your smile with traditional dentures. We offer:
- Full Dentures, which replace an entire arch of teeth by fitting to your gums.
- Partial Dentures, which replace a smaller number of teeth by fitting around your gums and
natural teeth.
Our team works closely with each patient to determine the right fit and style. Full dentures are ideal for those who have experienced significant or complete tooth loss, either in the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are carefully molded to rest snugly on the gums, offering reliable support and function.
On the other hand, a partial denture is best suited for patients who still have some healthy teeth remaining. Designed with a supportive metal or acrylic framework, a partial denture attaches around your existing natural teeth, effectively filling the gaps and restoring the balance of your bite. This option not only improves aesthetics but also prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
The Benefits of Traditional Dentures

Beyond cosmetic improvement, dentures play an essential role in restoring oral function. With the right fit, you can enjoy increased chewing efficiency and clearer speech, both of which are often compromised by tooth loss.

For many patients, dentures provide a practical way to rebuild their smiles without the financial burden of more invasive procedures. Our office will work with you to discuss the available options, your budget, and your oral health goals, helping you make the best decision for your needs.
What to Expect from the Denture Process
The process of receiving dentures typically involves a few appointments. First, Dr. Martinson will examine your mouth and assess your oral health, paying close attention to gum condition, bone structure, and remaining teeth. If extractions are needed due to decay or severely damaged teeth, we’ll make sure you understand your options and timeline.
Next, we’ll take impressions of your gums and any existing teeth to design your custom denture. This ensures a comfortable, secure fit and natural-looking results. During a follow-up visit, we’ll check for fit, comfort, and function — making any necessary adjustments.
Whether you receive a full denture or partial denture, you’ll be guided through how to care for your appliance at home.
With proper maintenance, dentures can last many years and continue to provide dependable results.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are a great solution for a wide range of patients. If you’ve experienced tooth loss due to decay, gum disease, injury, or aging, you may be an ideal candidate for full or partial dentures. They are especially well-suited for individuals who may not be eligible for surgical procedures or who are looking for a more cost-effective path to restoring their smile.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your gum health, jawbone strength, and remaining teeth to determine the best option for you. Our goal is to help you achieve a functional, confident smile that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Caring for Your Dentures
Keeping your dentures clean and well-maintained is essential for long-term comfort and oral health. Daily brushing with a denture brush and soaking them overnight in a gentle cleanser helps to remove food particles and plaque. If you have a partial denture, it’s also important to continue brushing your natural teeth twice a day and flossing to avoid decay and gum disease.
Over time, your mouth naturally changes, and your dentures may need occasional adjustments or relining. Our Arlington dental office is here to help with ongoing care and support, ensuring your dentures continue to serve you well year after year.
