Dentures
Extensive tooth loss can affect many aspects of your life, making it hard to do things like eat, speak, and smile.
The team at White Pine Dental in Herriman and Murray, UT, can restore your smile with custom-made dentures.
Thanks to advances in restorative dentistry, you have more options than ever when it comes to your dentures.
Top-of-the-Line Denture Options Find the Best Restoration for Your Smile
If you are suffering from extensive tooth loss but have some remaining healthy teeth, you are probably a good candidate for partial dentures. A partial denture is a removable prosthetic that is held in place by a metal framework secured around your natural teeth.
Complete dentures (also known as full dentures) are designed to replace all the teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Traditional complete dentures consist of a gum-colored acrylic base and a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This restoration is removable and secures to your gumline with suction and dental adhesive.
Implant-supported dentures are the most stable and natural-feeling tooth replacement option. They are anchored by titanium implant posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone. Dental implants not only secure your prosthetic in place, but they replace your missing tooth roots, providing numerous oral health benefits.

Our dentists in Murray, Utah, can craft a partial denture that secures to remaining natural teeth for additional stability.
Customizing Your Prosthetic
The team at White Pine Dental carefully customizes your denture based on your individual needs and preferences. You will be able to choose from several different restorative materials for both the denture base and the prosthetic teeth. ValPlast® is a popular new base material that is thin, flexible, and adaptive to your mouth. We also offer prosthetics in a wide range of natural-looking options, including porcelain and ceramic.
Don't worry if you are currently undecided about the customizations for your dentures. Our dentists are happy to explain all of your options and answer your questions during a free consultation. Please contact our office in Murray, UT, today to get started.
