DENTURES

For patients missing all their teeth, we offer traditional dentures to give you back the function, feel and appearance of your natural teeth. For optimal aesthetics, we also offer flexible smile replacements for partial areas of missing teeth.

If you already have dentures in Humboldt or Webster City, IA but hate the way they fit, we offer an implant retainment option for greater stability. We can even retro-fit your existing dentures to snap into place!

Our dentists, Dr. Ryan Gidel, Dr. Cody Olson and Dr. Kyle Olson, specialize in the use of cutting-edge technology so that they can see things within your mouth that aren’t readily apparent using traditional equipment.

If you are in need of dentures, we invite you to give us a call. Our friendly staff will be happy to arrange a consultation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE DENTURES?

There are two main types: complete dentures and partial dentures. At NorthPark Family Dentistry, we offer both types of dentures to our patients.

Complete dentures replace all of the teeth, while partial replace only some of the teeth. A person could have two complete dentures (one on top and one on bottom), two partial dentures, or one of each.

People can also wear only one denture (partial or complete) that chews against his or her natural teeth. A denture improves chewing ability and speech, and it provides support for the facial muscles. A well-made denture will give people a beautiful and confident smile.

An over-denture is a removable denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants. The over-denture can be fitted with special attachments that allow it to snap into place so that it doesn't move around when speaking or eating. The over-denture rests on the existing teeth or implants, rather than gum tissue, which allows people to chew hard foods comfortably.

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF THEM?

Dentures, just like natural teeth, require daily care in order to stay clean and keep dangerous bacteria from growing on them. It's important to keep them clean in order to keep your smile healthy!

Just like your teeth, plaque, and tartar can build up on your dentures. It's important to brush them daily and rinse them after each meal.

DENTAL IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURES

Implant-retained dentures can restore the wearer's quality of life significantly. Our patients can be more confident during their daily activities with the superior chewing and speaking functions our durable implant-retained dentures provide..

DENTURE REPAIR

At NorthPark Family Dentistry, our dentures are custom-made for each patient. However, as your mouth changes and adjusts to dentures, they don't adjust to your mouth. This means that as time goes on your dentures may begin to feel too loose or too tight, and/or you might experience chafing or irritation on your gums.

If your dentures no longer fit correctly, are damaged, or are causing you discomfort, call our office today to schedule an appointment.

FULL MOUTH RESTORATION

Loss of your natural teeth, whether due to an accident or as part of the aging process, can be traumatic and affect your outlook on life. With the help of full mouth reconstruction, there are many options to restore your smile even if you have suffered extensive tooth loss.
