Restoring Your Smile

Restore Your Smile, Your Confidence, and Your Quality of Life

Missing teeth can affect much more than your appearance. They can make it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods, change the way you speak, lower your confidence, and even impact your overall health. Many people who have lost teeth begin smiling less, avoiding photos, or feeling self-conscious during conversations.

At Gresham Advanced Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves a smile they’re proud to share. We proudly provide custom full dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures, and implant-supported dentures for patients throughout Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview, Wood Village, East Portland, Sandy, Damascus, Boring, and surrounding East County communities.

Our goal isn’t simply to replace missing teeth. It’s to help you smile confidently, enjoy eating again, and improve your overall quality of life.

Why It Matters

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Is Important

Many people think missing teeth are only a cosmetic concern. In reality, losing teeth can affect nearly every part of your oral health. When teeth are missing, neighboring teeth often begin shifting into the empty spaces. Your bite can change, chewing becomes more difficult, and your jawbone slowly begins losing bone because it no longer receives stimulation from natural tooth roots.

Replacing missing teeth can help:

  • Restore your smile
  • Improve your confidence
  • Make chewing easier
  • Improve speech
  • Support your facial appearance
  • Reduce shifting of remaining teeth
  • Help preserve long-term oral health

The sooner missing teeth are replaced, the easier it often is to protect the rest of your smile.

Customized for Your Smile

Our Denture Options

Every denture is customized specifically for your mouth to provide the best possible fit and appearance.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both. Today’s dentures are far more comfortable and natural-looking than they were years ago. Modern materials allow us to create dentures that fit comfortably while restoring your ability to smile, eat, and speak confidently.

Partial Dentures

If you’re missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining, partial dentures may be an excellent solution. They’re designed to fill the gaps while working with your remaining teeth to restore function and appearance—removable, comfortable, and helpful in preventing neighboring teeth from shifting over time.

Immediate Dentures

Some patients don’t want to spend weeks or months without teeth while healing after extractions. Immediate dentures are placed immediately after teeth are removed, allowing you to leave the office with a complete smile. Because your gums naturally shrink as they heal, adjustments or relines are often recommended after healing is complete.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Looking for something even more secure? Implant-supported dentures combine traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants. Instead of resting entirely on the gums, the denture securely attaches to implants placed in the jaw—better stability, less slipping, improved chewing, and greater confidence.

Your Treatment

What to Expect

Every denture treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, take digital X-rays if necessary, and explain every available option.

If teeth need to be removed before dentures are made, we’ll carefully plan your treatment to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Detailed impressions or digital scans are then taken to create dentures designed specifically for your mouth.

After delivery, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and make any adjustments needed. Our team is committed to helping you every step of the way.

The Adjustment Period

Living with Dentures

Getting dentures is the beginning of your new smile. Like anything new, there is a short adjustment period while your mouth adapts. Most patients quickly become comfortable after following a few simple recommendations.

Our goal is to help your dentures feel as natural and comfortable as possible.

We suggest:

  • Start with soft foods
  • Cut food into smaller bites
  • Practice speaking by reading aloud
  • Clean your dentures every day
  • Continue regular dental checkups
  • Let us know if anything feels uncomfortable

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re missing several teeth, have teeth that are severely damaged beyond repair, or are finding it difficult to chew comfortably, dentures may be one of the best options for restoring your smile. During your consultation, we’ll carefully examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone before recommending treatment. Sometimes dental implants or bridges may also be options, and we’ll explain every solution honestly so you can choose what’s best for your long-term oral health.

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace only the missing teeth while fitting around your remaining healthy teeth. If you still have several strong natural teeth, a partial denture may allow you to preserve those teeth while restoring your smile. We’ll help determine which option fits your needs during your examination.

They are much more comfortable than many people expect. Modern dentures are custom-made using advanced materials and techniques that create a more natural fit and appearance. There is an adjustment period with any new denture, but most patients adapt very well and are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they become after a short time.

Every patient is different. Dental implants are often considered the gold standard because they replace both the tooth and the root, while dentures provide an excellent, affordable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. Some patients even choose implant-supported dentures, which combine the security of implants with the convenience of dentures. We’ll review every option with you and help you choose the one that fits your smile, lifestyle, and budget.

Our goal is for them not to. Today’s dentures are designed to look incredibly natural by matching your facial features, smile line, and overall appearance. We want people to notice your smile—not your dentures. Most patients tell us their family and friends comment on how healthy and refreshed they look, not that they’re wearing dentures.

Most dentures last between seven and ten years, although every patient is different. Over time, your gums and jaw naturally change shape, which means your dentures may eventually need adjustments, relines, or replacement. Routine dental visits allow us to monitor the fit and help you keep your dentures comfortable for years.

Yes. While it takes a little practice at first, most patients gradually return to enjoying many of their favorite foods. We recommend starting with softer foods and slowly introducing firmer foods as you become more comfortable. Before long, many patients are surprised by how naturally eating begins to feel again.

Absolutely. Loose dentures are one of the most common reasons patients visit our office. Depending on your situation, we may recommend adjusting your dentures, performing a denture reline, creating a new set of dentures, or discussing implant-supported dentures for additional stability. We’ll evaluate your current dentures and recommend the option that gives you the best long-term comfort and function.
