Dentures

Dentures are a proven, effective way to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Crosstown Hershey Dental, dentures are customized to fit comfortably and look natural, helping you regain function while supporting facial structure and overall oral health.

Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth in the upper or lower arch) or partial (replacing several missing teeth while using remaining natural teeth for support). If you still have healthy teeth, a partial denture can help prevent shifting and bite changes by filling gaps and stabilizing the surrounding teeth. For patients missing all teeth in an arch, a full denture restores a complete smile and improves chewing ability compared to leaving the space untreated.

Your denture process begins with a thorough exam and a discussion of your goals, lifestyle, and budget. Precise impressions and measurements are taken to create a denture that fits your mouth, supports your bite, and complements your appearance. If extractions are needed, your dentist will explain timing and healing expectations, including whether an immediate denture is appropriate to help you avoid going without teeth during healing.

Modern dentures are designed to be more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Over time, the shape of the jaw can change, so adjustments, relines, or replacements may be needed to maintain a secure fit. Your Crosstown Hershey Dental team will show you how to clean your denture properly and care for your gums and any remaining teeth.

For added stability, some patients choose implant-supported dentures, which can reduce slipping and improve comfort. Crosstown Hershey Dental will help you explore the best option for your needs and create a solution that supports confident daily living.
