Dentures in Garland, TX
What is a partial denture?
A partial denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. It helps you chew, speak, and smile while also helping keep your other teeth from shifting.
Why might you need one?
Missing teeth can make it harder to chew and may cause nearby teeth to move or tilt into the empty space. A partial denture fills the space and helps support your bite.
What happens if missing teeth are not replaced?
Over time, nearby teeth can shift or tilt into the empty space. This can change your bite and make it harder to clean between your teeth. The bone in the area of a missing tooth can also shrink over time. Replacing missing teeth can help maintain your bite, make chewing easier, and support your remaining teeth.
How does it work?
A partial denture uses replacement teeth and a base that fit around your natural teeth. It can be taken out for cleaning and should be cared for every day.
How do you care for it?
- Clean your partial denture every day.
- Rinse it after eating.
- Brush your natural teeth and gums every day.
- Follow your dentist's instructions about wearing it at night.
- Visit your dentist regularly to make sure it still fits properly.
The good news: A partial denture can help restore your smile, improve chewing, and replace missing teeth.
What is a full denture?
A full denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. It can help you chew, speak, and smile.
Why might you need one?
A full denture may be needed when teeth are missing, badly damaged, or cannot be saved. It provides replacement teeth and helps restore your ability to eat and smile.
What happens without teeth?
Missing all of your teeth can make it difficult to chew and speak. The jawbone can also shrink over time because there are no tooth roots to stimulate the bone. This can change the shape of your face and make dentures harder to keep in place.
How does a full denture work?
A full denture is made to fit your mouth and replace your missing teeth. It rests on your gums and can be removed for cleaning.
How do you care for it?
- Clean your denture every day.
- Rinse it after eating.
- Clean your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth.
- Follow your dentist's instructions about wearing it at night.
- Keep your denture moist when it is not being worn.
- Visit your dentist regularly to check the fit and your oral health.
The good news: A full denture can help restore your smile, improve chewing, and make everyday activities easier.

Dr. Nguyen And her staff were all very patient and kind. I have been a patient here for 4 or 5 years and service is always timely and professional. I was experiencing severe pain during a filling and Dr.Nguyen and her team member both were extremely sympathetic to my discomfort and accommodating. They truly went the extra mile for me, and I appreciate them for it. 10/10 would recommend.
