Types of Dentures We Offer

At Montana Dental Works, we know that every smile and lifestyle is different, so your denture solution should be too. We take the time to walk you through all your options, answer your questions, and help you choose the fit, look, and function that feels right for you.

​

Full Dentures

If you’ve lost all your teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, full dentures can give you back a complete smile. These custom-made prosthetics rest comfortably over your gums, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

• Best for: Patients missing all teeth in an arch.

• Fit & Comfort: Crafted to match the shape of your mouth for a secure, natural feel.

• Extra Stability Option: Can be paired with dental implants to keep them locked in place while you chew and talk.

 

Partial Dentures

If you still have healthy natural teeth, partial dentures can fill in the spaces and restore a complete look without replacing every tooth. Replacement teeth are attached to a gum-colored base that blends in naturally, secured with discreet clasps or precision attachments.

• Best for: Patients missing several—but not all—teeth.

• Benefit: Helps keep your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

• Appearance: Designed to blend with your natural smile so no one can tell the difference.

 

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a game-changer for stability and comfort. Instead of relying solely on suction or adhesives, these dentures attach securely to 2–6 dental implants placed in your jawbone.

• Best for: Those who want a more secure, permanent-feeling option.

• Benefits: No slipping, clicking, or movement while eating or talking.

• Lifestyle Friendly: Smaller, more streamlined, and offer stronger chewing power than traditional dentures.

 

Immediate Dentures

No one wants to go without teeth—even for a short time. Immediate dentures are placed the same day your teeth are removed, so you can leave our office with a full smile.

• Benefit: Instant function and appearance after extractions.

• Note: As your gums heal and naturally change shape, adjustments or a new denture may be needed for the best fit.

 

Overdentures

Overdentures are designed to fit over a small number of remaining teeth or dental implants. When we can preserve your natural tooth roots, it helps maintain bone structure and a more natural feel when chewing.

• Best for: Patients with a few strong teeth or implants remaining.

• Benefit: Retains some of your natural oral structure, which can slow bone loss.

• Comfort: Provides a stable, secure fit while being easy to remove for cleaning.
