If you are missing most or all of your teeth, you likely struggle with everyday tasks, such as eating, speaking, and smiling confidently.
At Bear Creek Family Dental in Lakewood, CO, we can provide dentures which replace several teeth or an entire dental arch.
How have modern techniques improved dentures?

Custom Dentures Can Improve the Quality of Your Daily Life
Turn Back the Clock
Dr. Gregory Bauer can customize your dentures to complement the shape of your face and even take years off of your appearance.
Make Daily Tasks Easier
With a custom denture from our practice, you can experience a renewed ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile freely, improving your overall quality of life.
Benefit from Implants
Dr. Bauer can restore dental implants with a partial or full denture as well, allowing you to experience increased stability and improved oral health.
Dentures Defined
Dentures are made up of two parts: prosthetic teeth and a gum-colored plastic base.
At our Lakewood, CO, dental practice, our patients can choose from partial dentures, traditional removable dentures, and implant-supported dentures. While partial and full conventional dentures are held in place by clasps, dental adhesive, and natural suction, implant-supported dentures stay in place because they are secured to dental implants. For this reason, implant dentures fit, feel, and look more like your natural teeth.

Tooth Loss Is Very Common
Replace Your Old Restoration
Dentistry moves fast, and Dr. Bauer understands the importance of using the latest materials and technology in the creation of dentures. If you are unhappy with the look, feel, or fit of your old-fashioned dentures, it may be time to visit a modern dentist. Dr. Bauer can perform advanced imaging and collect detailed impressions to design a natural-looking, comfortable denture that better suits your needs.

Are You a Candidate for Dentures?
Traditional
In general, most patients with widespread tooth damage or tooth loss are good candidates for traditional restorations. If you have outstanding oral health concerns like gum disease or loose teeth, our dentist can perform the necessary procedures prior to beginning your restorative dentistry treatment.Implant-Supported
In order to receive implant-supported dentures, you should be healthy enough to undergo oral surgery. Because dental implants also increase the cost of treatment, you will also need to be willing to invest in your smile. Lastly, be prepared to commit to a longer treatment timeline.Do You Hate Going to the Dentist?
We understand that many patients dread going to the dentist, so we take several measures to ensure visitors feel welcome. Our patients regularly report that they feel extremely at ease while visiting our Lakewood office, and our practice has received over 100 5-star reviews on Google and other sites.
Dr. Bauer wants every one of your visits to Bear Creek Family Dental to be comfortable and relaxing so we offer sedation for lengthy procedures and patients who simply feel anxious. If there is anything that our team can do to promote your comfort, please do not hesitate to let us know.
