Dentures
For patients who need to replace all of their teeth, dentures are a functional solution that restores the ability to eat, speak, and smile. They're not the only option available today, but for the right patient they're a practical and effective choice.
At Burns Dentistry, dentures are custom made to replace missing teeth, restore everyday function, and help patients in Sun City and Sun City West feel more comfortable eating, speaking, and smiling.
If you're already wearing dentures and looking for something more stable and permanent, implant-supported treatments may be worth exploring first.
Custom made for your mouth.
Full and Partial Dentures
We offer both complete (full dentures) and partial dentures depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.
The right type depends on whether you are missing every tooth in an arch or still have healthy natural teeth that can help support a partial denture.
A complete denture replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch and rests on the gum line. A partial denture fills in where teeth are missing while anchoring to the natural teeth that remain. Both are custom designed to fit your mouth, match the look of natural teeth, and feel as comfortable as possible day to day.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth. They replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
The goal is to restore everyday function in a way that feels practical, as comfortable as possible, and appropriate for your situation.
Worth knowing before you decide.
Implant-Supported Options Are Worth a Look
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction, fit, or adhesive to stay in place. For patients who want more stability, implant-supported teeth attach to dental implants for added support. The result can be a more secure fit, better chewing function, and less slipping during everyday use.
We'll help you understand whether you're a candidate.
What the process looks like.
Getting Your Dentures Made
After any necessary tooth extractions, the jaw and gums may need time to heal before final measurements are taken. Your dentures are then custom realigned to fit your mouth. During your appointment, adjustments are made until everything feels right.
Comfort is always available.
Sedation Is an Option
If anxiety is part of the picture, sedation is available for any part of the process. Just let us know and we'll figure out what works best for you.

Dentures FAQs
What are dentures?
Dentures are custom dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. They can replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?
A complete denture replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch. A partial denture replaces several missing teeth while anchoring to the natural teeth that remain.
Are dentures removable?
Traditional full and partial dentures are removable. Implant-supported options may be removable or fixed, depending on your treatment plan and the type of results desired.
Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?
It depends on your situation. Traditional dentures can be a practical choice for many patients. Implant-supported dentures offer more stability and better chewing function for patients who are good candidates.
How long does it take to get dentures?
The timeline depends on whether extractions are needed, how your gums and jaw heal, and what type of denture is being made. During your appointment, we’ll explain the process before anything moves forward.
Will dentures feel natural?
Dentures are custom designed to fit your mouth and restore everyday function, but they can take time to get used to. Adjustments are made until the fit feels as comfortable as possible.
How do I care for dentures?
Clean your dentures daily, keep up with regular dental care, and follow the care instructions we provide. An annual oral cancer screening is recommended. Good denture care helps protect your gums and keep your smile looking and functioning its best.
