Missing teeth change how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. Modern dentures restore all of it with a custom-made, natural-looking replacement that fits comfortably and functions well. At Western Piedmont Dental, serving Connelly Springs, NC and Rutherford College, NC, we take the time to get the fit right so your dentures work for you from day one.
Today's dentures are a long way from the bulky, obvious plates of the past. Modern materials and careful fitting produce dentures that look natural, hold your facial structure in place, and let you eat and speak with confidence.
Whether you are missing all of your teeth or just a few, there is a denture solution to fit. Complete dentures replace a full arch, partial dentures fill in around remaining natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures add a level of stability that removable dentures alone cannot match.
From impressions to final fit and follow-up adjustments, every step is handled carefully at our Connelly Springs office, an easy drive from Rutherford College and Valdese, to make sure your dentures work comfortably.
Dentures can be stabilized with a few dental implants so they snap firmly into place rather than relying on suction or adhesive. Patients with this option report dramatically better confidence while eating and speaking.
A careful, patient fitting process and honest guidance on every option, including implant support.
We take the time to get your dentures fitting comfortably and looking natural, with follow-up adjustments included so any sore spots are resolved.
Modern denture teeth are shaped and shaded to suit your features, and a well-fitted denture supports the face to prevent a sunken look.

From conventional dentures to implant-supported solutions, we explain the trade-offs clearly so you can choose what genuinely fits your needs and budget.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of complete and partial dentures. Our front desk verifies your benefits and provides a clear estimate before treatment, and we offer flexible payment options for patients without insurance so a functional, natural-looking smile stays affordable.
Getting dentures is a step-by-step process focused on comfort and a natural result.
We examine your mouth, take detailed impressions of your ridges, and discuss which type of denture best suits your situation.
For most cases, a wax try-in lets you preview the look and fit and request adjustments before the denture is finalized.
Your finished denture is delivered, the fit is checked, and initial adjustments are made. We send you home with care instructions.
Follow-up visits resolve any sore spots, and over time we reline the denture as your bone naturally changes shape, keeping the fit secure.
Conventional removable dentures restore your smile and ability to eat at the lowest upfront cost. The trade-off is that they rest on the gums, can shift, and do not prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss. Over time, as the bone changes, they need relining to stay snug.
Dental implants prevent that bone loss by replacing the tooth root itself, and implant-supported dentures combine the two, a few implants hold the denture firmly in place so it does not slip. For many patients this is the sweet spot between cost and stability.
We walk you through all of it honestly, from conventional dentures to full implant solutions, so you can choose the option that fits your priorities and budget.
Lowest upfront cost, removable, rest on the gums.

Yes. Modern dentures use natural tooth shapes and shades chosen to suit your features. A well-fitted denture also supports your facial tissues, preventing the sunken look that old, poor-fitting dentures cause.
Most patients eat a wide range of foods comfortably after an adjustment period. Start with soft foods and chew evenly on both sides. Implant-supported dentures provide noticeably better chewing stability.
With proper care, five to ten years before replacement is typically needed. Even well-maintained dentures need relining every few years as the underlying bone changes shape.
Remove them at night, rinse after eating, and brush daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive. Soak them overnight in water or denture solution.
Yes. Implant-supported dentures snap onto implants for far better stability, and fixed implant bridges replace a full arch with no removable part. We discuss all options at your consultation.
