Dentures in Winston-Salem, NC

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made, removable appliances that replace missing teeth and restore the look of a full, natural smile. Crafted to mimic the appearance of real teeth, they help enhance chewing, speaking, and overall comfort. This affordable and dependable solution is ideal for people who have lost several or all of their natural teeth.

At Encore Dental Studio, we provide a range of denture options to meet your needs:

• Full Dentures – Crafted to replace all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches.
• Partial Dentures – Ideal for filling spaces when you still have some natural teeth.
• Implant-Supported Dentures – A secure, stable choice that’s firmly held in place with dental implants.

Types of Dentures We Offer

Full Dentures

Full dentures, or complete dentures, are made to restore an entire set of missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. Carefully crafted for a natural look and secure fit, they help you chew, speak, and smile with confidence. In some cases, patients also explore other restorative options like dental bridges alongside full dentures for comprehensive care.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a great choice for individuals who still have some healthy natural teeth. They help fill in the gaps with a removable, secure appliance that enhances chewing and keeps the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. These can be a good complement to treatments such as inlays & onlays for restoring individual damaged teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a secure, advanced option compared to traditional dentures. Anchored by implants placed in the jawbone, they enhance comfort, improve chewing ability, and stay firmly in place without shifting. Many patients considering implant-supported dentures are also interested in combining their restorative work with cosmetic dentistry treatments for a complete smile makeover.
