Dentures offer a reliable solution for individuals who have experienced significant tooth loss. Whether you need to replace several teeth or an entire arch, modern dentures are custom-designed to restore appearance, improve function and support your overall oral health. We provide personalized dentures in Staunton, VA, to help you eat, speak and smile with renewed confidence.
How Dentures Improve Your Daily Life
Tooth loss can affect more than just your smile. It can make daily tasks like eating and speaking more difficult, and may lead to shifting teeth, jawbone deterioration and a change in facial structure. Dentures are crafted to fit comfortably in your mouth while restoring your ability to chew properly and speak clearly.
Benefits of dentures include:
- Natural-looking design that enhances facial appearance
- Improved chewing and digestion
- Enhanced clarity of speech
- Support for facial muscles and structure
- Customized fit for greater comfort
Our team uses advanced technology to create dentures that align with your natural bite and facial features, making the experience more comfortable and the result more seamless.
Understanding the Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures available to meet different needs. At Companion Dental Care, our dentist and team offer a range of options based on your oral condition and goals for restoration.
Common types of dentures include:
- Complete Dentures: Designed for patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches. These rest directly on the gums and are custom made for a secure and natural fit.
- Partial Dentures: Ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. These fill in gaps and are typically secured using clasps that attach to existing teeth.
- Immediate Dentures: These are placed right after tooth extraction so patients are never without teeth. They may require adjustments as the mouth heals.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: A more permanent solution, these dentures are anchored by dental implants, offering superior stability and functionality.
Our dentist will guide you through each option and help determine which denture type suits your health, lifestyle and preferences best.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
Will I need adhesive to keep my dentures in place?
Some patients use denture adhesive for extra stability, especially when adjusting to new dentures. Proper fit often reduces the need for adhesives.
Can dentures stain like natural teeth?
Yes. Dentures can stain over time from foods, drinks or smoking. Regular cleaning and soaking help maintain their appearance.
How should I store dentures overnight?
Dentures should be kept in a denture-soaking solution or water overnight to maintain moisture and prevent warping.
