We offer many tooth replacement options like Implants, Crowns, and Dentures.
If you struggle to form certain words or chew food because of missing teeth, it’s time to seek out help from our Hudsonville denture dentists. Available in full or partial options, dentures are removable false teeth you wear during the day to regain both appearance and functionality. Our dentists can help you determine what type of dentures you need based on your oral health. For example, you may only need a partial denture to replace a few upper teeth.

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every smile is unique, which is why we offer several treatment options tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Whether you’re missing two teeth or require a complete set of dentures following tooth extraction, our dentists will carefully evaluate your situation and discuss the best path forward in detail.
For example, while dental implants might be ideal for some and we can certainly provide you with implant-supported dentures, others may find a more traditional style of dentures to be a better fit for their lifestyle.
At Hudsonville Dental, we can set you up with:
If, at any point, you think you would feel self-conscious or embarrassed about people noticing your missing teeth, ask our dentists about getting immediate dentures. Like the name suggests, immediate dentures are given to you right after tooth extraction.

However, since immediate dentures are made prior to pulling teeth, it’s expected that you’ll need to see our dentists to adjust the fit. Once your bones and gums shrink and heal, our dentists will need to adjust the fit again. Immediate dentures are only meant to be temporary and work well in the short term until we have given you your final dentures.
Also referred to as complete dentures, full dentures are custom-made a few months after teeth are removed, once all has healed. As a result, you can expect your conventional dentures to fit comfortably and need less adjusting over time.
A patient might need full dentures if they are missing all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw, or both. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as advanced gum disease, extensive tooth decay, or injury. When there are no remaining natural teeth, full dentures help maintain the structure of the face as well as allow patients to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Partial dentures can be used for any type of tooth replacement, such as molars, incisors, or canines. It’s a misconception that you need to have an entire arch of missing teeth in order to be a candidate for dentures.
In addition to enhancing your bite and overall comfort, partial dentures also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can occur when there are gaps in your smile. Custom-made to fit your mouth, partial dentures are a practical and cost-effective solution for those looking to replace missing teeth without needing a full set of dentures or dental implants.
A modern and secure option for patients seeking a more stable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are a combination of false teeth and dental implants. The surgically placed posts act like artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for the denture to snap onto, ensuring a secure fit without the need for adhesives.
One of the biggest benefits of implant-supported dentures is their ability to preserve the jawbone. When teeth are lost, the jawbone can deteriorate over time, but implants stimulate the bone, helping to maintain its density and structure. Ideal for patients with adequate bone mass in their jaw, implant-supported dentures provide a long-lasting solution that can feel more natural than traditional options.
During your appointment, our dentists will need to take impressions of your teeth to send to the lab. When you return to our office a few weeks later, your dentures will be ready. Our dentists will make sure the color, size, and shape of the denture(s) match the rest of your smile. They’ll also check the fit to make sure you can wear the restoration comfortably without issues.
Take care of your dentures like you would natural teeth. You’ll need to continue practicing good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once daily. When your false teeth aren’t in your mouth, you’ll need to submerge them in a glass of water or denture cleanser. Otherwise, your dentures will crack and warp if you let them dry out.
