For over 33 years, J. Bryson McBratney, D.D.S. has been helping patients in Anchorage maintain excellent oral health. His comfortable, yet professional dental practice is known throughout the Alaskan community for expert dental care and friendly service. One of Dr. McBratney’s many specialties includes dentures. Dentures, made to resemble natural teeth, are a convenient and removable replacement for missing teeth. 

Below are some basics on both complete and partial dentures from Anchorage’s favorite dentist:

• Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are used as a way to fully restore mouth function if you have lost all your teeth. Complete dentures are custom made to fit the unique shape and size of your mouth. They are removable, easy to clean, and may require a few fittings and adjustments with the dentist to get them just right.
• Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are utilized when one or more of your natural teeth are still in place. Instead of extracting your remaining teeth, partial dentures are custom made to fit alongside your existing teeth. Partial dentures can be removable or fixed with cement. When fixed, partial dentures use your natural teeth for support and leverage to stay in your mouth. 

Both partial and complete dentures look similar and consist of custom fabricated replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base made of plastic. With professional and well-fitting dentures, your smile will look natural and beautiful.
