We design dentures to complement your features, your face shape, and your skin tone.

Like other types of dentistry, dentures have received a huge boost in comfort, fit, and quality from advancements in technology. Today’s dentures are designed specifically for you. They will fit the contours of your mouth and complement the size, shape, and structure of your face. We take great pride in offering modern dentures to Charleston patients, and our dentists, Dr. Weir and Dr. Thomas, will work closely with you to ensure that your new dentures exceed your expectations.

Types of Dentures & Partials

We can design several different styles of dentures. Which type will be right for you will depend on a number of factors, including whether you still have remaining healthy teeth. When you consult with your dentist, he will take all of these factors into account when providing his professional recommendation

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are a removable prosthesis that enables a patient to talk, chew, and smile more confidently. We can craft dentures for either your upper or your lower jaws (or both!). They are usually made of acrylic, and we design dentures to look natural.

Partial Dentures

Like complete dentures, partials are removable. Instead of replacing all the teeth on an arch, they replace areas of missing teeth. The partial fits around the remaining teeth and is often held in place by clasps that fit around healthy teeth.

Partials are often the most affordable option for someone who is missing a few teeth.

Implant-Retained Over-dentures

While denture technology has come a long way, dentures can sometimes slip or move, especially full dentures placed on the lower arch. You no longer have to just put up with this situation, however!

We can strategically place small dental implants in a few key areas of your mouth and then design dentures that quite literally lock into place over the implants for added security and comfort. Your dentures will stay in place, allowing you to speak and chew foods with confidence.

Caring for Dentures & Partials

Because dentures are removable, they do require a little extra care to keep them in great shape. Your dentist will review your full care instructions with you, but you’ll want to keep in mind a few basics:

  • Never use hot water to clean your dentures or store them in direct sunlight. Heat can warp your dentures.
  • Use cleaners and brushes specifically designed for dentures. Regular toothpaste (especially those that claim to whiten teeth) can be abrasive and damage the finish on your dentures.
  • Make sure to clean and rinse your denture every day to keep it fresh and free from bacteria.
  • Don’t attempt to adjust your denture on your own. If you feel like it isn’t fitting quite right or it’s rubbing an area, please call our office right away so that we can get you in and check the fit for you.

Best dentist ever!!! James Thomas always provides the best service for my family and I. His staff is top notch and there is nowhere else I’d go for routine service and the bigger issues that arise.

This dental office combines a high level of professional care with the right personal touch. It is consistently demonstrated by the dentist, hygienists, assistants and office management. I would suggest more feedback from the dentist even when things are not problematic. I would like to know what else to be aware of as an aging patient in how to be more preventative and proactive in addition to brushing and flossing.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Thomas for about 8+ years now. Everyone from the front office staff, the hygienist, and Dr. Thomas have been wonderful without exception. I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend his practice.

Will my dentures look natural?2021-08-11T20:43:46+00:00

Today’s dentures, optimized for fit and comfort, also have aesthetic appeal. Designed specifically for you, they look just like your natural teeth.

At James Island Dental Associates, our dentists work closely with you and the denture preparation lab to exceed your expectations. Our denture patients are always surprised by the comfort, fit, and natural look of their new dentures.

Types of dentures we offer include:

  • Complete Dentures – customized to fit your mouth, give you an entire mouth of removable but natural-looking teeth and gums.
  • Partial Dentures – much like complete dentures, partial dentures are removable. They fit the contours of your mouth and fill in the spaces where teeth are missing. Partials may fit by clasps around healthy teeth.
  • Implant-Retained Over Dentures – these also look very natural, but they have the added benefit of not slipping because they are held in place with dental implant posts.

Caring for Dentures

Caring for dentures requires cleaning and regular dental visits to assess teeth, gums, and for denture adjustments or relines.

Tips for maintaining your dentures at home include:

  • Cleaning in cool water only
  • Using only cleaners and supplies recommended for dentures
  • Seeing your dentist for realignments and assessments
