Dentures and Partials in Collingswood, NJ
Full dentures are designed for patients who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are a complete set of artificial teeth attached to a base that mimics the appearance of natural gums. Full dentures rest on the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesive.
Partial dentures are suitable for patients who still have some of their natural teeth. These dentures consist of one or more artificial teeth attached to a metal or plastic framework that clasps onto the remaining natural teeth. Partials fill the gaps left by missing teeth and help maintain the position of your other teeth.

The Process of Getting Dentures and Partials
Getting dentures or partials involves a few important steps to ensure the best fit and appearance.
- Initial Consultation: The journey to getting dentures or partials begins with an initial consultation at Dr. Wahl’s office. During this visit, Dr. Wahl will examine your mouth, discuss your dental history, and determine the best treatment plan for you.
- Taking Impressions: Once we establish a treatment plan, we will take impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions create a model of your mouth, ensuring that your dentures or partials fit perfectly.
- Fitting and Adjustments: When your custom dentures or partials are ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Wahl will place the dentures or partials in your mouth, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. It’s important that they fit well to avoid irritation and ensure functionality.
- Final Placement: After adjustments, you’ll take your new dentures or partials home. Dr. Wahl will provide instructions on how to care for your new dental appliances and schedule follow-up visits to ensure they continue to fit well and function properly.
