Dentures in New Orleans

Missing teeth make it harder to eat, speak, and smile with confidence — and it changes the shape of your face over time. At Gleem Dental, modern full and partial dentures restore a complete, natural-looking smile with a fit that's more comfortable and secure than ever. Dr. Caylin Greene designs every denture with care in our Lakeview studio.

◦ A Complete Smile

Comfortable, natural
teeth, restored.

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. A full denture restores an entire arch, while a partial fills in the gaps — and today's digitally designed dentures fit better and look more natural than ever before.

Full Dentures

Replacing a Full Arch

When all the teeth in an upper or lower arch are missing, a full denture restores the entire row at once. It rests securely on your gums — and, for the upper arch, gently against the palate — recreating a complete smile and the ability to eat and speak with confidence.

Full Dentures Are Ideal For:

  • Replacing all teeth in an arch
  • Restoring facial support and structure
  • A removable, budget-friendly solution
Partial Dentures

Filling the Gaps

When some healthy teeth remain, a partial denture replaces just the missing ones. It clasps discreetly onto your natural teeth for support, filling gaps and preventing remaining teeth from shifting — all while staying fully removable for easy cleaning.

Partial Dentures Are Ideal For:

  • Replacing several missing teeth
  • Preserving your healthy natural teeth
  • Keeping remaining teeth from shifting

Every denture is customized to your smile, bite, and comfort — with an adjustment period supported at every step.

◦ Weighing Options

Full vs.
Partial Dentures.

Both restore your smile, but which one is right for you depends on how many teeth you're missing. Here's how full and partial dentures compare.

◦ Your Journey

The path to your new smile.

Getting comfortable, natural-looking dentures is a guided process — and we walk you through each step, from first impression to final fit.

01

Consultation

Dr. Greene examines your gums, remaining teeth, and bite, discusses whether a full or partial denture fits your needs, and answers every question before any work begins.

02

Impressions

We capture detailed digital scans and impressions of your arch. These measurements are the blueprint for a denture that fits snugly and distributes pressure evenly.

03

Design & Try-In

Your denture is crafted to the exact shade, shape, and proportions we planned together. A try-in lets us refine the look and feel before it's finalized.

04

Fitting & Follow-Up

We deliver your finished denture, fine-tune the fit, and review care. As your mouth settles during the adjustment period, we make any tweaks needed for lasting comfort.

◦ Frequently asked

Questions,
answered.

01

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?

A full denture replaces every tooth in an upper or lower arch and rests directly on your gums. A partial denture replaces only some missing teeth and clasps onto your remaining natural teeth for support, filling the gaps while keeping your healthy teeth in place. Dr. Greene helps you choose the right option based on how many teeth remain.
02

Is there an adjustment period with new dentures?

Yes. It's normal for new dentures to feel bulky or to affect speech and eating for the first few weeks while your mouth adapts. Minor sore spots can occur as your gums settle, and we'll make small adjustments to fine-tune the fit. Most patients feel comfortable and confident within a few weeks.
03

How do I care for my dentures?

Remove and rinse your dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser, and soak them overnight to keep them from drying out. Continue cleaning your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth as well. Regular checkups let us confirm the fit stays correct over time.
04

How long do dentures last?

With good care, dentures typically last five to ten years. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change shape, which can loosen the fit — so periodic relines or a replacement may be needed. Routine visits let us catch fit issues early and keep your smile comfortable and secure.
05

Are there more stable alternatives to removable dentures?

Yes. If you'd like a denture that doesn't move or require adhesives, ask us about implant-supported dentures, which anchor securely to dental implants for added stability, comfort, and confidence when eating and speaking.
