How long do partials last?

There is no standard answer for this because several factors impact the life expectancy of your partials, including your bite and how well you care for your denture.

Do partials look natural?

Since partial dentures attach the prosthetic tooth/teeth to the neighboring teeth, it's obvious that it is not emerging from the gums. Metal cast partials have a metal framework, so they do not look as natural as fixed partials. Dentures with clear/pink clasps are more expensive than those with metal but look more natural.

Can you eat with partial dentures?

You can eat with most types of partial dentures. The only caveat to that is flipper teeth, which are cosmetic and not strong enough to eat with. When you first get your dentures, cut up foods into smaller bites and chew on both sides of your mouth to even out the pressure. Sticky, hard foods will be challenging.

How do partials stay in place?

Fixed partials and Maryland bridges are glued in with dental cement. Removable partials typically have clasps, or you can use denture adhesive to hold them in place.

How often should you visit the dentist with dentures?

When you first get your dentures, you may visit more often until they are adjusted to where they are comfortable. After that, like all patients, you will need to visit twice yearly for cleanings and check-ups.

Get Rid of Your Denture Problems

With implant-retained dentures, you don't have to worry about slippage or accidents.

It’s no secret: Traditional dentures aren’t perfect. They can become loose, uncomfortable, and shift around while you eat, talk, or smile.

That’s why we offer an alternative restoration. Implant-retained dentures use 2-6 dental implants to secure the full arch of teeth within your mouth.

You’ll eat your favorite foods again, speak clearly, boost your confidence, and significantly improve your quality of life.

Plus, implant-retained dentures preserve bone structure, benefiting your oral health and preventing premature aging.

Are you ready to take back your smile with an affordable, long-lasting solution?

Types of Implant-Retained Dentures We Offer

How It Works

The process for implant-retained dentures will vary. Find the scenario that best fits your case.

If you have any remaining teeth in your arch, here’s a general overview of what to expect:

Consultation: You’ll meet with one of our Salt Lake City dentists for a consultation. We’ll determine if dentures are right for you and go over all your treatment options – there may be more than dentures.

Exam: Once you decide, we’ll conduct a thorough exam to ensure you don’t have any oral health problems that need to be taken care of first, like gum disease.

Imaging: We’ll take a 3D digital image of your mouth with CBCT technology. This captures your gums, bone, tissues, and nerves to help us determine the best place for your implants.

Customization: We’ll also take an impression and photos to design your custom-made denture. You and your dentist can discuss the smile style you’d like, including the shade of white and tooth shape.

Test fit: Once the denture is made, we’ll have you come back to try it on and make sure it looks beautiful, fits comfortably, and functions harmoniously with your bite.

Place implants: We’ll remove your teeth and place your dental implants. You’ll leave our office wearing your new denture – just not secured to the implants until they’re healed.

Adjustments: After three months of healing, on average, we’ll uncover your implants and make any adjustments to your denture as needed.

Restore smile: Lastly, we’ll attach your denture to your implants. Once you and your dentist are happy with the result, your new smile will be ready to show off!

If you have a denture that isn’t compatible with implants and will need a new one, here’s a preview of what to expect:

I have honestly only had my initial interaction with them, x rays setting up a plan, things of that nature but so far this has been the best dental experience of my lifetime. Dr. Call was incredibly helpful, explaining things in greater detail than I’ve ever seen in dental practice, he identified issues I wanted corrected before I even said anything. (he had x rays to go off of) I am very much looking forward to working with him and have already begun recommending him to friends and family. I will update as I continue my journey with them but so far couldn’t speak highly enough about them all!

I have new insurance and wasn't sure where to go. Like everyone else, I viewed ratings for the best dentist and sure enough, Salt Lakers did not disappoint. The Legacy Dental Staff is like a well run machine. Everyone is nice, professional and knows what they are doing. The office is large but its not overwhelming and everyone knows, going to the dentist can be scary. Legacy is calm and welcoming and everyone is there to make sure your comfort is number one. And of course, every person for every step of my appointment was excellent. Dr. Campbell has a very gentle manner. I wish I had found this office years ago. Thank you!

This was my first time visiting Legacy Dental with Dr. Jonathan Campbell office.

I had a part of my old filling come off, and they were able to schedule me for the very next day, which I truly appreciated. I arrived on time and had completed the new patient paperwork online prior to my arrival. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed into a pleasant and professional environment. The front desk gal (Heather)already knew who I was and made me feel comfortable right away. Heather at the front desk was especially welcoming and helpful.

Shortly after checking in, I was taken to the operatory by the dental assistant, Keisha. She was excellent!!, knowledgeable, very communicative, personable, and attentive to my concerns before the doctor even came in.

Dr. Jonathan Campbell then performed the examination, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous about seeing a new dentist, but all my fears disappeared. He was gentle, efficient, and incredibly professional. Hands down, he is the best dentist I have ever had in my life.

I left the office feeling great and, surprisingly, actually enjoyed the visit—something I never thought I would say about a dental appointment.

I live in EM, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get there, but it is absolutely worth the drive to be seen by Dr. Campbell and his outstanding staff. Without a doubt, this is my dentist for life.

I have been going to Legacy Dental for 15 years, and they are amazing. Recently, I chipped a tooth and was messaging them on their app at 8:30 at night. They were responding and got me an appointment next day. I was able to meet Tina, who is an amazing assistant. She brought in Dr. Call to help, and they were an awesome team together. Humorous, good bedside manner, great conversationalists that made me feel at ease, and they fixed my smile. Brooke was awesome at getting me through insurance and billing, and extremely friendly. Thank you for continuing to provide exceptional service that goes way above and beyond.

Andy Larsen

I’ve had a fairly intense dental phobia for most of my life, that combined with years of addiction and severe depression really took a toll on my mouth and on my smile. Years ago I started the process of getting dentures with a different dentist and I had such a bad experience that I never wanted to set foot in another dental office again. Then last year when my remaining teeth started to fail, I reached out to Legacy Dental after seeing an add. At my first appointment Dr. H and his staff immediately put me at ease, there was no judgment and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. Throughout the entire process they were professional and they were friendly, and they took really good care of me.
Now here I am seven months later and I have my smile back, for the first time that I can remember I can smile confidently, and I can eat normally. And I owe it all to Legacy dental and the wonderful care that they provided.

I really enjoyed my experience here. From the dental assistants, to the hygienist, to Dr. Campbell himself. They did a great job on my teeth cleaning/exam and I really appreciated that Dr. Campbell took the time to go over everything with me thoroughly. He also went through several options with me and explained each in detail for certain needs that I had. I have full confidence in his professional work and the care he provides. Looking forward to my next visit. 👏

Recently visited Legacy Dental with a dental emergency. The team got me in same day and the staff was both courteous and professional. The doctor quickly assessed the issue and took me through my options in detail. The staff then helped arrange a follow up meeting with a partner clinic to treat my issue before I left. Thank you so much Legacy team, a very memorable and positive experience.

If you are one of those individuals who are apprehensive about dental procedures like me, this is the best place for you because Dr. Behlke is an incredible Dentist. He replaced several of my old fillings with precision care and my teeth look beautiful. Another plus I really liked is how the office is professional and easy to find.

I went in for Wisdom tooth pain. They had a last minute cancel and I got in there, same day! Which I was extremely thankful for cuz of the intense pain I was experiencing. I was in and out of there, WITH them being able to do the extraction, and X-ray in less than an hour! They were awesome! And! It was a fraction of the cost of what other offices were charging for the procedure. Especially cuz I don’t have insurance. Amazing staff, excellent dentist! 100/100 for me.

I love Legacy! They are everything you need and more. I've needed emergency dental work on a few occasions and they have always gotten me in same day, within the hour most of the time. Every single staff including dentists have been sweet and positive, and have always made me feel comfortable. I avoided going to the dentist most of my life, I just wish I would have known about them sooner.
