Dentures & Partials An Overview
Replacing your missing teeth is essential for restoring your oral health and daily quality of life. Missing teeth can impact your speech and ability to enjoy a healthy diet and can begin to diminish your quality of life. Woodlawn, MD dentist Dr. Byron Desbordes offers patients a range of treatment options to replace a full arch or full mouth of missing teeth.
Dentures and partial dentures have long been used to replace the upper, lower, or both arches of teeth. With advancements in dental technology, dentures are now more natural-looking and feeling. Dentures can also be permanently secured with dental implants for more stable long-term oral health.
Dentures in our Baltimore Dentist Office
- Full dentures: a full denture can replace a full arch of upper or lower teeth. Dentures can be removable or fixed with dental implants
- Partial dentures: a partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth and can also be fixed using dental implants for a more permanent result.
- Implant-secured dentures: using strategically placed dental implants a denture can be secured for the most natural-looking and functioning result. Dental implant-secured dentures can help retain the full function of the jaw and bite. Dr. Desbordes may work with a local oral surgeon to provide patients with optimal dental implant results.

Dentures & Partials What to Expect
Dr. Desbordes will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health and discuss your personal concerns and goals during an initial consultation to determine if dentures are the best option for replacing your missing teeth. Your treatment plan will be determined by your oral health, lifestyle, budget, and number and placement of missing teeth. Dr. Desbordes may recommend using implant-supported dentures, or “all-on-four”, because of the many long-term oral health benefits they offer patients.
In just a few visits to our Woodlawn, MD dentist office, Dr. Desbordes can have you fitted with your new dentures. Whether you choose removable or implant-secured dentures, Dr. Desbordes will begin your procedure by taking dental impressions.
Once your impressions are created, they will be sent to our local dental lab to be fabricated into your custom-designed denture. Once fabricated, Dr. Desbordes will help you adjust your denture to ensure a proper fit for full function and pleasing aesthetic results.
