Dentures have been used for centuries to help replace missing teeth for people of all ages. Our dentists and team offer partial and full dentures in Jefferson City, MO, to improve and maintain your appearance and oral functions.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch. They rest on the gum tissue and are held in place by suction or denture adhesive. Modern full dentures are crafted from high-quality materials that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain. They typically feature replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, connected by a metal framework with clasps that attach to your natural teeth for stability.

The Denture Process
Getting dentures typically involves several appointments. Dr. Jason A. Dunville or Dr. Hayley Mathie will take impressions and measurements of your jaw, then work with you to select the right shape, color and arrangement of teeth. After fabrication, your dentures are carefully fitted and adjusted for comfort. Follow-up visits ensure the fit remains comfortable as your mouth adapts.
