Full & partial dentures in Carson City, NV

Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding structures, with proper denture care being essential for their longevity and effectiveness. They restore function, improve aesthetics, and support oral health and hygiene by filling gaps that would otherwise affect chewing, speaking, and facial balance.

At Harmony Family Dentistry, we provide both full dentures for patients missing all teeth in an arch and partial dentures for those who still have some natural teeth. Unlike the dentures of decades past, today’s versions are lightweight, natural-looking, and custom-designed for comfort. Our Carson City dental team combines advanced technology with compassionate care to make sure your dentures fit securely and look beautiful.

Full dentures

Partial dentures

• Recommended for patients missing multiple teeth but not an entire arch.
• Anchored to existing natural teeth using clasps or precision attachments.

Implant-supported dentures

• Secured to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
• Prevent slipping and shifting often associated with traditional dentures.
• Offer improved chewing efficiency and comfort.
