Types of Dentures We Offer
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Whether you're missing all of your upper teeth, lower teeth, or both, a complete denture can restore your bite and facial appearance. Dr. Goodman custom-crafts each denture to fit securely and look natural for lasting comfort and confidence.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some healthy teeth. These removable restorations fill the gaps in your smile while preserving your remaining teeth. Each partial is tailored to match the color and shape of surrounding teeth, providing discreet and functional results.
Implant Dentures
For added stability, we offer dentures supported by dental implants. These restorations attach securely to small titanium posts placed in the jawbone, preventing slippage and eliminating the need for adhesives. Implant-supported dentures can be fixed or removable, depending on your preferences.
Are Dentures Right for You?
The best candidates for dentures typically have significant tooth loss that affects daily function and confidence. At our Kansas City practice, Dr. Goodman evaluates several key factors to ensure dentures are the right solution:
- Good Oral Health: Candidates should be free of active gum disease or untreated oral infections.
- Extensive Tooth Loss: Dentures are well-suited for individuals missing many or all of their teeth in one or both arches.
- Sufficient Jawbone Density: A healthy jawbone provides essential support for both traditional and implant-supported dentures, helping to ensure a stable, comfortable fit.
If you meet these criteria, Dr. Goodman can create a denture solution that restores your smile and improves your quality of life.

Locally Made Dentures & Quality You Can Trust
We partner with a trusted local dental lab that hand-finishes every denture for exceptional comfort, fit, and aesthetics. By using high-quality acrylic, our lab ensures durable, lifelike restorations that can last for years to come. This close collaboration allows us to oversee every detail and maintain fast turnaround times, typically just 2 to 3 weeks, so you can enjoy your new smile without unnecessary delays.
What to Expect During Treatment Traditional Dentures Explained
The process for traditional dentures typically begins with a thorough consultation and impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions guide the design of your custom dentures. Once the dentures are crafted by our local lab, we’ll schedule a fitting to ensure comfort and function. Adjustments can be made as needed to refine the fit, helping you speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
The Implant Denture Process Experience the Gold Standard
Implant-supported dentures offer superior stability and function, but the treatment process is more involved than traditional dentures. It begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Kansas City office, and imaging to map your jaw anatomy and confirm your candidacy. Once approved, Dr. Goodman will surgically place dental implants into your jawbone to serve as permanent anchors for your new denture.
After placement, the implants need time to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which typically takes three to six months. Then, the abutments can be attached. Once healing is complete, your final denture is securely connected to the implants for a natural look, secure bite, and restored function.
Though this process takes longer than traditional dentures, many patients find the added security and long-term oral health benefits to be well worth it.
Caring for Your Dentures Maintaining Your Smile for Years to Come
Traditional Dentures
To keep traditional dentures clean and functional, remove them daily for cleaning. Brush them gently with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser to remove plaque and debris. Always rinse them thoroughly and soak them overnight in a denture solution to maintain shape and moisture. Brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth before reinserting your denture each morning to support your oral health.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures require daily care to preserve both the prosthetic and the health of your gums and implants. Brush the denture using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Use floss or interdental brushes to clean around the implant abutments and under the denture. Regular dental checkups are also essential to ensure the implants and surrounding tissues remain healthy.
How Long Do Dentures Last?
/
Traditional dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Over time, your jaw and gum tissues can change shape, which may affect fit and function, requiring adjustments or replacements.
Implant-supported dentures offer a longer-term solution. While the denture may need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years due to normal wear, the titanium implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Routine dental visits and good hygiene are essential to extend the life of both traditional and implant-supported dentures.
Eating & Speaking in Comfort
Adjusting to dentures takes time, but most patients adapt with guidance and support. In the beginning, you may notice slight differences in how you chew or speak. This is perfectly normal. Eating softer foods or cutting food into smaller pieces can make meals more manageable during the adjustment phase. Over time, your tongue and cheeks will adapt, helping stabilize the dentures and improve function.
As for comfort, it’s common to feel mild soreness or pressure when you first wear new dentures. However, properly fitted dentures should not cause ongoing pain. If discomfort persists or you develop sore spots, contact our Kansas City dental office for an adjustment. With the right fit and care, your dentures can feel natural.
