1. Denture Options We Offer in Albemarle
Full (Complete) Dentures
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They rest on your gums and are held in place by natural suction or a gentle adhesive. We craft them to look natural and fit comfortably.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill in gaps where some natural teeth remain. They clip onto adjacent teeth with small clasps and can be removed for cleaning. A partial helps keep your other teeth from shifting.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed the same day your remaining teeth are removed. You never have to go without teeth during the healing period. After your gums settle, we will reline or replace them for a better fit.

4. Dentures vs. Implants — Which Is Right for You?
We want you to choose the option that fits your health, budget, and lifestyle. Conventional dentures are removable and affordable. Implant overdentures snap onto dental implants for extra stability and bone preservation. Here is how they compare:

6. Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures in Albemarle
Does insurance cover dentures in Albemarle?
We welcome patients with any insurance plan. We're glad to file out-of-network claims on your behalf and help you make the most of your denture benefits toward reimbursement. We also offer CareCredit and Cherry financing for eligible patients.
How long do dentures last?
Conventional dentures typically last five to ten years with proper care. Changes in your jawbone over time may require relining or replacement. Regular checkups let us monitor fit and comfort.
Can I get dentures if I have gum disease?
Active gum disease needs to be treated before dentures can be placed. We provide gum therapy to restore oral health first. Once your gums are healthy, we can proceed with tooth replacement.
What happens if I don't replace missing teeth?
Leaving gaps can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, bite collapse, and difficulty eating nutritious food. Replacing missing teeth helps preserve your jaw structure and overall health.
Are affordable dentures a realistic option at Dogwood Family Dentistry?
Yes. We offer quality dentures at fair, transparent prices. Our flexible financing plans, including CareCredit and Cherry, make care manageable. We will discuss options that fit your budget without hidden fees.
