Dentures

Restore Your Smile and Confidence with Comfortable, Natural-Looking Dentures

Missing teeth can affect every part of your life – from how you eat and speak to how confident you feel when you smile. At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer custom dentures in Sikeston, MO that are comfortable, functional, and beautifully made to restore both your smile and your quality of life.

Whether you need a full set of teeth or just a few replaced, Dr. Sam Cox will work closely with you to design a solution that fits securely, looks natural, and feels like a true part of you.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They’re designed to mimic the look and function of natural teeth, helping patients regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Full dentures – Replace all teeth in the upper and/or lower arch
  • Partial dentures – Replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth

 

At Cox Family Dentistry, we create dentures that are custom-fit and tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and budget.

Demonstrating Proper Dental Care Technique with Dentures

Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when all of the teeth in an arch (top or bottom) are missing or need to be removed. These dentures rest on the gums and are held in place either by natural suction or with the help of denture adhesive.

You may receive:

  • Immediate dentures – Placed the same day as tooth extraction, allowing you to leave with teeth right away. These are typically temporary while your gums heal.
  • Conventional dentures – Custom-made and placed after healing is complete, offering the best long-term fit and comfort.

 

Dr. Cox will guide you through the healing and fitting process to ensure your dentures look great and feel natural.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are an excellent solution for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. These removable appliances include replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is secured in place with metal or flexible clasps.

Benefits of partial dentures include:

  • Preventing shifting of remaining teeth
  • Restoring function and appearance
  • Cost-effective solution for multiple missing teeth
  • Easy to remove and clean

 

Partial dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing smile and provide reliable function for eating and speaking.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For added stability and comfort, we also offer implant-supported dentures, which are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. These dentures offer:

  • Improved retention (no slipping or shifting)
  • Better chewing efficiency
  • Increased jawbone preservation
  • A more natural feel


Dr. Cox will determine whether you’re a candidate for implant-supported dentures and explain all available options during your consultation.

What to Expect During the Denture Process

Getting dentures is a step-by-step process, and we’re here to guide you through each phase with compassion and clear communication:

  1. Consultation & evaluation – We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of denture for you.
  2. Impressions & design – We take accurate impressions and measurements to create a custom fit.
  3. Fittings & adjustments – We’ll make sure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural, making adjustments as needed.
  4. Final placement & care instructions – Once your dentures are ready, we’ll walk you through how to wear, clean, and care for them.

Caring for Your Dentures

To keep your dentures looking and feeling their best:

  • Clean them daily with a denture brush and mild cleaner
  • Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution
  • Rinse after eating to remove food particles
  • Handle with care to avoid dropping or bending
  • Continue regular dental checkups to monitor your oral health


Proper care can extend the life of your dentures and protect your gums and remaining teeth.
