Who are Dentures For?
Dentures are primarily for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury. They are a fantastic solution that brings back functionality and aesthetics, improving not only oral health but also boosting self-confidence. After all, a bright, full smile is always in fashion!
The Numerous Benefits of Dentures
Dentures come with numerous benefits. They restore the structure of your mouth, improving speech and eating abilities. High-quality dentures are also aesthetically pleasing, providing you with a natural-looking smile. This can significantly boost your confidence, enhancing your social interactions. Plus, dentures can prevent facial sagging due to loss of teeth, maintaining your facial structure. At Valley Dental, our expert team ensures your dentures are comfortable and perfectly tailored to your needs.
Did you know that George Washington, the first President of the United States, had dentures?
However, contrary to popular belief, his dentures were not made of wood but of ivory, human teeth, and other materials! (source)
Alternatives to Dentures
Dental implants are an alternative to dentures for replacing one tooth.
Dental bridges are an alternative for replacing just some teeth, or even all of them!
Partial dentures are also an option for someone who wants dentures, but just to replace a couple teeth.
Implants provide a more permanent solution as they’re inserted directly into the jawbone, offering improved stability and a natural feel. However, they come with a higher upfront cost. Dentures remain a cost-effective, non-invasive, and flexible option for many patients.

Hear From
Our Patients
I’ve had a lot of dental anxiety my entire life and recently decided to try changing dental offices. I am so happy I chose Valley Dental!
Dr. McCracken is so kind, funny and gentle. I was not shamed in any way for not coming in soon enough. The front desk staff and all the dental assistants are also so kind. It’s such a nice, calming atmosphere. I am no longer scared to go to the dentist! Thank you!
