What Are Dentures and Dental Prosthesis
Removable Solutions for Multiple Missing Teeth
Dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base that rests on your gums and is held in place by suction, adhesives, or attachments to remaining teeth or implants. Modern dentures are custom-fitted to your mouth for improved comfort and appearance compared to traditional options.
At Imagine Your Smile in Woodbury, MN, Dr. Wilhelm creates personalized dentures using digital technology for precise fit and natural appearance. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth while full dentures replace an entire arch, and both can be enhanced with implant support for added stability.

Quality Living Restored
Benefits of Dentures and Dental Prosthesis
Custom dentures restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. These removable solutions give you back the freedom to enjoy life’s
simple pleasures.
Eat Your Favorite Foods Again
No more avoiding family dinners or special occasions because of missing teeth. With properly fitted dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and maintain the nutrition your body needs for better overall health.
Speak Clearly and Confidently
Missing teeth can make everyday conversations difficult and embarrassing. Dentures restore your ability to pronounce words clearly, helping you communicate naturally in social and professional settings without worry.
Smile Without Hesitation
Stop covering your mouth when you laugh or avoiding photos with family. Well-fitted dentures give you a complete, natural-looking smile that lets your personality shine through in every interaction.
Look Years Younger
Missing teeth can cause your face to appear sunken and aged. Dentures restore your facial structure and support, helping you maintain a more youthful appearance and boosting your self-confidence.
Maintain Your Social Life
Don’t let missing teeth keep you from enjoying time with friends and family. Dentures allow you to participate fully in social activities, from dinner parties to casual conversations, without feeling self-conscious.
Better Digestion and Health
When you can chew your food properly, your digestive system works more efficiently. This means better nutrient absorption and improved overall health, helping you feel more energetic and comfortable.
Professional Confidence at Work
Missing teeth can affect how others perceive you professionally. A complete smile helps you project confidence in meetings, presentations, and daily workplace interactions, supporting your career success.
Comfortable Daily Routine
Modern dentures are designed for comfort and ease of use. Once you adjust to them, they become a natural part of your daily routine, allowing you to focus on what matters most in life.
Preserve Remaining Teeth
When you have gaps in your smile, remaining teeth can shift and become damaged from overuse. Dentures help distribute chewing forces evenly, protecting your natural teeth for years to come.
Enhanced Overall Wellness
A complete smile contributes to better mental health and self-esteem. When you feel good about your appearance, it positively impacts every aspect of your life, from relationships to personal happiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dentures and Dental Prosthesis FAQs
Considering dentures at Imagine Your Smile in Woodbury, MN? We understand you have questions about this life-changing treatment. Below are answers to the most common concerns patients share with Dr. Wilhelm and our team.
How long do dentures typically last?
Modern dentures can last 5-7 years with proper care, though some patients enjoy theirs for much longer. At Imagine Your Smile, Dr. Wilhelm creates high-quality, custom-fit dentures using advanced digital technology. Regular check-ups help ensure your dentures continue fitting comfortably and functioning well throughout their lifespan.
Will my dentures look natural?
Absolutely. Dr. Wilhelm’s prosthodontic expertise ensures your dentures are custom-designed to complement your facial features and match your natural appearance. Using digital scanning technology, we create prosthetic teeth that are appropriately sized and shaped for your unique smile, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing dentures.
How long does the adjustment period take?
Most patients adjust to their new dentures within 2-4 weeks. During this time, you might experience minor soreness or difficulty with certain foods, which is completely normal. Our team provides detailed instructions and support throughout your adjustment period, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident with your new smile.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though there’s typically an adjustment period. Start with soft foods and gradually introduce firmer textures as you become comfortable. Many patients find they can enjoy most of their favorite foods again. For enhanced stability and stronger bite force, consider our implant-supported dentures option.
How do I care for my dentures?
Daily cleaning is essential for denture longevity and oral health. Remove and rinse them after meals, brush with denture cleaner daily, and soak overnight in denture solution. Never use regular toothpaste or harsh cleaners. Our team provides comprehensive care instructions and recommendations for the best cleaning products.
What's the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps where only some teeth are missing. Partial dentures use clasps or attachments to connect to your remaining natural teeth. Dr. Wilhelm will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best option for your oral health needs.
Are implant-supported dentures worth the investment?
Many patients find implant-supported dentures life-changing. They provide superior stability, prevent jawbone loss, and allow stronger bite force compared to traditional dentures. While the initial investment is higher, they often last longer and provide better quality of life. Dr. Wilhelm offers complimentary consultations to discuss your options.
Will dentures affect my speech?
Initially, you may notice slight changes in pronunciation, particularly with certain sounds. This is temporary as your tongue and muscles adapt to your new dentures. Most patients return to normal speech patterns within a few weeks. Reading aloud and practicing conversation helps accelerate this adjustment process.
Can dentures be repaired if they break?
Yes, most denture issues can be repaired. However, never attempt DIY fixes with household glues or adhesives, as these can damage the denture permanently. Contact our office immediately if your dentures crack, break, or become loose. We offer prompt repair services to minimize your time without teeth.
How much do custom dentures cost?
Denture costs vary based on your specific needs, materials chosen, and treatment complexity. At Imagine Your Smile, we provide transparent pricing during your consultation and offer multiple payment options, including financing through CareCredit. We believe quality dentures are an investment in your confidence and overall health.
