Full & Partial Dentures
in Fort Mill, SC
Restore Your Smile, Confidence, and Bite with Custom Dentures
When multiple teeth are missing, simple daily tasks like eating, speaking, or smiling can become more difficult. At Core Dentistry, we offer both full and partial dentures as effective, comfortable, and natural-looking solutions to tooth loss. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or an entire arch, we can design a custom prosthetic that restores your smile’s function and appearance.
Our team, led by Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, DMD FAGD and Dr. Erika Burley, DMD, provides personalized denture solutions backed by years of restorative dental expertise.
Types of Dentures We Offer
We provide a full range of removable and fixed denture options at our Fort Mill practice:
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. These are typically recommended for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.
- Upper dentures cover the roof of the mouth
- Lower dentures are shaped to fit along the jawbone
- Made from durable acrylic for comfort and realism
- Rely on suction or denture adhesive for stability
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. These dentures fill in the gaps with prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base.
- Held in place with metal or flexible clasps
- Help prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Customized for a secure, functional fit
- Easily removable for cleaning
We also offer advanced alternatives such as implant-supported dentures and digital dentures for enhanced comfort and precision.
What to Expect from the Denture Process
At Core Dentistry, our denture process is tailored to each patient’s needs:
- Consultation and Exam
We assess your oral health, bone structure, and discuss your goals. If any remaining teeth need to be removed, we’ll plan the timing of your dentures accordingly. - Impressions and Measurements
Using digital technology and intraoral scanning, we take accurate molds of your mouth to create a custom fit. - Denture Fabrication
Your dentures are crafted at a specialized lab using high-quality materials for comfort and durability. - Try-In and Adjustments
We ensure proper fit, alignment, and aesthetics before finalizing your denture. Adjustments are made as needed for optimal comfort. - Delivery and Care Instructions
Once you receive your dentures, we’ll provide care guidance and schedule follow-ups to ensure lasting results.
If you’re interested in more stable alternatives, we may discuss options like implant overdentures or All-on-4 dental implants.

FAQs About Dentures
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Over time, your gums and jawbone may change shape, requiring relines or replacements for the best fit.
Will my dentures look natural?
Yes. Our dentures are custom-designed to match your facial features, skin tone, and remaining teeth (if any), resulting in a natural-looking, confident smile.
Are dentures uncomfortable?
New dentures may take a short adjustment period, but they should not cause lasting discomfort. We take every measure to ensure a precise, secure fit.
Can I eat and speak normally with dentures?
Yes. Most patients regain full chewing and speaking ability. Partial dentures also help support speech by stabilizing your bite. We’ll guide you through the adjustment process.
How do I clean my dentures?
Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily with a denture brush and cleaner. Never use hot water or abrasive toothpaste. We'll provide detailed instructions at your fitting.
