Full Dentures:
Restoring Your Smile
Full dentures are a complete set of artificial teeth designed to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. At Rice Dentures in Childersburg, AL, we specialize in creating custom full dentures that fit comfortably and function effectively. Our team works with patients to ensure a seamless transition to dentures, providing guidance and support throughout the process. Full dentures not only restore your smile but also help maintain facial structure, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Partials:
A Flexible Solution
Partials, also known as partial dentures, are a great option for patients who still have some natural teeth. They are designed to fill gaps where teeth are missing, offering a less invasive alternative to full dentures. At Rice Dentures in Childersburg, AL, our partials are custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking appearance. The flexibility of partials allows for easy removal and cleaning, making them a convenient choice for those seeking a tailored solution for their dental needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw (or both), while partial dentures fill the gaps left by a few missing teeth and work alongside your remaining natural teeth. At Rice Dentures in Childersburg, AL, we custom-craft both options to match your existing smile.
How long do dentures and partials last?
With proper care, full dentures typically last 5–10 years, and partial dentures often last 5–7 years before relining or replacement is needed. Regular check-ups at Rice Dentures help us monitor fit and condition over time, since your jaw and gums naturally change shape.
Will my new dentures or partials look natural?
Yes. Our dentures and partials are custom-made to match the color, shape, and proportions of your existing teeth or your ideal smile. The goal is a result that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth — so most people won't be able to tell you're wearing them.
How long does it take to get used to wearing new dentures?
Most patients adjust within a few weeks. During the first days, you may notice extra saliva, slight soreness, or minor speech changes — all of which fade as the muscles in your mouth adapt. We'll provide tips and follow-up adjustments to make the transition as smooth as possible.
How do I care for my dentures or partials?
Remove and rinse them after eating, brush them daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser, and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material. We'll go over a complete care routine at your fitting appointment.

If you're missing some or all of your teeth and want an affordable, non-surgical way to restore your smile, dentures or partials may be ideal. Contact Rice Dentures in Childersburg, AL at (256) 935-2312 to schedule a consultation and find the best solution for your needs.
