From complete to partial dentures, we create custom-fitted restorations that restore the function, comfort, and confidence of your smile.
Missing multiple teeth can make everyday activities feel overwhelming. Simple tasks like eating your favorite foods or speaking clearly become sources of frustration, and the constant worry about your appearance can affect your confidence in social situations. At Church Family Dentistry, Dr. Will Church understands these challenges and provides personalized restorative dentistry solutions that restore both function and confidence to your smile.
With his training at UNC and commitment to advanced dental technology, Dr. Church offers comprehensive denture services in Durham that help patients rediscover the joy of a complete, functional smile. Unlike practices that rush through treatment planning, we take time to listen to your concerns and develop solutions that fit your needs and lifestyle.
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices made to replace missing teeth and fix your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Modern denture technology has evolved significantly, offering patients more comfortable and natural-looking options than ever before. Whether you’re missing all your teeth or just several in a row, there’s a denture solution designed specifically for your situation.
Custom-crafted to replace a full arch of missing teeth after your gum tissue has fully healed, providing a precise, snug fit over the gums.
Placed the same day as tooth extraction so you are not without teeth while your gum tissue heals, with a follow-up fitting for your final denture.
Fill in gaps created by several missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support and stability.
For patients who want additional stability, implant-supported dentures anchor your denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone, reducing movement and helping preserve bone density.
The materials used in modern dentures have also improved dramatically, with high-quality acrylic resins that mimic the appearance of natural gum tissue and porcelain or composite teeth that look remarkably realistic. At Church Family Dentistry, we use advanced smile design technology to ensure your dentures complement your facial features and look completely natural.
Dentures offer practical solutions for patients dealing with significant tooth loss. Beyond simply filling the gaps in your smile, they restore critical oral functions that many people take for granted. With properly fitted dentures, you can enjoy a varied diet again, pronouncing words clearly and smiling without self-consciousness.
The structural support dentures provide helps maintain your facial shape and prevents the sunken appearance that often develops after tooth loss. This facial support can take years off your appearance and boost your overall confidence. Additionally, dentures protect your remaining oral structures from the strain of compensating for missing teeth.
Modern dentures are more comfortable than ever before. With precise digital measurements and custom fitting, your dentures will feel natural in your mouth and function smoothly during daily activities. Many patients report that after a brief adjustment period, their dentures feel like a natural part of their smile.
Financially, dentures are an accessible solution for tooth replacement. Compared to other restorative options, they offer excellent value while still delivering impressive aesthetic and functional results. We offer multiple payment options, including Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed financing, to make your treatment affordable and accessible.
Your denture experience begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Durham office, where Dr. Church examines your oral health, discusses your goals, and recommends the most appropriate treatment approach.
Proper denture maintenance is essential for longevity and oral health. Take them out and rinse after eating to clear away food particles and debris. Clean them every day using a denture-specific cleaner or an ultrasonic cleaner, and our team also cleans your dentures at your regular visits.
When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in water or a denture-soaking solution to keep them from drying out and losing their shape. Never use hot water, as it can warp the material and affect the fit. Handle your dentures carefully over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage if they’re dropped.
Continue caring for your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth by gently brushing them each morning before inserting your dentures. This stimulates circulation and helps maintain healthy oral tissues. Regular dental checkups are important even with dentures, as Dr. Church needs to monitor your oral health and ensure your dentures continue fitting properly. If your dentures become loose, cracked, or uncomfortable over time, we also provide denture repair services to restore their fit.
Dr. Church’s approach to denture care centers on genuine listening and understanding your individual goals. Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all solution, he takes time to learn about your lifestyle, concerns, and expectations. This patient-first philosophy, combined with state-of-the-art technology including advanced cone beam imaging, ensures you receive the most precise and comfortable dentures possible. Our practice’s proximity to Duke Regional Hospital and convenient Durham location make accessing quality dental care simple and stress-free. We’ve built our reputation on creating lasting relationships with patients, measuring success not just by clinical outcomes but by the confidence restored in each person’s smile.
With flexible payment options and a commitment to making advanced dental care accessible, Church Family Dentistry removes financial barriers that might prevent you from getting the treatment you need. Our team takes care to explain all costs upfront and work with you to find a payment solution that fits your budget.

Full or complete dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures fill in gaps created by several missing teeth using your remaining natural teeth for support. We also offer immediate, or same-day, dentures placed right after extraction so you are never without teeth while your gums heal.
Dentures are a removable, non-permanent solution, though they can serve you for many years with proper fit and care. For patients who want additional stability, implant-supported dentures anchor to dental implants placed in the jawbone, reducing movement and helping preserve bone density.
Your denture experience begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Durham office, where Dr. Church examines your oral health and discusses your goals. If extractions are needed, we provide temporary dentures during healing, then take precise impressions before fitting your final dentures and reviewing care with you.
Take your dentures out and rinse them after eating, and clean them daily with a denture-specific or ultrasonic cleaner. When not wearing them, store your dentures in water or a denture-soaking solution rather than hot water, which can warp the material. Regular checkups at our Durham office let Dr. Church monitor your fit and overall oral health.
If your dentures become loose, cracked, or uncomfortable over time, we provide denture repair services to restore their fit. Regular dental checkups also allow Dr. Church to catch fit issues early, before they become more serious.
