Dentures
Looking for dentures? Take advantage of the advances in dentistry that give modern dentures a better fit and a more natural look.
At Southern Dental Implant Center, our expertise and technology make poor-fitting dentures a relic of the past.
Discover how our dentists, serving Memphis, TN, and the Mid-South area, can restore confidence with removable or implant-supported dentures.
Explore Your Choices for Missing Teeth
Our Cordova practice offers multiple denture options for patients in Memphis and the Mid-South Area.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable. They are made with a gum-colored base and artificial teeth crafted to look like natural teeth. The dentures simply rest on your gums and are held in place with suction and a dental adhesive, if needed. Southern Dental Implant Center uses advanced technology to ensure a comfortable, precise fit for your dentures. Our attention to detail can give you a smile you are happy to share and a functional bite that will allow you to eat with confidence.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are the closest thing to having your natural teeth back. Unlike traditional dentures that you remove every night, implant-supported dentures stay in your mouth and can be cared for with brushing and flossing, just like your own teeth. They are held in place by dental implants, which are small titanium or zirconia posts placed in the jaw. The denture is then securely attached to the posts, eliminating any chance that they will slide or fall out.
Partial Dentures
If you aren't missing all your teeth, partial dentures might be the right choice for you. Compared with complete dentures, which restore a full arch of teeth, partial dentures can replace one or more teeth in each row. Our custom-tailored partial dentures usually include gum-colored bases and are held in place by clips that attach to neighboring natural teeth. Another option is to use dental implants to replace missing teeth throughout the mouth. Implants can support a crown (for a single tooth) or a dental bridge for spots where more than one tooth is missing.
Traditional Dentures vs. Implant-Supported Dentures
While today's traditional dentures offer a secure fit and are more affordable, many patients value the conveniences and long-term health benefits that implant-supported dentures offer.
Healthier Jawbone
Unlike traditional dentures, which accelerate bone loss, implant-supported dentures encourage your body to replenish the bone in your jaw and keep it strong.
A More Secure Denture
Implant-supported dentures will never embarrass you by slipping or falling out while chewing or speaking. They also offer a stronger bite than removable dentures.
Greater Comfort
As your jawbone deteriorates and recedes, your traditional dentures will no longer fit correctly. That will cause them to rub against your gums and cause pain.
Fewer Repairs
Traditional dentures will need to be repeatedly relined or replaced, but the reason isn't just because of wear and tear on your dentures. Without the stimulation of a tooth root or dental implant, the bone in your jaw will shrink and your denture will simply no longer fit the new shape of your jaw.Have Questions About Dentures?

Do You Lack the Bone Density for Implants?
You Have Options at Our Practice
Do you want the security that implant-supported dentures offer but have been told that you lack the bone density needed to support a full denture?
You may have another option for restoring your smile. The All-on-4® method is a newer implant technique that uses just four implant posts and requires less bone density to qualify as a candidate. Here at Southern Dental Implant Center, we have our own unique brand of implants called Smile XZ.
The dentists at Southern Dental Implant Center near Memphis have advanced training in this revolutionary technique and can determine if it's right for you.

Dr. Collier and his staff were the most pleasant professionals that I’ve come across in a long time. It’s nice to know that there’s actually great professionals in the dentistry industry. I can’t wait till Dr. Collier and his colleagues work what I’d call an overdue makeover on my smile. It was a pleasure to get to know that I’ll be in the hands of someone that I think is a caring and beautiful person, not only on the outside, but I feel a vibe that he’s an all around guy.

I absolutely love Southern Dental! I had a very bad experience at Memphis Dentures and Implants in Lakeland. I also had a horrible experience at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Arlington. These 2 dental practices are a scam! What they did almost killed me mentally! If you’re planning on getting implants or cosmetic dental work….this is the place to go! Dr.Collier and his staff are very professional and extremely kind!! Dr. Collier and his staff absolutely saved my life! I truly love them all!

Missing teeth can impact your quality of life. We do not want financial barriers to prevent patients from getting their smiles back. Here is how we make denture treatment more accessible at our Memphis, TN, dental practice.
Financing
Our practice accepts CareCredit®, which allows patients to finance the cost of their treatment in no or low-interest monthly payments.
Denture Candidacy
Have Significant Tooth Loss
Full dentures are best for patients missing most or all of their natural teeth; partial dentures can be a good option for those missing several teeth on an arch. If you are only missing one or two teeth, other options such as an implant-supported crown or bridge may be a better solution.
Have Sufficient Jawbone
Patients with jawbone deterioration may require preparatory bone grafting in order to qualify for implant-supported dentures. During your consultation at our Memphis, TN, practice, your dentist will determine if you have sufficient bone material for your chosen style of denture.
Are in Good Oral Health
Patients must be free from tooth decay and gum disease before treatment begins. This ensures a healthy foundation for your partial or complete dentures. Fortunately, patients can qualify for dentures once these common concerns are treated.
Do Not Use Tobacco Products
Tobacco use has been linked to numerous overall and oral health problems. It can also increase the risk of implant failure should you need dental implants, and can cause staining and yellowing of any remaining teeth. We always recommend you cease using all tobacco products to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

Taking care of removable dentures is relatively simple and best paired with good hygiene practices. You should brush your dentures daily and give them a deeper cleaning each night.
Avoid using normal toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hot water on dentures; they can damage or warp the material.
Soak your dentures in warm water or a dedicated cleaning solution each night, and then rinse them in the morning before putting them back in.
When removing or cleaning your dentures, have a towel or other soft material ready to cushion their fall if you drop them.
Brush your remaining teeth, gums, and tongue at least twice a day to keep them healthy and prevent bacteria buildup.
Ask our dentists which cleaning solutions and adhesives are compatible with your specific type of dentures.
If your dentures break or don’t fit as well as they used to, contact our Memphis-area office immediately. We can repair or replace your dentures for a more comfortable fit.
