Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. Dentures and partials are designed to replace missing teeth and restore a more complete look and function. Many patients choose them because they can improve comfort, support clearer speech and help bring back confidence in social settings. At Eberhard Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist and team provide dentures and partials in Utica, Michigan, with a supportive, detail-focused approach. Dr. David Eberhard will help you understand your options and create a plan that fits your goals, your lifestyle and your timeline.
If you are new to tooth replacement, it is normal to have questions about fit, appearance and how the teeth will feel day to day. If you already wear dentures, you may be looking for a better fit or a more stable feel. We meet you where you are. Our goal is to help you feel informed and comfortable while working toward a result that looks natural and supports daily life.
What To Expect From Our Approach
Your visit begins with a conversation about what you want to improve. Our dentist will ask about comfort, sore spots, chewing challenges and any concerns about appearance. We also evaluate gum health and the support structures in the mouth, since these affect how dentures and partials fit and function. You will receive a clear explanation of what we see and how it connects to your options.
We focus on a calm, modern experience with clear guidance at every step. If you feel anxious, we will slow down, explain each part of the process and check in often. You can expect:
- A personalized plan based on how you want your smile to look and feel
- Detailed attention to comfort, bite balance and natural appearance
- Guidance for speaking, eating and adjusting after placement
- Ongoing follow-up to help maintain fit and long-term comfort
