Dr. Irvine on Dentures and Partials
I would treat a denture and making a denture just as we treat a cosmetic case. You have to get a good bite, you have to make sure that the teeth are positioned in a good spot for the smile, and we pick a good shade. And they can be quite aesthetic compared to what may be there that needs to come out.
You don’t want to keep teeth that are broken or teeth that are decayed or infected in the mouth because that’s not good for your overall health. So when those are removed, and the gums usually feel a lot better, and a denture can really look amazing. If you wanted to take it one step further and put implants underneath the denture, even two or four, just to help have a little extra retention and snap the denture on or screw the denture in.
Those are options also that are aesthetic and good for chewing. Dentures and partials are excellent to keep your face height. If a partial is something that some teeth are on there, but you still have some of your teeth, I think it’s good to replace the missing spaces so that you can chew better.
And the damaged teeth, broken teeth, decayed teeth, infected teeth aren’t good to keep in the mouth and would be better to be removed and have some sort of appliance that replaces those teeth so you can still chew and smile good.

Replace Your Missing Teeth With Beautiful Dentures
Your dentures options include:
- Partial Dentures – If you have some healthy teeth remaining, you may be a good fit for partial dentures. This removable appliance snaps into place and fills the gap in your smile.
- Full Dentures – You can replace an entire arch of teeth with full-arch dentures. These are customized to look natural in your mouth. You take them out at night to give your gums a break. They stay in place with suction and adhesive.
- Implant Dentures – Secure your dentures to implants for more lifelike function. You no longer have to use adhesive to keep your teeth in place. Your jaw also stays healthier because implants stimulate the bone the same way that natural tooth roots do.
If you opt for implants, you may need a procedure to prepare your jaw. Bone grafts rebuild the bone lost in your jaw. If you have more extensive bone loss, a ridge augmentation can reshape your jaw and gums to prepare for the placement of implants. Your dentist will discuss any necessary steps.

I wrote the following about a year ago and now I’m 89. I really can’t improve on what I wrote, unless I put it in BOLD, CAPS, AND UNDERLINED SCRIPT. This time, Dr. Irvine(I call her Dr Beauty!) actually driled through an implant to tighten it(then patched it flawlessly)and I didn’t even have novocane and felt nothing!!!! (now for last years’ post): She and her staff are the most friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and PAIN FREE of any dentists I’ve been to in my 88 years! I actually look forward to an enjoyable time when I go-HA!!! It’s like going to a party, with all the laughs and lovely faces around me!!! Joe Parascand

Dr. Irvine fixed a busted crown for me today and did her usual excellent job, i.e. no pain, well-explained, reasonable terms, with help from her courteous and always welcoming team (today it was Marciola; great job!). My wife and I feel lucky to have Dr. Irvine’s group available to us. Dr. Moran has to be one the best dentists in the area. She’s thorough, knowledgeable, technically savvy and friendly. My wife and I have relied on her for some 15 years now. She and Dr. Irvine (also very talented) have built a solid, customer-focused team. I would definitely recommend either dentist for your personal care.

Best practice in the area. The staff is well-educated and generous with their knowledge. Having an advocate for my teeth and gums was not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. Dr. Irvine is the absolute best dentist and Grace, the hygenist, is as amazing as the song says she is 😉. I couldn’t recommend a better office or group of people, from front desk to checkout, everyone is a rockstar!

Just returned from my first visit. It was great!! Highly professional and very friendly at every turn. Jeri, who cleaned my teeth, did an exceptional job. Really liked my previous dentist (of over 30 years), but he retired and prices had been going up quickly. Definitely recommend these folks. Just went today for my second cleaning. As before, it was a great experience. Jerilyn is amazing! Whatsherface the dentist too. The technology these folks have is amazing. If you don’t have a fantastic dentist, go to Providence Dentistry. 03/15/22 appointment. Again, a very pleasant experience at “The Dentist.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s really true.
P. D. (Verified Patient)
Trusted Providence Dentistry for over 5 years and have the utmost confidence in their professionalism and competence. Today Mauri did a great and thorough cleaning with a few X-rays. Dr. Irvine came in, checked me out and except for one problem tooth all is well. We trust and appreciate Providence Dentistry and the entire staff.

Visited just a few days ago to launch an Implant, and benefitted from a concise, yet thorough, explanation of what the process involves from Dr. Irvine’s personable and clearly competent Assistant, Jackie. I am impressed by the innovative utilization of technology and engineering in the preparation for, construction of and manner of firmly securing the implant. The amount of thought, time and planning involved in this important procedure, plus the obvious skill and caring of Dr. Irvine and her Team have, once again, occasioned my “Thank You” to the source of my initial referral to the practice!
K. R. (Verified Patient)
First time visit to Providence Dentistry and it was great! I was so impressed with ALL the staff, from the front desk staff to the hygienist, everyone was SO polite and nice! And Grace did a great job with ALL the steps involved with a first time visit!

R. M. (Verified Patient)
Oh My Gosh! Dr. Tori Irvine and her assistant Jackie, as well as the administrative staff…and everyone there are fantastic! I had a cavity in a wisdom tooth that was taken care of…that could have lead to an eventual root canal. No pain, sensation…or any kind of uncomfortableness. Dr. Irvine’s professional expertise is beyond description! How’s this: I walked out feeling my tooth was the same as before I walked in! Regardless of one’s stage in life, you could not go to a better dental practice!!!
D. K. (Verified Patient)
2025 update: Hygienist Emily performed a thorough cleaning, and I truly enjoyed interacting with her, as well as doctors Huh and Scott. 2024- Today, a beautiful in-house created porcelain crown was placed at the same visit as my tooth prep. Dr. Patel and assistant Sam couldn’t have been more kind and attentive!! I was also VERY comfortable with the neck pillow they gave to me. I am grateful to the entire Providence Dentistry staff. The front desk staff are also wonderful.
D. L. (Verified Patient)
Great service and the team was very helpful and friendly. Professional service with a smile
K. W. (Verified Patient)
Start to finish, my latest visit was a very positive experience! The receptionist was cheerful, as usual, and knew everything essential for my visit.

I don’t mind having a temporary crown, in fact that’s what I’m used too; and then getting regular crown later. Now a days crowns are done in the office with new technology, but with the new software I think Dr Irwin did the best she could. I’m glad if she wasn’t satisfied she wasn’t going to make it work. I’m OK waiting for new crown to be fixed off site. But; it was a long 3 hours with the whole ordeal. Mouth is sore; but I’m fine. I would recommend Providence Dentistry to my friends. Thanks We completed the crown today and it went well; with little or no problems. I feel good so far and Dr. Irwin did a good job. Tay her dental assistant also did a good job. I have a cleaning coming up on Nov1st. LETS DO IT!!!! My cleaning on the 9th was great with Emily. She does a great job!!! 12-3-24 I had a cleaning today with Emily and she was great. She is really the only one that cleans my teeth and I’m very satisfied with her expertise. She is also very personal and a nice person. 4/11/24 Had cleaning today and Emily was fantastic. She is personable, professional and kind. She knows her patients and remembers things about them, which always makes me feel good. I would recommend her to anyone, thanks Emily!!! Cleaning was good; Emily did good job. She observed an area that needs a filing. It will done in December at my next cleaning.
Dentures can replace either a few missing teeth or all your teeth, depending on your situation. We offer dentures in several styles to accommodate just about every patient. You can get partial or full conventional dentures that remove easily for cleaning, or you can stabilize your dentures with a set of dental implants for superior comfort and performance.
In general, most patients can expect their new dentures to be made in about one to two weeks. Some cases may take a little longer, and some a little shorter. You will then try them on to make sure they fit, and we’ll make any needed adjustments if they don’t. We can provide you with temporary dentures to wear while your final restorations are being made. That way, you don’t ever have to be without your teeth again.
Dentures can vary widely in cost, depending on the style you choose and your individual circumstances. We would need to examine you and develop some treatment options before we could give you an accurate estimate. We do offer third-party financing through CareCredit to make your dentures more accessible.
