Dentures
Dentures are used when a person is missing most or all of their natural teeth, making it essential that they are durable, natural looking, comfortable, and provide reliable long-term performance.
Dentures in Selah, WA
Dentures are prosthetic teeth set into a gum-colored base and are an effective option for patients missing most or all of their natural teeth. Tooth loss may result from injury or declining oral health, and dentures help restore comfortable chewing, clear speech, and daily function. They provide a reliable, easy-to-use solution for overcoming severe tooth loss and enjoying a more natural feel when eating and speaking.
At Selah Creek Dental, dentures are a core area of care. Treatment begins with a thorough oral exam and precise impressions to ensure a comfortable fit. Dentures are custom-crafted in a dental laboratory to create a natural-looking smile, then carefully adjusted to ensure proper function, comfort, and long-term performance.

Both are custom-made to match your smile and help restore chewing function and appearance. Dentures can also be supported by dental implants for greater stability and comfort.

How should I clean and care for my dentures?
