Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable appliance custom made for your mouth, so you can eat, speak and smile with more comfort and confidence. This page is for Suwanee patients who are missing some or all of their teeth and want an honest look at full dentures, partial dentures and implant-supported options before deciding what fits their life and budget.
Custom Dentures in Suwanee
At B-You! Dentistry, Dr. Tan Bui starts every denture conversation with an exam, digital X-rays and photos of your mouth shown on the screen in front of you. You see what he sees, and he explains each option in plain language before you choose anything. The American Dental Association notes that dentures are one of several ways to replace missing teeth and restore normal chewing and speech (MouthHealthy, ADA).
Dr. Bui is a general dentist and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who holds membership in the ADA and the AGD. He completes continuing education most years to keep his skills current across restorative and implant dentistry. Read more about his background on the meet Dr. Bui page.
Which Type of Denture Fits You
Not every patient needs the same solution. Here is how the main options compare.
Full Dentures
Replace a complete upper or lower arch when most or all teeth in that arch are gone. Made from impressions of your gums so the shape matches your mouth.
Partial Dentures
Fill in one or several missing teeth while your remaining healthy teeth stay in place. A partial keeps neighboring teeth from shifting and helps your bite work the way it should.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Attach to dental implants placed in the jaw for a denture that holds steady while you eat and talk. Ask Dr. Bui if you are a candidate.
Your Denture Visit, Step by Step
Step 1: Exam and conversation. Dr. Bui checks your gums and any remaining teeth, reviews digital X-rays with you, and talks through which type of denture matches your mouth and your goals.
Step 2: Impressions and planning. We take impressions and measurements and talk through tooth shape and shade together, so the final result looks like your smile, not a generic one.
Step 3: Fitting. Once your denture is ready, Dr. Bui fits it carefully and checks your bite. A small adjustment or two in the weeks after is a normal part of the process as your mouth gets used to it.
Step 4: Learning to wear and care for your denture. You leave with clear instructions on inserting, removing and cleaning your denture, plus what to think about with eating and speaking at first.
Step 5: Staying on track. Dr. Bui recommends a schedule for checkups so your denture, gums and any remaining teeth stay healthy over time. Many denture patients add a hygiene visit to this schedule for the teeth and gum tissue that remain.
Dentures or Dental Implants
Dentures are a well established way to replace missing teeth without surgery. Implant-supported dentures hold more firmly because they anchor to implants in the jawbone. Many patients start with a removable denture and add implant support later once they are ready. Dr. Bui lays out both paths honestly at your visit, including what your plan may cover. The ADA explains that dental implants are designed to support a replacement tooth or a full set of teeth and function much like natural tooth roots (MouthHealthy, ADA).

Denture FAQs: Suwanee, GA
How long does getting dentures take?
Because each denture is custom made from your own impressions, the process usually takes several short visits over a few weeks. Dr. Bui gives you a clear timeline at your consultation.
Will my denture look natural?
Yes. You choose the tooth shape and shade together with Dr. Bui so the finished denture matches your face and the smile you want.
Can I eat normally with a denture?
Most patients adjust and return to normal eating over time. Implant-supported dentures offer a firmer bite for patients who struggle with harder foods in a removable denture.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Many PPO plans cover part of denture treatment. Our team can go over your benefits with you and explains your costs before any treatment starts. See our insurance and financing page for the plans we accept.
My current denture feels loose or sore. What should I do?
Come in so Dr. Bui can take a look. An adjustment or a reline often solves the problem, and if slipping keeps happening, implant support may be a solution worth discussing.
What if I am missing teeth and in pain right now?
If you have a broken tooth, infection or severe pain, call us and we will get you seen. Visit our emergency dental care page for what to think about until your appointment, then let's talk about a longer term denture or implant plan once things settle down.
