Dentures and Partials
Missing teeth can significantly affect your life and your health. Living without teeth is not an option for most people, so you need to replace them. When you need to replace several teeth, a denture or a partial denture is often the best choice. A full denture replaces all your upper and/or lower teeth. If you still have some of your natural teeth, you can get a partial denture to replace just the ones you are missing.
Losing your teeth is not a natural part of aging, and can lead to significant health consequences, especially for older adults. Fortunately, good hygiene is allowing more people to keep their natural teeth longer. However, you eventually may need dentures.
Benefits of Dentures and Partials
Dentures have developed somewhat of a bad reputation over the years, but the reality for millions of people is that dentures provide the ability to chew, maintain facial volume, smile and talk when your natural teeth are gone. With many new advances in denture technology, they look and feel more natural and comfortable than ever before.
Dentures provide many benefits to those who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. They:
- Help restore lost facial volume, so you can avoid sunken cheeks
- Allow you to smile without feeling self-conscious about missing some or all of your teeth
- Prevent your remaining teeth from shifting around inside your mouth, which can necessitate more extensive dental work in the future
- Protect and strengthen your gums and jaw
Without teeth, even if you are able to get all your nutrients from liquids, your jawbone and gums will weaken, which can lead to other health consequences.
Dentures from Skilled Cosmetic Dentists
Our cosmetic dentists at Young Family Dental can help you understand all your tooth replacement options for missing teeth, and help you decide which denture option will work best based on your individual needs. They can fit you for a full or partial denture that is secure in your mouth for the utmost comfort and optimal cosmetic results.

Kindest people here 🖤🖤🖤read moreread lessOur family has all had great experiences with Young Family Dental in American Fork. They have been easy to work with (especially when it comes to scheduling).

- Dr Gervasi is phenomenal. He went above and beyond. He made sure we knew our options to keep a tooth instead of other dentists always saying to pull it out. We appreciate knowing when it'd be best to do an implant. Options for young people matters. Long term success is key. Thank you for your competency, time, and service. What a combination. Btittanie made it happen last minute. What a great experience. This made Young Family Dental look GREAT to everyone who hears the story of a last minute appointment. Thank you. Again and again.read moreread lessFor a consultation appointment, it was pretty backed up, but after going to ask them about time, I was seen.
However, going for my fillings, I felt like the gentlemen who was my dentist did a great job. I liked how he worked & he was pretty thorough about making sure my bite was done well.read moreread lessUpdate: The Office Manager reached out promptly and quickly resolved the situation. I really appreciate the resolution and would like to continue to use this practice in the future.
I am really sad to be writing this review. After finally finding a dentists office that I love with friendly staff, my family and I are now searching for a new dentist. I’ve been going to Young Family since April 2025. I received a cleaning then, and another in October 2025. Then 6 months later, received an April 2026 cleaning. However, my April 2026 cleaning was scheduled for 1 week before my annual frequency requirement from my insurance (1 cleaning every 6 months and no more than 2 in a calendar year). I was offered this time by Young Family and was told it was 6 months from my last appointment, so I was good.
Insurance denied my April 2026 cleaning because my appointment was scheduled 9 days too early. I now owe $130 to Young Family. I am frustrated because I am now on the hook for the office’s scheduling mistake while also playing middleman between them and my insurance. My insurance is claiming that it’s clear to the provider on the frequency of my cleanings, while Young Family is claiming that the frequency was unclear. I was offered no apologies by Young Family. Instead, I was told that I could pay just $70 instead of the $130. They did admit that the scheduling was an error, but that was it. I am now writing an appeals letter to insurance while debating putting this bill on a credit card to avoid being sent to collections. We are currently on 1 tight income due to my spouse being in school full time and just having a new baby in May 2026. Really frustrated but mainly sad that I have to now find a new dentist for me and my family.read moreread less - We love Young Family Dental. We've gone here for years. Jacqueline is always my hygienist and she's the best!! I'm so happy that they take Medicaid and are still a high quality facility! I recommend them. The only drawback i can think of is that i needed to take my child to a different facility to get anesthesia included for free during wisdom teeth removal.
This happened with two kids, and both times, the kids records didn't transfer without some extra effort on my part.read moreread lessDr Pung was nothing short of amazing. I’ve had some seriously rough dental experiences and without even knowing how freaked I was, he was so funny, kind, and explained everything to me. Can’t recommend him and my hygienist, whit enough!! Whit was so personable, gentle, and went above and beyond when I told her about my teeth sensitivity. She went out of her way to find products throughout the office that would ease the sensitivity during my cleaning and then explained in detail everything I needed to get at the store, what actives to look for, etc to help with my teeth. Meeting them was accidental since I live in AF and thought I had made an appointment closer to home but I am so grateful the stars aligned to come to this office! I hate the dentist everyone. But not these guys!! I’m taking them with me wherever I go 🤣read moreread lessI was so nervous to get dentures. I called quite a few places before I called young family dental. I finally chose them.

I can’t say enough about how professional he is.
I’ve had several issues with my teeth and gums, and Dr. Wood consistently went the extra mile to take care of me. He made sure I was pain-free and that every procedure was done thoroughly and correctly.
I would highly recommend Dr. Wood as your personal dentist. His customer service skills are outstanding, but most importantly, he truly cared about me as a person and about the challenges I was facing with my teeth.
Dr. Wood is truly one of the very best dentists I have ever met. He is professional, outstanding, caring, honest, and compassionate in every way. You can immediately tell he genuinely loves helping people and takes pride in his work. His calm demeanor, attention to detail, and sincere concern for his patients make him not only an exceptional dentist, but also an exceptional man.
Thank you, Dr. Wood, for taking care of me during this difficult trial in my life. Your kindness, patience, and dedication meant more to me than words can express.

Kim was an efficiency, dental assistant extraordinaire❣️
I’ll be right backYou can’t train this kind of stuff people either have it or they don’t and Kim has it all over the place❣️
Whoever hired her needs a big hug at least and whoever is in charge of her wages and salaries or however, they pay her has got to be really awkward and pretty stressful because they have to know that there’s at least 50 people trying to hire her away from young Dental 😳

I’ve known Dr. Chris for over 10 years, and my experience with him has been awesome. I got Invisalign with him to straighten my teeth, and it was incredible to have straight teeth! It was great, too, that I was an adult and I didn’t have to walk around with braces like a teenage weirdo. Chris and YFD are excellent, I highly recommend them.

I took both my 8 year old and 3 year old daughters there, and it was great experience from beginning to end. It was the first time for my 3 year old (don’t judge me ?) Jacqueline was great at making it a fun experience for her. Jessica helped take care of my 8 year old who had some infection on a tooth she had worked on a while ago. And the dentist was great too. Overall, everyone was friendly, everything was clean, and at the end I had a credit on my account that I didn’t know was there which was an added bonus.

I love young family dental! Their assistants are great and make me feel comfortable which is important to me because I don’t like going to the dentist.
