Are missing teeth affecting your smile, speech, or ability to eat comfortably? Dentures and partial dentures can be the solution you’ve been looking for to restore your smile and confidence. Dr. Angela Bauer Williams understands the importance of a functional, natural-looking set of teeth at Cambridge Family Dental in Cambridge, Wisconsin. She is here to guide you through the process. Here are some common questions to help you determine if dentures or partial dentures are right for you.
Dentures or partial dentures might be ideal if you are missing several teeth or have severely damaged ones that can’t be saved. Full dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost all their teeth in a particular arch, while partial dentures are designed for patients with some healthy natural teeth remaining. Your dentist at Cambridge Family Dental will assess your oral health and recommend the best option based on the number of teeth missing and your overall dental condition.
Yes! One of the biggest benefits of dentures or partial dentures is that they improve speech and eating abilities. Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain words and eat various foods, especially harder items. Dentures fill the gaps, giving you a complete set of teeth that restores chewing function and enhance your ability to speak clearly. After an adjustment period, many patients find that their new dentures significantly improve their speech and chewing abilities.
It’s common to experience some discomfort or a feeling of fullness in the mouth when you first start wearing dentures or partial dentures. This is normal as your mouth adjusts to the new appliance. For some, the gums may be slightly irritated, but these sensations usually diminish as you continue to wear them. Your dentist will ensure that your dentures fit properly and may make adjustments to minimize discomfort. Over time, most patients find their dentures or partial dentures become more comfortable.
Dentures and partial dentures typically last anywhere from five to ten years, depending on how well they are cared for and how your mouth changes over time. Regular check-ups at Cambridge Family Dental will help ensure that your dentures continue to fit properly and function effectively.
It is generally recommended to remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and recover from pressure. Removing your dentures while sleeping also helps prevent irritation and allows you to clean them properly. Keeping your dentures in a safe, damp environment when not in use will help maintain their shape and prevent them from drying out.
If you’re considering dentures or partial dentures, Dr. Angela Bauer Williams and the team at Cambridge Family Dental are committed to providing personalized care to help restore your smile, improve your speech, and enhance your quality of life.

Hello! I’m Dr. Angela Bauer, and I would like to welcome you to my dental practice in beautiful
Cambridge, Wisconsin. The most important part of my practice is taking care of my patients in a
compassionate and honorable way. I will treat you like I treat my own family and friends, with utmost
honesty and your best interests at heart at all times.
Because my practice is a locally-owned small business and not a corporation, we can focus on doing the
right thing for our patients. We only hire the best people and use the best materials for our patients
to ensure healthy, long-lasting, and beautiful treatment. My practice is designed with your comfort in
mind, from the inviting waiting room upon entry to the relaxing view with gorgeous landscaping and
wildlife from our treatment rooms. We even have blankets and headphones for your comfort.
I utilize only the most modern and proven techniques and materials in treatment. That way, my patients
get all the benefits of the best care possible. We have all the latest technologies, including digital
scanners for optimal results, digital x-rays for precision, and even intraoral cameras to take pictures
of teeth. That way, if you do need treatment, we can show you exactly why, so there is no uncertainty.
I have been in practice for over 20 years, and during that time I have strived to be the best dentist
possible for my patients. In 2017 I was honored with a Fellowship Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. Just this year, the same Academy awarded me with a Mastership, which only two percent of practicing dentists currently hold. That is my practice! I am Dr. Angela Bauer, and I invite you to come
and see why we are different.
