Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches need to be replaced. These removable prosthetics are carefully designed to fit securely over the gums, restoring function and aesthetics. Modern complete dentures are more comfortable and lifelike than ever, providing patients with a renewed sense of confidence.

For patients undergoing full tooth extractions, immediate dentures provide a temporary solution that allows them to maintain function while healing. These dentures are pre-made based on a mold taken before the extraction, ensuring that patients leave the dental office with a full set of teeth. After healing, adjustments may be necessary to ensure a perfect fit.

Partial dentures are an excellent option for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. These dentures help fill gaps left by missing teeth while preventing shifting and misalignment of the remaining teeth. Depending on your needs, partial dentures can be made from acrylic, metal, or flexible materials for comfort and durability.

A flipper is a temporary partial denture that replaces one or more missing teeth. These lightweight, removable appliances are designed for short-term use while waiting for a more permanent restoration. Flippers offer a quick and affordable solution to improve a patient’s appearance and functionality.

For enhanced stability and function, implant-retained dentures (also called overdentures) attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional removable dentures, overdentures offer a secure fit with less slipping and discomfort. This option is ideal for patients seeking a long-lasting and natural-feeling solution.

Unlike implant-retained dentures, implant-supported dentures are fixed in place and do not need to be removed daily. This option provides maximum stability, comfort, and bite force, closely resembling the function of natural teeth. The implants serve as a foundation, helping preserve jawbone structure and prevent bone loss.

Over time, gum tissue and bone structure naturally change, causing dentures to become loose or uncomfortable. A denture reline helps adjust the fit by modifying the denture base, ensuring a snug and comfortable placement. Regular relining extends the life of your dentures and improves functionality.

A denture rebase involves replacing the entire pink acrylic base of a denture while preserving the existing teeth. This procedure is recommended when the denture base has worn down or become weakened, offering a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire set of dentures.

Soft liners provide added cushioning to dentures, making them more comfortable for patients with sensitive gums. This material absorbs shock and reduces irritation, improving the overall wearability of dentures for individuals with tender or receded gum tissue.
