Explore the different types of dentures we offer and learn about each one’s unique benefits.
Complete Dentures
If all of your teeth are missing or most of them need to be removed, we will place a complete denture once the gum tissue has healed. A complete conventional denture can be ready for placement in about eight to 12 weeks after your teeth are removed.
During this healing period, we’ll provide you with a natural-looking, fully-functioning, temporary denture that you can wear until your complete denture is made and ready for you to wear.
Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture is also a complete denture, though it’s made in advance so we can place it the same day as when your teeth are removed. There won’t be a healing period where you’ll have to wear a temporary denture because you’ll be able to leave our office with a beautiful, complete smile right away.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable bridge that replaces one or more missing teeth and is attached to a pink or gumlike plastic base for support. When you still have one or more natural, healthy teeth in your jaw, a partial denture is an optimal option to replace your missing teeth.
Your fixed bridge of teeth uses dental crowns on both sides of your natural teeth and is secured into place, preventing other teeth from changing position.
Overdentures
Another denture option we offer that provides a more secure and stable solution is an overdenture. This tooth replacement alternative is a traditional denture that is placed over at least two roots or dental implants to hold the denture in place.
Attachments will be placed onto the roots or implant, which will help anchor the denture onto your jawbone. An overdenture offers a longer-lasting, more permanent solution for patients who aren’t satisfied with their complete denture.
Implant-retained Dentures
An implant-retained denture is similar to an overdenture, in that it is held in by attachments that are connected to multiple dental implants along your jawbone. An implant is the most secure and comfortable method of holding a denture in place and can enhance your ability to eat and speak with ease. We can also use dental implants to stabilize your partial denture in place.
