Removable Dentures & Partials

Removable complete dentures are full-arch prosthetic devices designed to replace all your teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used to replace one or several missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. Both types of dentures are custom-crafted to provide a comfortable and secure fit, delivering a natural-looking, functional smile.

Here is a look at your complete denture options:

• Immediate Dentures: Your complete immediate dentures are created in advance and placed in your mouth right after extracting any remaining failing teeth. As your mouth heals, it will change in shape, so your dentures will no longer provide a perfect fit. Immediate dentures offer a temporary solution until you are ready for conventional dentures.
• Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are created from digital impressions of your teeth and gums after the area has fully healed, usually around 3-4 months after tooth extraction. They also offer a solution for patients already missing their teeth or those with uncomfortable or ill-fitting dentures that need replacement. Conventional dentures are custom-crafted to fit your mouth with precision, providing a comfortable fit.
• Implant-Retained Dentures: If you're looking for a more secure tooth replacement solution, you may want to consider implant-retained dentures. Your overdentures are secured to dental implants in your jawbone, providing unmatched stability, comfort, and function. Implant dentistry is the gold standard for missing teeth, delivering results second only to healthy, natural teeth.

Here is a look at your partial denture options:

• Traditional Partial Dentures: Traditional partial dentures consist of prosthetic teeth supported by metal frameworks. They attach to natural teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments. Traditional partials are a preferred option for many patients due to their stability, longevity, and the ability to add replacement teeth, as needed, to address future tooth loss.
• Flexible Partial Dentures: Flexible partials are made from a soft and flexible material. They attach to your gum tissues rather than being secured to your remaining teeth. While flexible partials are comfortable, they do not offer the same stability and function as traditional partials and cannot be repaired or accommodate additional teeth. However, they provide an excellent solution for patients with dexterity concerns.
