DENTURES
Dentures are an artificial substitute for healthy natural teeth, but if you have been unfortunate to lose some or all of your teeth, then a partial or full denture will enable you to maintain your facial appearance and satisfactorily chew food.
Full Dentures
Complete dentures replace all of a patient’s teeth. They sit on top of the gums, as opposed to dental bridges that are anchored to existing teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when a patient still has some of his or her natural teeth, such as when one or more teeth remain in the upper and lower jaw.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are typically placed on the same day that the teeth are removed /extracted. You have to be a good candidate for this type of denture, though.
Upper Dentures
Upper dentures are just that – dentures for the upper teeth. If you are missing teeth in the upper jaw, upper dentures may be the best solution for you.
Overdentures
An overdenture sits on top of the gums and is held in place with dental implants. It can be placed on the upper and/or the lower jaw, depending on the patient’s needs. The overdenture is also removable.
Snap-in Dentures
Snap-in dentures are the most effective choice when it comes to stability. They are held securely in place with the help of dental implants or anchors onto the existing teeth.
Implant Supported Dentures
A dental implant is used to securely support the denture. The denture provides a great amount of support for a solid foundation, which allows the denture to stay securely in place. The dental implant also looks natural and will last long, too.
Custom Dentures
Custom dentures are made of more expensive teeth, which results in a more natural-looking smile. The denture is customized for your smile so it is natural looking and suits your needs.
