Full & Partial Dentures

A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.

What Are Dentures?

The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.

Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dentist examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

Types of Dentures

Implant Denture

A denture that is implanted directly to the jawbone with titanium screws to provide an extremely stable and secure foundation. These dentures look and function like normal teeth and can be brushed and flossed.

Conventional Denture

A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.

Immediate Denture

An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
