Dental Patient Reviews & Testimonials
Restore your smile and confidence with comfortable, custom-fit dentures designed to look and feel natural.
We all hope our natural teeth will last a lifetime. But when this isn’t possible, dental professionals can offer a number of options to restore oral function and appearance. Thanks to advances in polymer science, the vast majority of dentures are now made with extremely high-quality, durable plastic, and are stronger, more comfortable, and more natural looking than ever before. In short, these are not your grandmother’s dentures!
A wide variety of dentures is available for individuals who are missing some or all of their teeth. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth on the upper and/or lower jaw and rest on the gums that cover the jawbone. These dentures can be made more secure when attached to one or more tooth roots (overdenture) or to dental implants (implant overdenture). Some implant overdentures can be removed by the wearer and others can be removed only by a dental practitioner.
Partial dentures replace only some of the teeth and attach to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or mechanical components known as attachments (precision and semi-precision partial dentures, also called attachment partial dentures). Your dentist or prosthodontist (a dentist who specializes in restoring and replacing teeth) will help you decide what type of denture and treatment plan are best for you
red materials and can be used to improve the color of teeth that have been worn down or stained. Alternatively, they can be used to improve the shape or size of the tooth.
Conventional Dentures:
Replace all missing teeth in a jaw and rest on the gum tissue
Conventional Overdentures:
Replace all missing teeth, rest on the gum tissue, and are also supported with attachment to one or more tooth roots
Implant Overdentures:
Replace all missing teeth in a jaw and connect to surgically placed dental implants
Conventional Partial Dentures:
Replace some missing teeth and are held in place with clasps that wrap around adjacent teeth
Precision and Semi-Precision Partial Dentures (also called attachment partial dentures):
Replace some missing teeth, and they are held in place with mechanical components called attachments
The types of treatments needed before dentures can be placed and the amount of time those treatments take will vary depending upon a person’s overall oral health, the number and location of missing teeth, and the type of denture selected to replace those teeth. These treatments can include:
Individuals who require extractions or implant surgery will need to wait several weeks for the mouth to heal before dentures can be placed. For some people, a temporary or “immediate” denture can be placed in the mouth on the same day extractions are performed, and worn until the permanent denture is fitted.
