Dentures

What are dentures?

Dentures are a convenient, comfortable, and affordable way to restore your lost teeth. They are a common solution for people who have lost some or all of their natural teeth.

They are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth.

Dentures are made using various materials like acrylic, flexible resin, cobalt-chrome, and porcelain.

Types of dentures

There are many types of dentures to meet each patient’s specific needs and preferences.

Here’s a rundown of the various types of dentures:

• Full dentures: These dentures replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth. A suction or dental adhesive holds them in place. We can even remove them for cleaning.
• Partial dentures: Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Metal clasps or other attachments secure them to the existing teeth.
• Immediate dentures: These are full dentures made ahead of time. They are immediately inserted after extracting natural teeth. This type of denture is a temporary solution before making conventional dentures.
• Overdentures: These are full or partial dentures attached to dental implants. They provide added stability and comfort. This type of denture is ideal for patients seeking a more permanent solution.

We select the type of denture based on different factors. These factors include the number and
location of missing teeth, budget, and lifestyle.

Our skilled team will work with you to determine the best type of denture for your needs. With so
many options, you can find the ideal denture solution to restore your smile and biting power.

There are many reasons why you may need dentures. Some of them include:

• Tooth loss due to injury or decay
