Full Denture Solutions
Conventional full dentures are fitted once all natural teeth have been removed and the gums have sufficiently healed. This process typically takes several months to complete.
In certain cases, it can be more advantageous to opt for immediate full dentures. As the name suggests, these dentures are fitted immediately after teeth are removed – so you don’t need to worry about being without teeth for an extended period. However, because the bone that surrounds your teeth reshapes during the healing process, it’s important to reline immediate dentures several months after they have been inserted.
Typically, immediate dentures are implemented as a temporary solution. They enable wearers to have effective use of teeth before the more long-lasting full dentures can be fitted.
Partial Denture Solutions
Combining acrylic with a metal framework, partial dentures attach to natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with natural teeth and are ideal for increasing confidence when eating and speaking. Additionally, partial dentures can help protect oral tissues and gums.
In certain circumstances, crowns can be placed on natural teeth to serve as anchors for the dentures. They can also serve as a removable alternative to bridges. After assessing your teeth, our staff will recommend the optimal partial solution. Your long-term dental health is our top priority.
