Dentures
For patients missing multiple teeth, partial and complete dentures offer a removable and cost-effective solution. Partial dentures are designed to replace several missing teeth, while complete dentures are used when all teeth in an arch are missing. Both are dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore functionality and aesthetics to the mouth.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are used when all the teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw. They can be either “conventional” or “immediate.” Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, typically taking about six to eight weeks. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed, allowing the wearer to have teeth during the healing period. However, immediate dentures may require more adjustments to fit properly during the healing process.
Complete dentures have a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over the gums. The upper denture covers the roof of the mouth, while the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate the tongue. These dentures are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and can significantly improve the ability to chew and speak, as well as enhance the appearance of the smile.
Denture Care & Maintenance
Both partial and complete dentures require proper care and maintenance to ensure their longevity and the health of the remaining oral tissues. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the fit and condition of the dentures and to make any necessary adjustments.
Our dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely, enhancing both function and appearance. We use high-quality materials to create dentures that look natural and provide a comfortable fit, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures not only fill in the spaces created by missing teeth but also prevent other teeth from shifting position. They can be removed for cleaning and are typically recommended for patients who have lost several teeth but still have some healthy teeth remaining.
