Dentures

Complete Dentures

Dentures are ideal for patients requiring a full set of teeth on the top, bottom, or both jaws. This time-tested procedure has evolved with modern advancements, offering improved comfort and functionality. The process typically requires at least four appointments to ensure proper fit and customization. After receiving dentures, patients undergo an adjustment period as their gums adapt to the new appliances.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are a practical option for patients requiring full-mouth extractions. These dentures are inserted immediately after teeth removal, ensuring the patient never has to go without teeth. A mold of the patient’s teeth is taken beforehand, allowing the dentures to be custom-made for a seamless fit. Immediate dentures provide comfort, functionality, and peace of mind during the healing process.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is a removable appliance designed to fill gaps caused by missing teeth, supporting surrounding teeth and preventing shifting or rotation. Made from acrylic or metal, partial dentures are crafted to blend seamlessly with natural teeth, offering both aesthetic appeal and comfort. With the ability to be made within a day, partial dentures provide a quick and efficient tooth replacement option.

Denture Relines

A denture reline is necessary when dentures no longer fit, which can occur due to natural changes like tooth loss, weight fluctuations, or illness. To maintain a proper fit and prevent irritation or inflammation, it’s recommended to reline dentures every two years. Wearing ill-fitting dentures can lead to discomfort and potentially serious oral health issues, making regular relining essential for optimal care.

Denture Rebases

Proper care of your dentures is crucial to maintaining their fit and longevity. Using harsh soaking solutions can warp or weaken dentures, leading to poor fit or damage. When cracks or misalignments occur, a denture rebase can restore the pink acrylic portion without altering the teeth. This procedure ensures durability and alignment, preserving the functionality and comfort of your dentures.

Denture Repairs

Accidents with dentures happen, and we make repairs, both simple and convenient. Over time, dentures may wear, tear, or break, but most issues can be resolved without requiring a full replacement. If your denture is damaged, it’s essential to have it repaired promptly by a professional. Delaying repairs can lead to gum injury and further damage, compromising your oral health and denture function.

Soft Liners

Comfort is key when wearing dentures, which is why we provide soft liner solutions to enhance your experience. Soft liners add a cushioning layer to dentures, making them ideal for patients with sensitive gums or discomfort. If your dentures cause irritation or soreness, professional adjustments are crucial. Prompt care prevents further irritation and ensures a secure, comfortable fit for optimal oral health.

Denture Implants

Age, bone loss, smoking, and illness can cause jawbone shrinkage, resulting in dentures that no longer fit. Implants offer a stable option by combining dental implants with dentures. Titanium rods are surgically embedded into the jawbone, mimicking tooth roots and providing support. These rods are placed before crafting the dentures to ensure a precise fit. Denture implants can be permanent or removable.
