What are dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth, bone, soft tissue as well as support other tissue and facial structures. There are different types of dentures and not one denture will be the same. A model of your teeth or gums are made by taking an impression, which is then used to custom create your individualized and custom denture.

Most dentures are designed to be removable and should be removed nightly to allow for good oral hygiene and gum health.

Types of Dentures

Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is required when you have one or more of your natural teeth missing in either the upper or lower jaw.

Complete Dentures

Complete Dentures

A complete denture is a removable appliance that is used when all your natural teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be prosthetically replaced.

Immediate Complete Dentures

Immediate Complete Dentures

Immediate dentures are often called transitional dentures. These dentures are placed immediately post-surgery so that you do not have to be without teeth during the healing process.

Implant Based Dentures

Implant Based Dentures

Implant retained dentures are a real ‘game changer’ for those struggling with loose dentures. An implant-based denture is secured by the implants that have been surgically placed.
