Partials and Dentures

Removable partials and dentures are for patients who are missing some of their teeth on a particular arch. Flexible partials are virtually invisible because there are no metal clasps. They are very esthetic. The flexibility of these partials makes them very comfortable. They are designed to look like your natural teeth.

Full dentures, or “false teeth,” are used to replace all upper or lower teeth. Their purpose is to provide support for cheeks and lips, as well as improving the patient’s ability to speak and eat. The types of dentures we offer are conventional and immediate. Immediate dentures are made BEFORE teeth are removed, PLACED the day of surgery and after the teeth have been removed and USED until the tissue heals completely (8-12 weeks after the teeth have been removed). A conventional denture is made and placed when the gum tissue is healed. Ready for placement about 8-12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.
