Dentures
Full or partial removable dentures, also known as false teeth, are dental prosthetics crafted from materials like acrylic plastic, nylon, or metal. They are specifically designed to replace one or more missing natural teeth. Unlike surgical options such as dental implants or bridges, this prosthodontic treatment is less invasive and offers a non-surgical alternative for restoring your smile and improving oral function.
Types of Dentures
As experts in dental prosthetics, we specialize in crafting modern dentures using advanced techniques. Our priority is to create custom-fitted dentures that not only look natural but also provide optimal comfort and durability.
Here are the types of dentures we offer:
- Complete Dentures: Recommended for individuals with total tooth loss (edentulous cases), complete dentures provide a full set of replacement teeth for both upper and lower jaws.
- Partial Dentures: Prescribed when some natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth and can be removable or fixed.
- Palateless Dentures: This type of denture features a prosthetic device with no plate covering the upper palate, providing a more comfortable and natural feel for the wearer.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Recommended for patients seeking a fixed solution, implant-supported dentures attach to the jawbone using dental implants. They are ideal for replacing several teeth at once and offer enhanced stability without relying on the suction of the gums.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: Also known as snap-in dentures, these dentures are secured by dental implants but are still removable for cleaning and maintenance.
- All-on-4/All-on-6 Dentures: Stabilized by four or six implants, respectively, these hybrid dentures are recommended for full arch rehabilitation without the need for bone grafting. They provide a secure and functional solution for individuals with significant tooth loss.
