Dentures/Partials

What are Dentures and Partials?
             
             Dentures and Partials are a detachable, prosthetic substitute for a person's missing natural teeth and bone. Dentures and Partials are made by your dentist to replace any or all of your missing teeth are well as adjoining tissue. Don't expect dentures or partials to function like your natural teeth.

Conventional Dentures:
            
             Conventional Dentures are made after all of the remaining teeth are taken out and the mouth and gum tissue has fully healed. This healing process can take up to three months.

Immediate Dentures:

           Immediate Dentures can be placed in the mouth right away and do not require a healing process. You will require laboratory relines or new dentures after 6 months.

Removable Partial Denture:

           A partial denture is made up of a plastic base that is colored to match the shade of your gums. Replacement teeth are then attached to the base.
