A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. There are two types of dentures: Complete (Full) and Partial Dentures.

Complete (Full) Dentures are made after all the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. The denture includes replacement teeth that are attached to an acrylic base that is custom made in a dental laboratory. The denture sits over the gums or can be anchored to dental implants for additional comfort and support. If multiple teeth need to be removed, an immediate dentures can be made ahead of time so that our patients are never without teeth.

Removable Partial Dentures are made when only a few teeth need to be replaced. They most commonly consist of teeth that are attached to either a metal or acrylic base. Often there are clasps, which are disguised or hidden for cosmetics, that hook on to the patient’s own teeth.
