Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are recommended when a patient requires a full set of teeth for the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. This is one of the most common denture procedures, backed by years of proven success and further enhanced by modern advancements in dental technology. The process of receiving complete dentures typically involves a minimum of two visits, followed by an adjustment period as the gums adapt to the new dentures.

Immediate Dentures

For patients who may be unfamiliar with dentures, immediate dentures are often needed in cases where dental extractions are required. These dentures are placed in the mouth immediately after teeth are extracted. A mold of the patient's teeth is taken before the extraction, allowing the dentures to be custom-made for a seamless and quick fit. We understand that the thought of having missing teeth can be concerning, which is why immediate dentures provide an effective and reassuring solution.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is a removable denture that helps support your surrounding teeth when there is a missing tooth. It also helps prevent tooth loss, rotation, and shifting that could occur if the gap is left open. Partial dentures tend to be made from an acrylic or metal composition which allows the partial denture to resemble the surrounding teeth, giving it an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable look. A partial denture can be made within one day, making it extremely efficient.

Denture Relines

A denture reline is required if your dentures start to fit incorrectly and feel uncomfortable in your mouth. This may happen due to multiple natural factors, such as: tooth loss, weight loss, or illness. We recommend that you have your dentures relined every two years to ensure they properly fit your mouth. If you wear improper dentures, it can cause irritation and inflammation which can progress to other more serious oral concerns.

Denture Repairs

We understand that accidents may happen with dentures, which is why we make it easy to get your dentures repaired at our practice. Dentures may become worn over time, tear, or break; but they can be repaired without the need of a full replacement. However, if you have a denture that is broken, it is crucial to have it fixed immediately by a professional. You could end up injuring your gums and worsening your dentures the longer you wait.

Denture Rebases

Caring for your dentures is an important task to ensure that they do not become ill-fitting. Some patients do not realize when they soak their dentures in harmful solutions, it may cause their dentures to become warped or brittle. A denture rebase is performed to fix any cracks or misalignments that have occurred, but does not impact the teeth portion of the denture. This means that the rebase will be completed to the pink acrylic portion of the denture only.

Denture Implants

Over time, our jaw bones slowly shrink due to age, smoking, and illnesses and because of this, your dentures may not fit properly anymore. Denture implants are a combination of dental implants and dentures. Titanium screws are implanted into the jawbone, replacing your tooth roots, which increases the stability of the denture. These rods need to be implanted into the jaw before your dentures are made, to ensure everything fits properly. Denture implants can be permanent or removable.
