We provide Custom Dentures where the denture teeth are set in a wax base so you may try them in to see how the denture will look before it is completed. You may make changes to suit you, consistent with your dental needs. After you have approved the look of your Custom Dentures, the laboratory will custom finish your denture in the permanent acrylic base material. It’s like designing your own smile!We also provide Premium Dentures where the dentures are made with the best denture teeth available, which are highly resistant to wearing down and do not stain easily. For patients who have a difficult time chewing certain foods such as meat and lettuce, we offer a real breakthrough denture that has a medical stainless steel blade imbedded in the back chewing teeth. These bladed teeth working against specially shaped opposing teeth act like a knife against a chopping block to increase the efficiency of chewing. For patients with a loose lower denture, the cutting ability of this denture is usually a major improvement over anything worn before.
A Removable Partial Denture replaces missing teeth and fills in spaces for patients who still have some of their own teeth. This appliance can be designed to replace 1 tooth or 14 teeth in either upper or lower arch. Our standard partial denture is made from a combination of cast chrome alloy and acrylic. It has metal clasps which attach to the patient’s teeth.
Many patients want to have their denture of partial on the same day their teeth are extracted. We are able to provide this service by taking the impressions of the mouth a week before the extraction visit. The impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory, and the denture or partial is constructed and ready to be placed on the day of the extractions. As the healing process occurs, the gums will shrink. As a result, the denture or partial will loosen and need to be relined at a later date.
Lastly, ask us about the most revolutionary aspect of tooth replacement. Dentures and now be stabilized with specialized precision attachments incorporated into dental implants. Imagine–no more loose dentures or sticky adhesives. And for those who could never adjust to the feel of partials, we can now often replace them with comfortable, like-like implant supported crowns and bridges!
