Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are required when a patient needs a top, bottom, or full set of teeth. This is the most common procedure for dentures as they have years of successful history, which has only advanced due to modern technology. The process to receive complete dentures can be lengthy as it requires at least four appointments. After the fourth appointment, there is an adjustment period for patients due to their gums acclimating to their new dentures.
Precision Dentures
Precision refers to the quality of being exact, accurate, and consistent in achieving a desired result or outcome. In various fields, including dentistry, precision is crucial because it ensures that procedures, tools, or treatments are carried out with meticulous attention to detail, reducing the margin for error, improving the quality of results, enhancing patient satisfaction, promoting long-term success, increasing efficiency, and fostering trust between practitioners and patients.
Soft Liners
Soft Liners are a type of cushioning material used in dentures to provide a more comfortable fit for patients with sensitive gums or irregular jawbone structures. Made from pliable materials like silicone or medical-grade rubber, soft liners are placed on the underside of the denture that rests against the gums. They act as a shock absorber, reducing pressure and friction, which can alleviate sore spots and improve overall comfort.
Immediate Dentures
For those who may be unfamiliar with dentures, immediate dentures are needed for more serious cases of dental extractions. They are dentures that are immediately inserted into a patient’s mouth after having all their teeth extracted. A mold of their teeth is taken prior to the extraction(s), which allows for their dentures to be made to fit seamlessly, and quickly. We understand that the thought of having missing teeth can be worrisome, so immediate dentures are an effective 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.
Implant Retained Dentures (Overdenture)
Implant retained dentures, also known as overdentures, offer a secure and reliable solution for individuals seeking enhanced stability and functionality in their dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, overdentures are anchored to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. This attachment provides a firm hold, preventing slipping or shifting while eating or speaking. Implant retained dentures not only improve comfort and confidence but also help preserve jawbone health by stimulating the bone and preventing deterioration. Designed for durability and natural aesthetics, overdentures are an excellent option for restoring a full, functional smile.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are a highly stable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, combining the benefits of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, these dentures are securely attached to implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This connection provides exceptional stability, preventing slipping or discomfort while eating, speaking, or smiling. Implant supported dentures offer a natural appearance, improved chewing ability, and long-term support for jawbone health, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a durable and confident solution for tooth replacement.
