For patients who still have some viable natural teeth, partial dentures could be just the thing they’re looking for to complete their smile. These dentures will fill in only the missing space along the dental arch, and they can be removable or fixed for more stability. When patients opt for fixed partial dentures, they will be anchored to the surrounding natural teeth using a crown, and that’s why you’ll also hear them referred to as crown or bridge dentures.
Partial dentures can replace one or more of your natural teeth. Using cast chromium cobalt, titanium or other special alloys, we are able to fabricate a precision fitting partial to improve both your chewing ability and aesthetics.
Lower partials may be necessary to ensure proper function of your upper denture.
We also offer temporary acrylic partials or “flippers” to replace one or more teeth. Depending on your remaining teeth, your partial may be tooth, tissue, or implant tissue supported. Your denturist will discuss what treatment plan is most appropriate for you.
It usually takes 2-3 weeks to receive new conventional upper and lower dentures. If time is an issue for you, we are usually able to accommodate your needs and provide the dentures in a shorter time frame with sufficient notice.
There are several different kinds of dentures and the right choice for you will depend on your specific case.
These are just a few of the denture options available:
When dentures are created by an experienced denturist who uses high-quality materials, your dentures will be very effective. Dentures can offer a successful solution for treating and managing dental pain, trouble eating, missing teeth, and other oral issues.
You can wear your dentures while you sleep, but removing them at night to give your gums and bones a break from any pressure is ideal. Removable dentures also need to be taken out regularly–at least daily–for proper maintenance and cleaning.
The best dentures to get are made using advanced techniques to obtain your specific oral measurements, including precise moulds and jaw measurements. Good quality dentures are also made with premium materials.
