TYPES OF DENTURES

Complete or Full Dentures

Complete dentures are full replacements for all of your teeth. This can be a full set of both upper or lower teeth, or one set for either the upper or lower missing teeth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed to correct the gaps in your smile when only some of your teeth are missing.

Metal attachments anchor the dentures to your natural teeth.

Partial dentures maintain tooth alignment by preventing your remaining teeth from shifting.

Partial dentures can also help you prevent further tooth loss due to decay or gum disease.

Overdentures

Overdentures can be full or partial dentures, and are secured to the roots of your own teeth.

This type of denture provides greater stabilization during chewing.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For those who choose dentures , the best results come from implant-supported and over dentures. Removable dentures become loose (because of gum damage) causing pain  and more damage to gums due to moving around. Implant supported dentures stay put. They are attached to and supported by dental implants. Implant-supported dentures also offer the advantage of eliminating the need for messy denture adhesives.
