Dentures
 A
denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and adjacent
tissues. It is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination
with various metals.
Complete dentures replace all the teeth, while
a partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth
and prevents other teeth from changing position.
 Implant-Supported
Over Dentures
Over Dentures are a type of conventional denture similar
to Complete Dentures. The difference is that not all teeth
are extracted and they use one or more natural teeth for their
support.
This type provides greater stabilization during chewing.
Over Dentures cost more and typically require more preparation
and dental appointments until the procedure is fully complete.

Immediate Dentures
A conventional denture is placed in the mouth about a month
after all the teeth are removed to allow for proper healing.
Immediate dentures are placed as soon as the teeth are removed.
It may require additional adjustments after the healing process
as it can take months for your bone and tissue to stabilize
after tooth extractions.

Removable Partial Denture
Removable partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with
metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. Precision
attachments are generally more esthetic than metal clasps
and they are nearly invisible. Crowns on your natural teeth
may improve the fit of a removable partial denture and they
are usually required with attachments.
Complete Denture
These replace all of your teeth, upper or lower. Their comfort
depends on muscle, bones, tongue, and saliva. Patients begin
wearing conventional dentures after healing the teeth that
were pulled.
