Specialty Dentures

Specialty dentures help you to alleviate the problems that come with losing teeth. They improve your self-esteem, speech, and bite and prevent your existing teeth from shifting.

Many people think that dentures are only used when a whole set of teeth is missing, but specialty dentures replace your missing teeth and it is possible to craft them to fit into any size gap in your mouth. Even with today's technological dental advancements and dental health education, many people across the nation still live with tooth loss. Missing teeth may be a source of embarrassment, and can affect a person's nutrition and dental health. Dentures are great option for missing teeth, regardless of the degree of tooth loss and they are appropriate for people who have recently lost their teeth, as well as for people who have been living with tooth loss for many years. Dentures are very popular all around the world because they feel and look like natural teeth.

There are both partial and full dentures available. Partial dentures help your existing teeth to maintain their position. Full dentures replace a whole set of teeth, whether it is your upper of lower set. The type of denture we recommend for you varies depending on your lifestyle needs, the degree of tooth loss, and your personal preferences.

Removable Dentures

The denture's base has a color similar to the color of your gums, which fits perfectly over the ridge that holds your teeth.

Full dentures include:

immediate dentures
conventional dentures
implant-supported dentures

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are temporary and help your muscles to readjust when you are initially getting used to wearing them. You typically use these types of dentures right after a tooth extraction.

Conventional Full Dentures

These dentures are made to look exactly like your natural teeth, and after some time, they conform to your jaw and gums feel as good as they look.

Implant-Supported Overdentures

These types of dentures get their support from tooth implants, to which they are attached. We recommend these types of dentures when even though they are missing all of their teeth, the patient has sufficient bone in the jaw which can adequately support the implants.

Partial Dentures

Removable Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures have a more natural look than transitional partial dentures. Removable partial dentures are very light, and they are made to have a superior fit. It is recommended that you get dentures as soon as you lose your teeth because they not only look great, but also enhance your bite and improve your speech. When you start wearing dentures, they may not feel natural but with time, your mouth will get used to the feeling. It is important to note that your immediate dentures may not have the same fit after a few months, because sometimes the tissues may shrink. You have the option of relining your temporary dentures or buying a new set of dentures that fit better. We recommend the latter option.

Transitional Partial Dentures

Transitional partial dentures are removable. You can use them as temporary replacements for your lost teeth while you recover from a tooth extraction procedure.

It was a great first visit. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and they could definitely tell. But they didn't shame me for it like I have seen in the past. They seem friendly and want to make the visit as quick and painless as possible.
