Dentures are a prosthetic appliance of fake teeth, usually designed to replace many missing or removed teeth, and are removable (most of the time). They come in many different kinds, depending on your needs for their aesthetic appeal and functionality.
- Natural-appearing dentures are exactly what they sound like: fake teeth that look identical to your real teeth. They tend to be the most popular because they do not require your former teeth to be present, and also don’t require any surgery.
- Immediate dentures require impressions of your mouth, taken while your teeth are still present. These dentures are made before your teeth are extracted, to replace the exact feel of your former teeth. By placing these dentures in as soon as possible, following the loss of your natural teeth, post-extraction swelling can be kept to a minimum. Once the healing has concluded, a reline or a new denture will be required after 3 months of use, to make sure it continues to fit the changing shape of your mouth.
- Implant-supported dentures are a complex structure of dentures that relies on Implants for stability. Because implants are situated where roots once were, these dentures can easily sit above the gums. We want to ensure your comfort and oral health, without affecting your former dental treatments.
