Dentures & Partial Dentures

Complete dentures are removable appliances used to replace teeth when all of the teeth are missing. There are two types of complete dentures: conventional and immediate. Conventional dentures are made after any remaining teeth have been removed by our dentists and the gums have had time to begin healing, usually about eight to twelve weeks. Immediate dentures are prepared in advance, so they can be placed as soon as the teeth are removed. Gums and bones shrink during the healing period, so immediate dentures — which are often used as temporary dentures until permanent dentures have been fabricated — generally require more adjustments than conventional dentures.
