Flippers

A flipper is a type of removable partial denture used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is typically made of acrylic and designed to be lightweight and temporary. Flippers are often used as a short-term solution while waiting for a permanent solution, like a dental implant or bridge. They are easy to insert and remove and are usually affordable, though they may not be as durable or secure as other denture options.

Precision

Precision dentures are a type of removable partial or full denture designed to fit more precisely and securely than traditional dentures. They use a specialized attachment system that allows the denture to fit more closely to the mouth. Precision dentures are custom-made with high precision to ensure better comfort, function, and aesthetics, making them a preferred choice for patients who need a more stable fit or have complex oral conditions.

Rebases

Caring for your dentures is an important task to ensure that they do not become ill-fitting. Some patients do not realize when they soak their dentures in harmful solutions, it may cause their dentures to become warped or brittle. A denture rebase is performed to fix any cracks or misalignments that have occurred, but does not impact the teeth portion of the denture. This means that the rebase will be completed to the pink acrylic portion of the denture only.

Relines

A denture reline is required if your dentures start to fit incorrectly and feel uncomfortable in your mouth. This may happen due to multiple natural factors, such as: tooth loss, weight loss, or illness. We recommend that you have your dentures relined every two years to ensure they properly fit your mouth. If you wear improper dentures, it can cause irritation and inflammation which can progress to other more serious oral concerns.

Complete

Complete dentures are required when a patient needs a top, bottom, or full set of teeth. This is the most common procedure for dentures as they have years of successful history, which has only advanced due to modern technology. The process to receive complete dentures can be lengthy as it requires at least four appointments. After the fourth appointment, there is an adjustment period for patients due to their gums acclimating to their new dentures.

Soft Liners

Soft liners are a type of material placed inside dentures to provide extra cushioning and comfort. They are ideal for patients with sensitive gums or those who have sore spots in their mouth due to ill-fitting dentures. Soft liners help to alleviate pressure and reduce irritation. They are typically made from a soft, flexible material that adapts to the shape of the mouth and can be added to existing dentures.

Partial

A partial denture is a removable denture that helps support your surrounding teeth when there is a missing tooth. It also helps prevent tooth loss, rotation, and shifting that could occur if the gap is left open. Partial dentures tend to be made from an acrylic or metal composition which allows the partial denture to resemble the surrounding teeth, giving it an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable look. A partial denture can be made within one day, making it extremely efficient.

Repairs

We understand that accidents may happen with dentures, which is why we make it easy to get your dentures repaired at our practice. Dentures may become worn over time, tear, or break; but they can be repaired without the need of a full replacement. However, if you have a denture that is broken, it is crucial to have it fixed immediately by a professional. You could end up injuring your gums and worsening your dentures the longer you wait.

Immediate

For those who may be unfamiliar with dentures, immediate dentures are needed for more serious cases of dental extractions. They are dentures that are immediately inserted into a patient’s mouth after having all their teeth extracted. A mold of their teeth is taken prior to the extraction(s), which allows for their dentures to be made to fit seamlessly, and quickly. We understand that the thought of having missing teeth can be worrisome, so immediate dentures are an effective solution.

Implant Retained Dentures (Overdenture)

Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are supported and held in place by dental implants. These implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable base for the denture to snap onto. Overdentures are designed to fit over the implants, offering better stability and preventing the denture from shifting. This type of denture is a good option for patients who want more security than traditional removable dentures but do not require a full set of implants.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are similar to implant-retained dentures but offer even more stability. In this case, multiple dental implants are placed in the jaw to support a full set of dentures. Unlike implant-retained dentures, which rely on a few implants, implant-supported dentures are fixed to the implants and do not require the denture to be removed for cleaning. They offer a higher level of stability, improved function, and a more natural feel than traditional removable dentures.
