Denture

Implant-Retained Dentures

With implant-retained overdentures, you can feel confident to laugh, smile and join in the conversation, without worrying about your dentures slipping out since they are secured in place. Also, your implant-retained dentures help you retain the contours of your facial muscles to give you a more youthful appearance and alleviate painful sore spots of your current dentures. Enjoy your favorite foods again because your implant-retained overdentures will stay in place, even when eating chewy or sticky foods that cause problems with conventional dentures that use adhesives. Toss those tubes of denture adhesive that are messy, affect the taste of your food, and still don’t hold your dentures securely in place. With just four to six implants, you will not need any adhesive to keep your dentures from falling out.

Standard Full Dentures

Standard full dentures are ones that comprise a full set of upper and lower teeth. This type of denture uses suction to stay in place. They are made of a pliable material which makes suction easy. However, it is for this reason that standard full dentures require routine visits to the dentist. Being pliable, the dentures are susceptible to shrinkage, thus creating an ill-fitting prosthetic that will result in the atrophy of the jawbone.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are dentures that replace only a limited number of teeth, and not an entire set. Partial dentures are a single piece fitting that is supported by the remaining teeth and gums. They are much more secure than standard full dentures, and are more comfortable.
