Four Basic Types of Dentures

Complete or Full Dentures

Complete dentures refers to complete replacements of either upper or lower teeth, or both for the entire mouth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed to correct the gaps in a smile when only some of the teeth are missing.



Metal attachments anchor the dentures to your natural teeth.


Partial dentures maintain tooth alignment by preventing your remaining teeth from shifting into the space left by the missing tooth/teeth.


Partial dentures can also help you prevent further tooth loss due to decay or gum disease.

Overdentures

Overdentures can be full or partial dentures, and are secured to the roots of your own teeth.



This type of denture provides greater stabilization during chewing.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For those who choose dentures, the use of implants or implant-supported dentures are  recommended if possible

Over time, people can develop problems with complete dentures.


They can become loose, painful or tend to slip or move around, as the gums change.  Problems can be resolved by creating a custom set of dentures for you that will stay put. They are attached to and supported by dental implants.


Implant-supported dentures also offer the advantage of eliminating the need for messy denture adhesives.
