Dentures

What are the different types of dentures?

Downtown Dental Studio provides a variety of treatment options. Some of the available denture options include: 

• Metal framework partial dentures
• Acrylic partial dentures
• Dental implants and crowns
• Denture relines
• Soft denture liners
• Implant-supported removable dentures

Your custom dentures are usually created in a dental lab. Most dentures are removable for your convenience.

Standard dentures

Standard full dentures are a full set of upper and lower teeth that use suction to stay in place. Standard dentures are made from a pliable material.

Partial dentures

Partial dentures replace only a limited number of teeth, not an entire set. Partial dentures are supported by your remaining teeth and gums.

Cosmetic dentures

Cosmetic dentures are specially designed to look as natural as possible. Innovative cosmetic dentures are derived from a special acrylic base that eliminates the possibility of the denture warping out of shape or shrinking. These dentures are removable and usually rest on or snap onto a dental implant.

Dental implants are surgically fused to your jawbone to replace your natural tooth roots. Your removable dentures securely attach onto your dental implants.

What are immediate dentures?

If you’ve lost your teeth as a result of an injury, illness, or prolonged decay, you might choose immediate dentures that can be placed quickly. This means you don't have to live without teeth for any period.

It’s important to be aware that as your mouth heals from the loss of your natural teeth, your dentures require relining to make sure you achieve the most accurate and comfortable fit over time.

Are partial dentures the best choice for me?

Partial dentures are a good solution if you have missing teeth but you still have some of your natural teeth.

Partial dentures with metal frames don’t require dental adhesives to remain in place. They typically have clasps that anchor to existing teeth.

Acrylic partial dentures are a cost-effective alternative that tends to be cheaper than partials with metal frames. Acrylic partial dentures are usually used to replace front teeth as a temporary solution while your dentist or lab technician constructs your permanent partials or bridges.
