Complete dentures are man made replacements when all of the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both are missing. Full dentures are placed on the soft (gum) tissue in the mouth over the bone ridge. Our dentist uses several different steps not commonly utilized, to make sure your denture will fit the shape of your mouth in the best way possible. A chief goal also is to recover the lost support for your face. Correct design and careful fabrication of complete dentures helps restore clear speech and enhance your appearance.

2. What is removable partial bridgework (partial dentures)?

Removable partial bridgework can be used in certain cases when there are still enough key natural teeth remaining in the mouth. Partial bridgework is removable by the patient, which makes cleaning the teeth and partial bridge easier. The prosthetic teeth on partial bridgework can look very natural and are made from high impact dental materials. Partial dentures usually incorporate special attachments to help hold them in place. Removable partial dentures rest on the teeth and soft gum tissues for support. This usually allows the patient the opportunity to choose a variety of treatment options.
