Complete & Partial Dentures

A complete denture is used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth at one time.  Most dentures are simply fitted to the existing bone and gums so that the patient can wear them in place of natural teeth.  Some dentures are fabricated with implants securing them in place.  These dentures are usually smaller since they are being secured by a fixed implant.  

Dentures need to be cleaned regularly just like natural teeth.  Patients who wear dentures still need to see a dentist annually to have their gum tissue, joints, and bone checked for conditions that the patient may not be aware can exist.
