When most or all your natural teeth have been
lost, dentures provide many benefits:
- Restore your self-esteem
- Regain your eating ability
- Aid speaking ability
- Give support back to the lips and cheeks
(giving you a natural and younger appearance).
A Complete Denture is placed in the patient's
mouth after all the teeth have been extracted
and the gum tissue has healed. Healing takes anywhere
from a few weeks to a few months, depending upon
the patient.

An Overdenture usually requires that at least
2 roots be kept. These roots may be used to hold the
denture in place by placing inserts in the roots and
in the denture. The denture then attaches to the roots.
These roots also give support to the denture and help
retain the ridge the denture sits on.
An Implant-Retained Denture is the type of dental
prosthesis that uses implants
as anchors. We may suggest conventional implants to
support your denture or MDI-mini implants designed only
for dentures.
An Immediate Denture is placed the same day
the teeth are extracted. The advantage to an Immediate
Denture is that the patient does not have to be without
teeth during the healing period.

A Partial Denture or "removable bridge"
replaces one or more missing teeth, but there
must be teeth remaining for the partial to attach
to. Unlike a Fixed Bridge,
a partial is removable. A partial will prevent
other teeth from shifting, preserving your remaining
teeth.
