Full and Partials Dentures

    Dentures are a removable solution to replacing missing teeth. At our dental office, we offer two kinds of dentures—full and partial.
Full dentures replace all of the teeth that are missing on an upper or lower arch, and partial dentures fit with existing dentition like a puzzle piece.
A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.

Dentures designed by an experienced denture dentist such as Dr. Mirtaj or his associates will fit snuggly with your gum ridges. A denture adhesive can provide added support, though for optimal comfort, our doctors may recommend implant-supported dentures.

Dental implants are the modern alternative to removable dentures. Because they're permanently affixed to the jawbone, you'll no longer experience slipping or clicking when you eat or talk. If your current dentures are broken or uncomfortable, call us.
We repair dentures at our dental office, often in the same day
.

Partial dentures consist of a few teeth on a gum-colored base. They're a great solution for patients who still have some healthy teeth.
Partial dentures are secured with inconspicuous metal clasps or dental implants.
Implant-supported partials are not removable, except by a dentist. Traditional partials can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.

    Dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years, but they are not teeth replacement. They may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear.

Reasons for dentures:

  • Complete Denture - Loss of all teeth in an arch
  • Partial Denture - Loss of several teeth in an arch
  • Enhancing smile and facial tissues
  • Improving chewing, speech, and digestion

What does getting dentures involve?

The process of getting dentures requires several appointments, usually over several weeks. Highly accurate impressions (molds) and measurements are taken and used to create your custom denture. Several "try-in" appointments may be necessary to ensure proper shape, color, and fit.
At the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place the completed denture, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit. It is normal to experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, and possible speech and chewing difficulty, however this will subside as your muscles and tissues get used to the new dentures.
