If you’re in need of full dentures because you’ve lost your teeth due to decay, illness, or injury, you could be a perfect candidate for immediate dentures. Immediate dentures mean you never have to be without teeth. Keep in mind, though, that immediate dentures do not have a “try on” period and can take some time to feel normal. They need to be regularly relined to ensure a continued, comfortable fit.

Partial dentures with a metal framework are the most common type of partials. Unlike full dentures, which replace all of your natural teeth, partial dentures only replace missing teeth. the dentist or denturist takes measurements of your jaw and makes models of your mouth so they can construct your new dentures in their lab as efficiently as possible. Partial dentures with metal frames securely anchor to your existing teeth and stay in place without the use of dental adhesives.

Acrylic partial dentures are a less expensive option for tooth replacement; however, they’re also less durable than metal ones. Acrylic partials are usually a short-term solution that’s worn while the dentist makes permanent bridges or partials.

The licensed denturists can repair full or partial custom dentures while you wait or in a few hours, depending on the repairs needed. Denture repairs are completed on-site.
