Removable Prosthesis
We offer several different options for removable prosthesis, namely dentures. In cases where we need to replace a complete arch of teeth, we offer complete dentures of several varieties. In a case where we are extracting the remaining teeth and replacing them with a denture, we most often fabricate a denture ahead of time so that the day the remaining teeth are extracted, we can immediately offer a replacement to the patient. This way the patient is never without teeth of some sort.
In some cases where the a traditional complete denture cannot be comfortably kept in place by itself, many patients benefit from an implant retained complete denture. For this case, several implants are placed in the jaw bone by one of our wonderful oral surgeons who we closely work with. After the initial healing period, we fabricate a denture that will attach to these implants and hold the denture to the implants with "snap buttons." This will make the denture removable at night and for cleaning, yet still hold it in place tightly for a comfortable secure fit during the day.
