A denture replaces missing teeth and adjacent tissues. Unlike dental implants, a denture is removable.

Benefits of Dentures

1. Prevents exisiting teeth from drifting into surrounding space of the missing teeth
2. Teeth out of position can damage tissues in the mouth
3. Helps to chew food

There are three types of partial dentures offered in our office :

1. Conventional Partial Dentures - These have metal frameworks and metal clasps that snap over certain remaining teeth to gain support.

2. Hidden Partial Dentures - These partial dentures are made to show as little metal as possible. Either the clasps are designed in a way to minimize their appearance, or "attachments" are used. These are little devices buried in the denture that lock into crowns for stability, but are not visible to other people.

3. Flexite Partial Dentures - These are all acrylic partial dentures that have either pink, white or clear acrylic clasps. The clasps almost become invisible because they blend in so well.
