Types of Dentures

There are different types of dentures such as Partial dentures, Complete or Full Dentures, Temporary Dentures, Immediate Dentures, Overdentures, Implant Supported Dentures. We will assess your needs and provide customized recommendation for your unique situation.

• A conventional or traditional denture is a removable appliance that is made after teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
• An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after teeth extraction and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture. This way you are not missing teeth after extraction. They need to be replaced with a traditional denture after proper gum healing.
• Temporary denture is a temporary solution to replace missing teeth while the gums are healing for a cosmetic or implant procedure.
• A maxillary denture or upper denture are dentures for upper teeth. They have an acrylic plate, usually gum colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth). Sometimes a metal plate is used.
• A mandibular denture or lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue and can be made from acrylic or metal.
