Classic Dentures
 

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They are typically made of acrylic resin, sometimes with porcelain or metal added for strength. There are two main types: partial dentures and complete dentures.
 

Both types are finely crafted and custom-fitted. With proper care, your dentures will look natural and give you a beautiful smile. Dentures also support the facial muscles that shape your expression, can help correct pronunciation problems, and, best of all, make chewing easier so you can enjoy your favorite foods with comfort.
 

Implant-Supported Dentures
 

A regular denture rests on your gums. An implant-supported denture is different: dental implants anchor it in place. This type is most often used in the lower jaw, where regular dentures tend to be less stable, but it can be used in the upper jaw as well.
 

The denture snaps onto implants that are surgically placed in your jaw. This keeps it from slipping or coming loose and removes the need for denture paste or adhesives. A removable implant-supported denture can be taken out at night for cleaning. A fixed implant-supported denture stays in place and works like permanent teeth.
