Dentures:
There is probably no greater range of qualities, expertise, and
cost among dental services offered in the United States than
with dentures. Constructing your denture from start to finish
in my personal lab assures you the best results attainable.
Removable Partial: (picture)
A removable replacement for missing teeth that clips to your
remaining teeth for retention and anchorage. Removable
dentures depend upon support from your gums as well.
Complete: (picture)
A complete denture replaces all the teeth of the upper jaw,
lower jaw, or both. Complete dentures rely totally on the
gums for support and retention. An upper denture covers the
palate (roof of the mouth) and stays up by suction from a seal
created between the denture and your gum tissue. A lower
denture cannot have any suction as it is horseshoe shaped.
As a general rule, an upper denture is easier to adjust to and
use than a lower denture.
