We will help you choose the type of denture that’s best for you based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved. Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to, today’s dentures are natural-looking and more comfortable than ever.
Dentures
Complete dentures are either “conventional” or “immediate.” Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.
Unlike conventional dentures, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be set as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing process. However, over time, bones and gums shrink, especially during the healing period following tooth removal.

how does it work?
A partial denture or bridge usually consists of removable, replacement teeth, that are attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base. Which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
A fixed bridge replaces one or more teeth by placing crowns on the teeth on either side of the space and attaching artificial teeth to them. This “bridge” is then cemented into place. Not only does a partial denture fill in the spaces created by missing teeth, but it also prevents other teeth from changing position.
A precision partial denture is removable and has internal attachments rather than clasps that attach to the adjacent crowns. Giving the dentures a more natural look and appeal.
