Denture and Partial Denture

  • Dentures

    A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue.  They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

    Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. 

    Reasons for dentures:

    Complete Denture - Loss of all teeth in an arch.

    Enhancing smile and facial tissues.

    Improving chewing, speech, and digestion.

  • Partial Denture (metal Framework)

    A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue.  They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

    A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.

    Reasons for partial denture:

    Partial Denture - Loss of several teeth in an arch.

    Enhancing smile and facial tissues.

    Improving chewing, speech, and digestion.

  • Stayplate

    A stayplate (or flipper) is a temporary removable appliance for replacing one or more teeth. This appliance can assist with chewing/speaking until a more permanent solution (such as a dental implant, fixed bridge or removable partial denture) is achieved

  • Valplast partial denture

    A Valplast removable partial denture offers an alternative to a traditional metal based partial denture. This appliance is made of a flexible nylon resin.

Restoration

Reasons for restorative dentistry:

  • Enhance your smile.

  • Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.

  • Improve or correct an improper bite.

  • Prevent the loss of a tooth.

  • Relieve dental pain.

  • Repair damaged and decayed teeth.

  • Replace missing teeth.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue.  They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

There are two types of dentures - complete and partial  dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.  A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.

Reasons for dentures:

  • Complete Denture - Loss of all teeth in an arch.

  • Partial Denture - Loss of several teeth in an arch.

  • Enhancing smile and facial tissues.

  • Improving chewing, speech, and digestion.

Fixed Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.

Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

Reasons for a fixed bridge:

  • Fill space of missing teeth.

  • Maintain facial shape.

  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

  • Restore chewing and speaking ability.

  • Restore your smile.

  • Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance.



Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.

Signs and symptoms for possible root canal therapy:

  • An abscess (or pimple) on the gums.

  • Sensitivity to hot and cold.

  • Severe toothache pain.

  • Sometimes no symptoms are present.

  • Swelling and/or tenderness.

Reasons for root canal therapy:

  • Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth).

  • Infection or abscess have developed inside the tooth or at the root tip.

  • Injury or trauma to the tooth.
