Dentures

Dentures can be divided into three types based on your mouth structure and condition. They are manufactured in a denture laboratory once your mouth impression is taken by your dental specialist. It is important that you pick a good dentist for any kind of teeth issues as removing or adding new teeth could be a complex job. We have great experience in dental surgery and will do whatever it takes to get your smile back. McDonough Family Dentistry offers several different types of Dentures:

  • Conventional Full Denture: Dentures are placed in your mouth once the teeth are removed from mouth and gums are healed completely.
  • Immediate Full Denture: As the name suggests, the denture is placed immediately in the mouth after the teeth are removed completely. To accomplish this procedure a dentist takes a measurement of your jaw and makes models prior your visit. Though immediate full denture gives instant benefit to patient who doesn’t have teeth it needs to be reclined in short intervals for few months. The main reason behind this adjustment is because the jaw bone supporting denture reshapes itself which makes dentures loose.
  • Partial Denture: The denture is fixed in the mouth by placing a metal framework which is attached to your natural teeth. On few cases, crowns are placed on natural teeth that work as anchors for the denture.
