Progress in dental procedures and materials has remarkably revolutionized how we can restore smiles with dentures for our patients. The era of uncomfortable and unnatural-looking dentures is now a thing of the past! We collaborate with you to create a smile that not only appears natural but also feels and works superbly, offering various options custom-designed to meet your unique requirements. Some of the types available include:

• Partial dentures. Partial dentures offer a solution for replacing single or multiple teeth in a dental arch. They are held in place using metal clips, which latch the denture onto your existing natural teeth.
• Complete dentures. If you are missing all your teeth in a dental arch, complete dentures provide a comprehensive replacement and are held securely by natural suction. Denture adhesives can enhance the stability if needed, or patients may consider implant-retained dentures.
• Immediate dentures. For those who do not want to go through any period without teeth, immediate dentures provide a convenient solution. These are created before dental extractions using impressions of your mouth and placed right after your teeth are removed. These dentures require a reline or replacement after the mouth fully recovers from the extraction and may need adjustments with time.
• Implant-retained dentures. If you want a more stable and comfortable denture experience, consider implant-supported dentures. Four to eight implants are inserted into the jawbone, fusing with the bone through osseointegration. This ensures a sturdy foundation for your dentures. Plus, the implants help maintain the health of your jawbone, supporting your facial structure and averting a “hollowed-out” appearance in your cheeks.

In addition to dentures, our team at Scott and Derry Dental Care might also make recommendations for implants and bridges. There are several factors patients need to consider when thinking about the best tooth replacement service for their specialized and individualized needs. Requesting a consultation visit with our team is the best way to decide the most appropriate solution for you!
