Dentures & Bridges
The absence of teeth doesn’t necessitate bidding farewell to a confident smile.
At BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand the uniqueness of each patient, and we craft individualized dentures that not only feel comfortable but also look entirely natural.
There are two main types of dentures:
- Full Dentures:
- Immediate Full Dentures: These are provided right after the removal of all natural teeth. They may need frequent adjustments in the initial months of use.
- Conventional Full Dentures: These are placed once the gum tissue has healed, a process that typically takes several months.
- Partial Dentures:
- These are utilized to fill the gaps left by removed permanent teeth and serve as a removable alternative to bridges.
- Partial dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to either an acrylic (gum-colored) base or a metal frame, fitting between your natural teeth.
Additionally, dental bridges are an alternative to partial dentures:
- A dental bridge helps replace missing teeth, maintaining facial shape, and reducing stress on your bite.
- Comprising materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination, bridges are bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
