• Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth.

  • • Full dentures

    • Partial dentures

    • Temporary dentures

    • Fixed bridge

    • Cantilever bridge

    • Implant-supported fixed dentures

    • Snap-on dentures

  • Full dentures consist of both upper and lower sets which can be removed and placed back in the mouth. Both of these sets rest on the gum. With proper care and maintenance, full dentures can last anywhere from 5–10 years.

  • Partial dentures are designed to fill the gap created by missing teeth. They can be unclipped and removed when needed.

  • Temporary dentures or immediate dentures can be fitted right after the teeth have been removed. They are often used while you are waiting for your permanent dentures to be fitted.

  • A fixed bridge is used to replace missing teeth by surgically cementing an artificial tooth, known as a crown, to the remaining natural teeth on each side. Like all surgically fixed dentures—including implants, implant–supported dentures, and snap-on dentures—fixed bridges tend to cost more than removable dentures.

  • A cantilever bridge is recommended when a molar is missing and there are no teeth on 1 side of it to support the bridge.

  • Implant-supported dentures are the middle ground between the conventional denture that uses adhesive and the more expensive advanced full-arch dental implants.
