Conventional Dentures

Conventional dentures rely on soft tissue and underlying boney support for retention and stability. Upper dentures are much more forgiving than lower dentures and are generally a good option for the replacement of missing upper teeth. The lower arch can be more complicated and often requires additional retention and support from implants in order to function well.

Conventional Upper Denture Opposing a Lower Fixed Hybrid

Conventional dentures rely on soft tissue and underlying boney support for retention and stability. Upper dentures are much more forgiving than lower dentures and are generally a good option for the replacement of missing upper teeth. The lower arch can be more complicated and often requires additional retention and support from implants in order to function well.

Hybrid prosthetics provide form, feel, and function most similar to natural teeth. It is fixated in the mouth via screws and thus cannot be removed by you. This type of prosthetic is retained by 4-6 implants.

*This combination of therapy is one of the most common treatment paths for our patients. Choosing an upper denture and combining it with a lower fixed prosthetic is often financially obtainable and can allow patients to work toward implants in the upper arch later if so desired.*

Implant Over-Denture

Implant over-dentures provide much more retention and stability than conventional dentures. In addition to improved function, they are also less bulky and do not require the palate to be covered. This is especially helpful for patients who have sensitive gag reflexes. The lack of palatal coverage also improves patient’s ability to taste more of their favorite foods.

Implant Assisted Removable Partial Dentures

Implant assisted partials can be a great option to improve the retention and stability of a conventional partial. In addition to improved function, they are also less bulky and often do not require the use of metal clasps around the remaining teeth (see below).

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Every patient requiring a full mouth rehabilitation has a unique story, and yet they all have something in common: the need to restore form, function and esthetics to improve their quality of life. The break down of teeth and supporting structures can lead to loss of function, lack of confidence, poor health, and living with pain and discomfort. A full mouth rehabilitation can involve restoring the natural teeth, rebuilding the teeth with implant therapies, or a combination of both. This type of treatment provides a long term solution to the problems that have often haunted people for decades, truly giving them the ability to function and smile with confidence again.
