This option is used to replace all the teeth on either the lower or upper jaw, and is placed in the roof of the mouth. They are also able to achieve stability and retentive strength due to maximum load spread across a larger surface area. Stability depends on the underlying tissues and health of the bone.  Upper denture retention is achieved by suction.

This type is placed immediately after the patient’s teeth are extracted. They are constructed prior to the removal of the tooth to serve as temporary solution – while the patient waits for the standard dentures to be made at a lab. As they are fitted over the sockets after extraction, they also protect the exposed sockets during the healing period.

This  type provides optimum retention as a permanent form of teeth replacement. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are strategically inserted into the patient’s jawbone to serve as anchors for added support. Although the more costlier option, the biggest benefit of implant-retained dentures is that they feel and look like natural teeth. Anchored to the implant – that is fused to the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration – they are permanently fixed and prevent shifting or sliding from position.

If you have only a few missing teeth, this may be an ideal option.They fill in the spaces left by lost or missing teeth and are attached to your natural teeth sometimes with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. The denture connects the replacement tooth or teeth to a bridge-like metal or acrylic framework. They are less expensive, compared to their fixed counterpart, however not as stable.
