Dentures & Partials
You have several options to replace missing teeth, but full and partial dentures remain popular because they are affordable and work well for many people.
Why Choose Derhake Dental for Dentures
Getting dentures is a big step. It’s crucial for your peace of mind to work with a dentist who respects your needs and treats you with empathy and understanding. That’s exactly what you will find at Derhake Dental with Dr. Sarah Spring and her caring team.
You can rely on Dr. Spring to consider all your wants and desires and customize your tooth replacement to the smallest detail. She aims to create dentures that meet and exceed your expectations for a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Types of Dentures We Offer
There are three main types of dentures: full, partial, and implant-supported. Each works in a different way to meet the unique needs of each patient. However, the goal is the same in every case—provide strong, beautiful replacement teeth.
Full Dentures
A full denture is a removable appliance used to replace teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. At Derhake Dental, we customize your prosthetic using the most advanced materials that closely resemble your natural gums and teeth.
Full dentures are supported by the gums and soft tissues in the mouth. Dr. Spring takes digital impressions of your mouth and sends them to a dental lab that customizes your dentures to fit perfectly.
Partial Dentures
If you have only a few missing teeth, we recommend a removable partial denture to fill the gaps in your smile. Like a full denture, a partial is made of acrylic plastic, porcelain, and metal and customized to fit in with remaining teeth.
We customize your partial to fit in with existing teeth and fill the gaps. Metal clasps, precision attachments, or crowns may be used to keep your partial in place, and they may or may not be removable, depending on your unique needs.
Adding partial dentures to fill the gaps in your smile also helps keep your teeth from moving or shifting out of place.
Implant Over-Dentures
Many patients prefer a more stable and permanent solution than removable dentures offer. An implant-supported denture is an excellent alternative if you have sufficient bone in your jaw to place dental implants.
A removable denture rests on the gums, but an implant-supported denture is secured and stabilized by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
What’s Involved with Getting Dentures?
Each set of dentures requires several appointments to ensure a complete and thorough process.
- Dr. Spring will work closely with you to ensure that your replacement teeth are carefully crafted to complement your smile, facial features, skin tone, and eye color.
- Before we create your final dentures, you will receive a trial set to take home and evaluate.
- Your final dentures are created by an outstanding custom dental lab using only the highest quality materials.
