Denture Care In Gilbert

Full Dentures

After your remaining teeth are removed, and your tissues have healed, we place a conventional full denture. Please note that healing may take several months to complete, during which you would not have teeth.

Overdentures

Much like an Immediate/complete denture, an over-denture uses implants placed with local anesthetic, and are fitted to the implants in the same visit.
The patient will never be without their dentures. Patients report improved chewing function and stability.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture utilizes a metal framework attached to your natural teeth. In some cases, crowns are used on top of some of your teeth, and act as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures are a removable alternative to bridges.

Permanent Dentures

Gilbert permanent dentures are an alternative to missing teeth. They are typically held in place by surgically-placed dental implants, and contribute to better function during chewing, talking, and smiling.

Snap-In Dentures

Similar to overdentures, snap-in dentures are held securely in place by the gums, any remaining teeth, and metal posts that are surgically implanted in the jawbone.

Custom Dentures

For a more natural-looking smile and better fit, custom dentures are crafted with a higher quality fit and can be completely individualized to each unique mouth and jawbone.
