Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are delivered the same day teeth are removed, so you never go without teeth. These dentures require adjustments over the initial healing period until fully relined at 6-12 months after extractions.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional Dentures are made after the tissue has healed for 6-12 months. We use the highest quality teeth when designing your dentures.
Snap-In Implant Dentures
Snap-in dentures (also called overdentures) utilize strategically placed implants for added denture retention. Snap-in dentures are still removable but offer a much better fit when compared to conventional dentures. Typically, most denture patient complain that the lower denture feels like it is “floating”. By adding 2-4 implants and a snap-in denture, you can regain your confidence to laugh, smile, eat, and speak without the fear that the lower denture will come out.
Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures are an excellent and affordable way to replace several missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. A partial denture is an appliance that has teeth connected to a pink gum colored base that is either flexible or made from cast metal. Partial dentures can help teeth from shifting and help with eating and chewing.
Flexible Partials
Flexible base partial dentures (often called Valplast partials) use a flexible yet strong material that is metal free to replace missing teeth. These appliances are custom made to ensure proper fit and esthetics.
Cast Metal Framework Partials
These customized dental appliances fit over your existing teeth to fill in gaps and help restore your ability to eat and chew. They are very strong and in most cases can be used for many years if the remaining natural teeth are healthy.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
“Teeth in a day”
With a traditional denture, certain eating restrictions still apply including hard and sticky foods. With permanent “teeth in a day” dental implants you can return to eating the foods you once enjoyed. By placing 4-6 implants per arch, we can design and make a prosthetic that screws in permanently in just one day.
This procedure has become more affordable in recent years due to advances in surgical implant planning software and dental techniques. Get teeth today that stay fixed in place. Call us for a dental implant consultation and get your confidence back!
Frequently Asked Questions
Dentures and Partials in Puyallup, WA
-
We believe cared for dentures and partials can last 7-10 years. To adequately care for your dentures you will need to have them adequately checked by our team every 6 months to ensure they are continuing to fit well. If you have a partial, it is crucial to keep your natural teeth healthy as losing more teeth could greatly impact the fit of your partial.
-
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth. They typically are made from acrylic resin and act as a tooth replacement option. Although they can replace all your teeth, there are some downsides to denture. You will have a decreased taste of food and a decreased chewing ability. If you are missing all your teeth or need your remaining teeth removed, implants are a great way to get an increased ability to chew versus conventional dentures.
-
Typically, dentures need replaced every 7 years if cared for properly. This is because without teeth, the bone in the jaw will resorb over time. As the jaw resorbs the dentures will become loose. Over the years this gap that forms can be filled in with a hard material, called a hard reline. If the denture teeth become worn, we most likely will recommend new dentures be made.
-
Dentures typically cost $2100-2500 per arch of teeth and dental insurance usually covers a large portion of this cost. Call us today to see what your dental insurance coverage will allow.
