We understand that every patient has unique dental needs and preferences. That's why we offer different types of dentures to accommodate various tooth replacement requirements:
Traditional dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They consist of a gum-colored acrylic base that holds a set of artificial teeth. Traditional dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and securely. With proper care, they provide an effective and cost-efficient tooth replacement solution.
Dr. Maritza Salvo-Ale has extensive experience handling dental emergencies. She has the knowledge, skills, and expertise to diagnose and treat many urgent dental conditions. Dr. Salvo-Ale stays up-to-date with the latest advancements in emergency dentistry to provide you with the highest standard of care.
Partial dentures are for patients with natural teeth remaining. We use them to fill the gaps created by missing teeth and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. Partial dentures are removable and typically have a metal or acrylic framework that holds the artificial teeth in place.
For patients seeking a more stable and permanent tooth replacement option, implant-supported dentures are an excellent choice. These dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures provide exceptional stability and prevent bone loss in the jaw, offering a secure and long-lasting solution.
When you choose Affinity Dental for your denture needs, you can expect a comprehensive and personalized treatment process:
During your initial consultation, Dr. Salvo-Ale will evaluate your oral health, discuss your tooth replacement goals, and recommend the most suitable denture option. This consultation allows you to ask questions and address any concerns.
Once the type of denture is determined, Dr. Salvo-Ale will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will include the number of appointments required, the timeline for the procedure, and any necessary preparatory treatments.
To ensure a precise fit, we will take images and measurements of your mouth. We use these impressions to fabricate your custom dentures, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
Using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, our skilled dental laboratory will craft your dentures to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. The artificial teeth are carefully selected to achieve a natural appearance and restore your smile's aesthetics.
Once your dentures are ready, Dr. Salvo-Ale will fit them into your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. She will provide instructions on how to care for and maintain your dentures for long-lasting performance.
