Dentures and partials are removable dental prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and their surrounding tissues. They provide a reliable solution to restore your smile if you are not eligible for dental implants. At Covenant Dental, we offer complete dentures for those requiring full-arch restoration and partial dentures for patients with some healthy teeth remaining.

The following is a look at your complete denture options:

• Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are positioned immediately after removing any remaining failing teeth, so you don't go without teeth for a single day. However, as your gums and jawbone heal, they shrink and change shape, meaning your dentures may no longer provide a comfortable fit. Immediate dentures are considered interim restorations worn for about 3-4 months during healing.
• Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are created from impressions of your mouth after the area heals, providing the best possible fit, comfort, and function. Your new restorations will allow you to enjoy a wider variety of your favorite foods, speak more clearly, and smile with confidence. With proper care, they have the potential to last for many years.

The following are your partial denture options:

• Metal Frame Partials: These traditional partials provide a strong, durable solution to complete your smile. They consist of metal frameworks covered by a gum-colored material supporting prosthetic teeth made to match your smile. They are secured to your natural teeth using metal clasps or more aesthetic precision attachments.
• Flexible Partials: Flexible partials are removable oral appliances made from a flexible, biocompatible material. They are designed to be more comfortable and less noticeable than other denture options. Flexible partials don't require metal clasps, using thin extensions to grip onto your gums.
