Dentures are constructed to replace missing teeth and soft tissue structures. Dentures are removable and are made to closely resemble natural tissue. Dentures are constructed using materials that make them very durable, and you may anticipate your custom dentures lasting many years.
There are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures are made to replace all of the teeth of one arch. By working with your dentist at one of our greater Phoenix area offices to select the shape, size and shade of these teeth you can create a beautiful new smile. Implants can be used to stabilize a complete denture, and these dentures are made similarly to regular dentures.

Partial dentures are used when either one or more teeth are missing and some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures help maintain proper spacing of the remaining teeth and can also prevent these teeth from shifting.
Your Phoenix, AZ dentures dentists recommend conventional dentures when all teeth are missing and gum tissues have had time to heal completely. If you have been without your teeth for some time, you will only need to wait for their dentures to be made before wearing them. Although, patients needing extractions of decayed teeth can leave with dentures that day, additional steps are needed to convert to the final denture. They will need to wait for tissues to heal and harden before they can wear a set of conventional dentures. Typically, gum tissues heal fully within several months following an extraction or other dental treatment. By this time, a dental lab has your customized dentures ready for you to wear.
Using full or partial dentures to replace missing teeth prevents atrophy of your gums, restores proper chewing and speaking abilities and reduces loss of jawbone density. Although one, two or three missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants, full or partial dentures are needed when numerous teeth have been lost due to disease or trauma. Unlike dental implants, which require minimally invasive surgery, your custom dentures in the greater Phoenix area can be implemented without the need for any cutting or heavy anesthesia as long extractions are not involved in providing patients with dentures.
Complete and partial dentures are used to support facial tissues and enhance your smile. Complete dentures restore tooth structure when all of the teeth have been removed. Partial dentures restore tooth structure as well as help maintain any remaining structures when only some teeth have been lost.
