Types of Dentures
Standard Dentures
Dentures are artificial replacements used to replace teeth when you no longer have natural teeth. They are used by millions of people with acceptable results.
Immediate dentures
Immediate dentures are dentures that are inserted into a patient’s mouth on the same day or immediately after teeth are extracted. They are made by a dental lab from impressions or molds that are made before teeth are extracted. They work well for patients that can not wait three to six months for their gums to heal after extractions. They will require relining or replacement after six to 12 months after shrinkage and healing is complete.
Cusil Dentures
Cusil Dentures are partial dentures with soft rubber or silicone gaskets placed around existing or remaining teeth to help hold the partial denture in place.
Overdentures
Overdentures are dentures that are made over existing teeth in the mouth. Usually, they are teeth that have been capped or crowned. They help secure the denture in place.
Implant Retained Dentures and Mini Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures are dentures that are secured in place by implants or attachments that have been surgically placed in a patient’s upper or lower jawbone to make the denture more secure. Mini implant retained dentures perform the same function, but are used for patients with smaller jawbones.
Duplicate Dentures
Duplicate, clone, spare. or embarrassment dentures are usually dentures made or molded from an existing denture and used for an emergency spare denture. They can be made in several different ways. The most inexpensive way is to mold or duplicate an existing denture. The cost for this is about 25% of the cost of making new dentures from an impression. No additional dentist appointment is required.
