Complete dentures replace all teeth in either your upper arch, lower arch, or both. These full-mouth restorations rest directly on your gums and are designed to look natural while restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Created after all teeth have been removed and tissues have healed, usually taking 8–12 weeks.
Placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to never be without teeth. These require more adjustments as gums heal and shrink.
Feature replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base connected by a metal framework that clips securely to your natural teeth.
Made from a flexible, thin plastic that blends with your gum tissue and eliminates the need for metal clasps, offering superior comfort and aesthetics.
If you still have healthy natural teeth, partial dentures offer an excellent solution. These removable appliances fill the spaces created by missing teeth while preventing your remaining teeth from shifting position.
Upper and lower dentures have different considerations:
Generally easier to adapt to because the palate creates natural suction. Many patients find upper dentures comfortable and secure even without denture adhesives.
Can be more challenging because the tongue and oral movements can dislodge them. Dr. Sheikh takes special care with lower denture design to maximize stability and comfort.
While traditional dentures offer an affordable tooth replacement option, we also provide advanced alternatives:
Implant-Supported Dentures: These revolutionary dentures snap onto dental implants placed in your jawbone, offering exceptional stability without adhesives. Benefits include:
Fixed Bridges: For replacing smaller sections of missing teeth when healthy teeth remain on both sides of the gap.
Full-Arch Dental Implants: Permanent teeth replacement that functions most like natural teeth.
During your consultation, Dr. Sheikh will discuss all options to help you choose the solution that best fits your needs, preferences, and budget.
