At Parkland Smile Dental we offer multiple types of dentures:
Full and Partial Dentures
There are two types of full dentures. Conventional full dentures are when any remaining teeth are removed and the tissue is given time to heal. Once healed, the full set of dentures is placed. Immediate full dentures, by contrast, are placed in the same dental visit
Implant-Retained Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on suction and soft tissue support to stay in place and are removable, implant-retained dentures combine the advantages of dentures with those of dental implants. You get to enjoy the stability, esthetics, and longevity of implants with the affordability of dentures.
Hybrid Dentures
Hybrid dentures, or fixed-detachable prostheses, are dentures that attach to four or more implants in the jaw. They do not rub against the gums like removable dentures can, and they work much more like natural teeth, opening up a wider range of food possibilities to the patient.
