Complete Denture Sets

Platinum Level:  A state of the art composite plastic tooth layered in such a way that it is hard to differentiate from natural teeth.  Not only is this tooth esthetically beautiful but it possesses extremely durable and efficient wear characteristics, a must for those individuals wearing a denture with opposing natural teeth.  Highly recommended for those of us who seem to grind our teeth a little more than others. 

Gold Level:  A multi-layered acrylic tooth with great esthetic characteristics and a good track record of providing sufficient wear longevity.  A good solid denture that is capable of satisfying most needs. 

Silver Level: A two layered acrylic tooth with fair esthetics and minimal durability against wear.  Although this level does not have all of the features of the others, it is a very affordable alternative. 

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are made for people who still have some teeth to extract.  Before having those teeth extracted we take impressions of their mouth and process a denture from this impression.  When the dentist is finished removing the remaining teeth he or she inserts the denture to give that person a new full set of teeth.  The denture acts as a bandage, keeping the extraction sites clean and free of food.  Over the following six months after surgery, temporary liners will be placed into the denture to compensate for any changes inside the mouth.  After about six months of temporary liners are placed a permanent reline is processed in place of the temporary liners

Implant Secured Dentures

This ia a denture that is fitted over the top of a custom made metal bar or is fitted over locator imlant parts.  In either of these scenarios the denture/s is then attached to multiple implants integrated into the bone of the jaw.  The denture contains clips that snap onto the bar or locators, providing excellent retention and stability.  While, it is a lenghty process including surgery and a lenghtly healing time, patients find it well worth it.  Latest statistics show success rates in the high 90% rate.  The actual surgery for the implant placement is referred to an oral surgeon whom specializes in such procedures.  We recommend a free consultation to educate yourself on the different kinds of implants and options you may have available to you.

Partial Dentures

Metal Frame Partial:  All of our metal framed partials are custom cast to our specifications for superb fit and finish.  Then the tooth of your choice is placed on the frame here in our own lab. 

Flexible Partials:  As an exciting alternative to metal framed partials we feature a totally flexilbe yet durable partial.  These partials feature further esthetic qualities, such as hidden clasps and a more comfortable fit.

Flexible Hybrid Partial:  A flexible partial with a metal based frame within the flexilbe material.  For those whom need an even more durable alternative, due to strength of bite.

Temporary Partial:  Also known as a flipper, is used when only a few teeth are missing.  It is for short term use and is usually worn only until a more permanent solution can be attained. 

Relines/Rebase

Should you have a poor fitting denture but it is still in good condition, it can, in most cases, have a new layer of material placed in it.  This allows the denture to be refit to any changes that might have occurred in your mouth.  Relines can, in most cases, be completed in one day.

Softliner

Softliners are a silicone based material that is processed to the tissue side of a lower denture.  Because of its flexible nature, this material allows your denture to engage any undercuts that form in the bone structure of your lower jaw anatomy.  Softliners also provide a certain level of cushion against most normal biting forces.  Softliners can be added to any level of denture, even an existing denture that may need to be relined.  This i a great option for those with little bone structure remaining in their lower jaw.

Repairs

Repairs can usually be completed the same day they are brought in to us.  If an impression is needed it may take a little longer.  Please inquire within for prices and time to complete due to extensive variation case by case.

Night Guards/Sport Guards

Night guards are a great way to reduce the effects of grinding your teeth at night.  They are made from a double layered material to help cushion and protect your teeth while you sleep.  Night guards prevent you from waking up with a sore jaw or headaches and help prolong the chance of having to buy any of our other products in the future.  Sports guards are made from a similar material to protect from unsuspecting blows.
