Dentures and Partials

Though many advances have been made in the field of dentistry, loss of teeth is still an ongoing problem In the United States, 26% of adults between the ages of sixty-five and seventy-five have lost all of their teeth. Currently, there are a number of options available for people who have lost their teeth. One of the most versatile and affordable is a set of removable dentures.

Standard full dentures are ones that comprise a full set of upper and lower teeth. This type of denture uses suction to stay in place. However, it is for this reason that standard full dentures require routine visits to the dentist. The dentures are susceptible to shrinkage, thus creating an ill-fitting prosthetic that will result in the atrophy of the jawbone.
