Services
Denture Relines
Denture relines address gum shrinkage that causes loose fittings and sore spots. Our clinic provides same-day relines using appropriate materials determined through oral examination. Soft silicone bases are available for damaged gums, with immediate service to maintain patient comfort and functionality.
Denture Repairs
Emergency denture repairs are completed within hours using our on-site laboratory. We fix cracks, chips, and broken bases while maintaining structural integrity. Additional teeth and clips can be added to partial dentures following extractions for continued functionality.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures use as few as two implants for lower jaws and four for upper jaws to provide superior stability. This solution prevents movement during eating and speaking while preserving jawbone density through direct stimulation from titanium implants.
Conventional Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all missing teeth using acrylic or metal-acrylic combinations. Our custom designs restore facial contours and oral function while addressing individual anatomical challenges. We incorporate soft base options for patients with compromised gum tissue.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures offer fixed solutions with over 98% clinical success rates. These restorations integrate with jawbone tissue for maximum stability, allowing natural eating and speaking functions. We offer All-On-X style reconstructions for complete mouth rehabilitation.

Will I have teeth during healing periods?
Existing dentures can usually be worn immediately. Temporary dentures are available if needed, ensuring no appearance disruption during recovery.
What makes implants better than conventional dentures?
Implants provide superior stability, preserve jawbone density, and allow natural eating and speaking functions without bulkiness or movement.
How many visits are needed for implant treatment?
Complete implant-assisted restoration typically requires 8-10 visits covering consultation, surgery, abutment placement, and prosthesis fitting.
What is PRF technology?
Platelet Rich Fibrin accelerates healing and reduces complications. Particularly beneficial for smokers, diabetics, and patients with healing concerns.
