Services
Full Dentures
Custom-crafted full dentures replace all upper or lower teeth with natural-looking acrylic bases and Vitapan teeth. Our premium options use advanced materials for superior fit, durability, and aesthetics, ensuring comfortable eating and confident smiling. Patients receive personalized consultations to determine optimal design and receive detailed cost breakdowns before treatment.
Partial Dentures
Acrylic and chrome cobalt partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth while preserving natural teeth. Chrome options offer thin, lightweight frameworks for enhanced comfort and aesthetics. Flexible thermoplastic alternatives provide metal-free solutions with discreet gum-colored clasps, ideal for patients with sensitivities or specific aesthetic requirements.
Denture Repair
Same-day denture repairs for cracked bases, broken teeth, or damaged clasps. Our on-site laboratory enables rapid fixes for most common issues, with complex chrome repairs completed within 3-5 business days. Technicians use matching materials to restore functionality and aesthetics while preventing further damage from ill-fitting prosthetics.
Flexible Dentures
Metal-free ThermoSens flexible dentures feature gum-colored clasps and 15 shade options for natural aesthetics. The monomer-free thermoplastic material resists staining and allergic reactions while providing comfortable, secure fit. Ideal for replacing 1-6 missing teeth with minimal bulk and maximum durability.
Chrome Cobalt Dentures
Precision-engineered chrome cobalt partials combine strength with minimal thickness. The biocompatible alloy conducts temperature naturally for authentic eating experiences while maintaining stability during chewing. Custom-designed clasps ensure secure retention with reduced visibility compared to traditional acrylic-based partials.
