Dentures in Middletown-Advanced Family & Cosmetic Dentistry Middletown

Full/Complete Dentures

Dr. Pavlakis specializes in providing full dentures to replace missing teeth on the top, bottom, or both. We offer a range of complete denture options tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle preferences. Our dentures are designed to give you a balanced, white, and beautiful smile. Using advanced digital technology, we can explain the denture procedure in detail and help you make informed decisions about your new smile.

If you have missing teeth due to decay, trauma, or any other reasons, we strongly recommend considering replacement as soon as possible. Neglecting to replace missing teeth can have negative effects on self-esteem, eating habits, and even the health of your jawbone.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is designed to assist patients with multiple missing teeth but still have some healthy existing teeth. It can be removable, secured with clips or brackets, or anchored to the jawbone using dental implants. Our partial dentures are carefully crafted to look natural and provide high function for many years.

At Advanced Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that replacing many or all of your natural teeth is a significant decision. However, you can trust our team of dental professionals to make your experience positive. We will explain your denture options and help you finance your new teeth, making the denture process easy and rewarding. We offer convenient appointment times and flexible payment plans for patients who need them. Contact our office today and let us help rebuild your smile!

Immediate Dentures

An immediate denture is a denture that is made before your teeth are removed. It allows you to have a replacement for your missing teeth as soon as you leave our clinic after the extractions. Immediate dentures can replace all of your upper or lower missing teeth. Additionally, they act as a protective barrier for the extraction sockets, which need time to heal (usually 1 to 6 weeks). Without an immediate denture, there would be a significant delay in the treatment plan, as the tissues need time to heal before a new denture can be constructed. This process can take from three to six weeks, during which the patient would have to live without any teeth in their upper or lower jaws.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dentures

There are several types of dentures to meet different needs: Full or complete dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some remaining natural teeth. Immediate dentures can be placed right after tooth extraction, while implant-supported dentures use dental implants to provide additional stability. Each type has its unique benefits, and your dentist can help determine the best option based on your specific needs and lifestyle.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, which can anchor dentures securely in place. For patients with missing teeth, implants provide added stability, helping dentures feel more like natural teeth and improving comfort and function. Implant-supported dentures are a great option for those seeking a more permanent and secure solution than traditional removable dentures.
