Dentures In Pittsburgh

Dentistry is all about smiles, and having a confident, healthy, beautiful smile is important even for patients wearing dentures. Our practice provides personalized denture services that meet the needs and comfort levels of our patients. All of our patients are unique and we create one-of-a-kind dentures that feel good and look natural.

Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types of dentures: full and partial.



• Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed and may require frequent adjustments during the first couple of months of use.
• Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to bridges

A partial is a denture used to replace missing teeth when the patient still has multiple natural teeth remaining. Also known as a Removable Partial Denture (RPD), this device is removable and is not permanently attached to your teeth or jawbone. 

Partials are completely customized from an exact replica of your mouth for a seamless, natural-looking fit. The partial uses clasps that hold on to your natural teeth to stay in position. To be a candidate for a partial, you need to have a few healthy, stable teeth surrounding the missing teeth in order to support the partial.
