Dentures And Partial Dentures in Green Bay

Dentures are artificial teeth that take the place of your natural teeth that have been lost or damaged. They're custom-made dental appliances that match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.

What Types Of Affordable Quality Dentures Are Available?

Dental technology has been vastly improved recently, and dentures now have the same translucent appearance of natural teeth, and they're easier to maintain. Although they may be somewhat expensive initially, with proper maintenance, they can last for years, decades, or a lifetime. Call our Green Bay office if you have any questions and we'll be happy to answer them. The following are some of your options for artificial teeth, and your dentist will help you decide which is best for your unique needs.

Full Denture/Complete Denture

These two are the same thing, they're just called by different names sometimes. A full or complete denture will replace all the teeth in your jaw and can be used for upper or lower teeth. If it's removable, it will rest atop your gums. If it's fixed, then it will be anchored to implants.

Partial Denture

If you have some healthy teeth in your jaw, a partial denture can restore complete function. A partial is similar to a bridge but has clasps that attach to abutting teeth and must be removed nightly for cleaning.

Flexible Partial Denture

A flexible partial denture differs from a standard partial because of its construction. A flexible partial is made of a flexible material that's more comfortable and the base and clasps are all gum-colored so it looks very realistic.

Implant-Supported Denture

An implant-supported denture is secured by implants on either end of the denture. The number of implants will vary depending on the individual, and the denture can be permanently installed or removable. They can be bar-retained or ball-retained but are removable and must be removed and cleaned nightly.

Some implant-supported dentures are permanently affixed to implants and can't be removed. They need two, four, or more implants and are the most natural in appearance, function, and maintenance. You always have a full mouth of healthy teeth.

All-On-4® Treatment Concept

All-on-4 dentures use four implants to support the denture. Two implants are installed at an angle in the back, which provides maximum stability and increased biting power. If you have questions about the All-on-4 procedure, call our Green Bay office and we'll help you.

What's The Procedure For Getting Dentures?

There are several steps to getting dentures, and your specific procedure will depend on several factors, including the type of denture you're getting.

When you come to our Green Bay office, your dentist will examine your mouth and recommend the best type of dentures for your needs and lifestyle. They'll measure your mouth and make impressions of your teeth, and any damaged or diseased teeth will be extracted. We'll provide you with a temporary denture, and if you're getting implants, we'll install them at this time.

When your surgical sites have healed, if applicable, and your permanent denture arrives, you'll return to have it fitted for form and comfort.

How Much Will My Dentures Cost?

The cost of your new teeth will be unique to you and will depend on several factors, such as:

• The type of denture you need
• The number of implants needed
• Additional work needed
• The number of office visits needed
• Your insurance coverage

We recommend that you contact your insurance provider before your appointment so you know your plan provisions, benefits, exclusions, and limitations. If finances are an option, let us know. We have a variety of financing options and we'll work with you so that you can have the dentures you need at a price you can afford.

What Is A Soft Denture Reline?

A soft reline covers the hard acrylic of traditional dentures with a soft, pliable material that's much more comfortable. A spft reline also eliminates many of the sore spots and much of the pain that sometimes plagues denture wearers.
