Full and Partial Dentures
When our patients are missing some or all of their teeth, we will talk to them about the best denture solution to give them a full set of beautiful teeth once again. There are more choices for dentures than there were in years past. Dr. Lipson helps each patient make the right decision for their situation.
Conventional or Implant-Supported Dentures?
For many years, full dentures were manufactured to fit snugly against a patient’s gums. Now patients can choose between conventional dentures and ones that are anchored to dental implants.
For implant-supported dentures, Dr. Lipson works with carefully chosen oral surgeons. The surgeon places the implants and they are allowed to heal. Temporary dentures enable the patient to eat and maintain a normal appearance in the interim.
When the implants have fully bonded to the bone in the jaw, new dentures are manufactured that will be secured by the implants. The dentures can snap into an attachment built into the implant, or they can be permanently secured to the implant. A “snap-in” denture can be removed by the patient at home. A denture that is permanently attached to implants can be removed in our office for cleaning or repair.

It is a point of pride for Dr. Lipson to give a patient a perfect full or partial denture. It should fit comfortably, not create any areas of irritation and should complement the person’s appearance.
