Types of
Dentures

Traditional Dentures (“Plates”) — Full dentures cover your entire arch, replacing all of the upper or lower teeth at one time. Before getting a denture, any of your remaining teeth will need to be extracted. Same day dentures are available in some cases.

Partial Dentures — To preserve your healthy teeth, a partial denture clips into place around the ones you’re able to maintain. Partials use small clasps to wrap around your remaining teeth for added security.

Overdentures — If wearing a traditional plate is a bit of a challenge when it comes to keeping it in place, we can use a pair of implants to help stabilize it during the day. Your plate will clip onto them but is still removable at night.

Hybrid Implant Prosthesis — In lieu of wearing a traditional denture, hybrid prosthetics are more streamlined in shape and are permanently affixed to your mouth. As few as 4-6 implants are needed.

Denture Maintenance and Adjustments

Taking good care of your denture in Newport, New Hampshire will help it last longer and feel comfortable. As your mouth changes over time, bone shrinks, and acrylic wears out, our Newport dentist will need to provide adjustments or denture relines to keep your prosthesis fitting properly.

We recommend bringing your denture in during your six-month checkup to have it checked and cleaned.
