Denture Information

Welcome to Our Denture Services

At Dr. Benny Dental Office , we understand the importance of a confident, healthy smile. Whether you're missing a few teeth or need a complete set of dentures, our expert team is here to provide personalized solutions to restore your oral function and aesthetics.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types:

Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing, complete dentures can be conventional or immediate. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, while immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed.

Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from changing position.
