DentalCares Dentures
DentalCares Dentures are offered in a wide variety of denture styles that include full and partial dentures. Our Experienced dentists will help you find the best match for your needs.
Full Dentures
At DentalCares we wants you to have the best denture you can afford. That's why we offer you a choice of three styles of full dentures, each style having its own distinct advantages.
Basic Dentures
The Basic Denture is the most economic denture and is selected by many patients. It is processed by our on-site lab and individually fit for you. The dentist and lab technician will determine the size, shape and look of the teeth, based on your needs. The Basic Denture is available with same-day service.
Premium Dentures
The Premium Denture is made with more expensive teeth for a more natural-looking denture. The Denture teeth are set in a wax base so you may try them in to see how the denture will look before it is completed. You may make changes to suit you, consistent with your dental needs. After you have approved the look of your Premium Denture, the lab will custom finish your denture in the permanent acrylic base material. It's like designing your own smile! The Premium Denture is often available the same day, however in some cases it may take longer. The practice will inform you of their delivery times.
Elite Dentures
The Elite Denture is the most natural-looking denture. It is made with the best denture teeth available, and a wide selection of tooth colors to choose from. They are impact, wear and stain resistant. The Pink denture base is also customizable to match the color of your existing gums, as with the Premium Denture, the teeth are first set in wax for you to try-in. Changes may be made at the time of try-in. After you have approved the look of your Elite Denture, the lab will then custom finish your denture in the permanent acrylic base material. Again, it's like designing your own smile. The Elite Denture is also often available the same day, however in some cases it may take longer. The practice will inform you of their delivery times.
Partial Dentures
At Dentalcares we also offer three types of partial dentures - Cast Metal and Acrylic partials.
Elite Partial Denture
Our Elite Partial Denture is a Flexible Partial and is an unbreakable, removable partial that many people find very comfortable. These lightweight partials are practically invisible, and completely eliminate the unsightly metal clasps. In fact, most Flexible Partials are fabricated without the use of a metal frame - made instead from a strong, durable plastic that snaps securely and comfortably into place around existing natural teeth and gums. The plastic used is so strong that the partial made from it can be very thin, eliminating that heavy, bulky feeling that make wearing partials so unpleasant. Plus, the color, shape and design of Flexible Partials blends in well with the natural appearance of the gums, making the partial virtually invisible.
Premium Partial Denture
The Premium Partial is a cast metal partial denture is the best partial denture, and is stronger, less bulky and offers the best fit. The Premium Partial is fabricated using a metal framework to which the on-site laboratory will attach higher grade denture teeth. This partial denture will take from two to three weeks to make since our special metal framework requires more time to process.
Standard and Basic Acrylic Partial Dentures
Acrylic Partial Dentures are a more economic partials, but they tend to feel more bulky. The partial denture has an acrylic base upon which the teeth are set and is attached to natural teeth with small metal clasps. The acrylic partial denture is often available the same day.
Same Day Dentures are normal dentures done in one day. We can accomplish this with the Red Apple Dentures because our lab is in our office. For Patients who need the convenience of a one day denture, it is available upon request.
The First-Time Denture Wearer Package is available for first time denture wearers and offers a significant savings to patients who need extractions and require an immediate denture. The package includes an immediate denture, a second denture after healing is complete, and all the other services needed to help you adjust to wearing dentures for the first time. For people experiencing loose and painful natural teeth and considering dentures this is our best service. Our staff will be glad to explain the details of the package and the related savings that you will enjoy.
Implant Retained Dentures: are quite expensive and significantly more complicated than dentures made without the support of Implants. (generally about $2000 per implant, not counting the tooth replacement that goes on top of them) but this treatment is quite effective in retaining an otherwise non retentive denture. A titanium "screw" is actually placed into a hole drilled into the bone to approximate the position of teeth. After several months, the titanium has integrated (attached) into the bone, and the implant is then uncovered and a post which "pokes" through the gums into the mouth is attached to the implant. This post may support a porcelain tooth, or it may support an attachment for a denture. If the patient has NO teeth at all in any given arch (upper or lower), a full mouth of individual implants attached to porcelain teeth and bridges could cost about what an expensive automobile costs. On the other hand, a minimum of 2 implants can maintain a lower denture which would not otherwise be tolerated by that patient. More than two implants are needed for upper implant retained dentures. Although the dentures that fit over implants are considerably more expensive than standard dentures, they offer the added advantage of allowing upper dentures to be built in the shape of an arch instead of having to cover the entire palate. This is of special significance to people who otherwise cannot wear full dentures because they make them gag. Implant retained dentures have special significance for people who cannot wear lower dentures. As an edentulous (toothless) person ages, and the bone continues to resorb away, lower ridges frequently disappear entirely. Thus there is no vertical bone underlying the gums to stabilize a lower denture. These people frequently cannot wear a lower denture at all. The addition of two implants in the front of the lower jaw can make it possible to retain a lower denture which would otherwise be impossible for the patient to tolerate.
Mini-implant Retained Dentures: Since their introduction in the late 1990's, mini implants are beginning to become the standard of care for retaining lower dentures. Unlike the standard implants discussed above, there is no three to six month waiting period before mini implants can be loaded (support the denture). Mini implants can generally be placed in the lower jaw without cutting an incision in the gums. The only anesthesia used is an injection directly over the site of each implant. The old lower denture can then be retrofitted directly over the newly placed implants, and the patient can use the denture immediately. Furthermore, because the implants are about the size of a standard wooden toothpick (they are made out of a titanium alloy), patients who have been told that there is not enough bone to accommodate standard implants can generally be fitted with minis. The entire procedure (placing the implants and retrofitting the old denture so that it is supported by the newly placed minis) takes about one hour. It is generally painless, and produces very minimal post operative discomfort. Finally, due to the ease of insertion, this procedure is much less expensive than standard implants for retaining lower dentures.
