Do I need conventional dentures, immediate dentures or an overdenture?
Choose from conventional or immediate dentures when you require a full denture placement, meaning you have no remaining teeth or wish to remove any remaining teeth. Conventional dentures take a little longer than immediate dentures, but allow the patient to try out the denture piece before the final result. With conventional dentures, a patient’s remaining teeth are removed and the gum tissue is allowed to heal. The dentures are placed during a subsequent appointment. On the contrary, with immediate dentures, the final piece is placed immediately following tooth removal. Choose either based on your personal preference, and Dr. Miller will make a recommendation for your specific case. An overdenture, or partial denture, is used when remaining teeth can be saved and is placed over natural teeth.
