Full or Partial Dentures in Birmingham, AL

Dentures near Birmingham, AL, are an affordable way to replace missing teeth. They have a long history of success and remain a viable option for restoring your smile. At Prime Smile Dental, we offer customized denture solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. Dr. Prabha will help you decide whether full or partial dentures are best for you.

Understanding Dentures

Dentures are removable substitutes for missing teeth. Full dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures replace a few missing teeth to fill gaps and improve chewing. Each denture treatment is customized to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.

Full Dentures: Conventional and Implant-Supported

Conventional Full Dentures

Full dentures are an economical and efficient way to restore your smile when all teeth are missing. A complete denture consists of a gum-colored acrylic base with porcelain or acrylic replacement teeth that look natural. This allows you to customize your smile to suit your preferences.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Modern technology has improved denture fit and function. Implant-supported dentures are securely attached to your jaw with dental implants, providing greater retention and a more natural look. They tend to last longer than conventional dentures. Dr. Prabha can help you understand the benefits of implant-supported dentures.

Varieties of Dentures

Immediate Dentures or Transitional Dentures

Immediate dentures are prepared before tooth extraction, ensuring you never have to be without teeth. They allow for a smooth transition and healing period until you are ready for your final denture or a permanent reline.

Conventional Dentures

• Classic Dentures: Designed for a natural appearance and functionality.
• Premium Dentures: Featuring more naturalistic teeth and chip-resistant materials. We offer a three-year guarantee and guaranteed satisfaction with our premium dentures.

Snap-On Dentures

Snap-on dentures are an excellent solution for those who prefer not to use adhesive. They offer improved quality of life, allowing you to enjoy food without worry. Depending on bone quality, these dentures are made with regular or mini implants.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are an economical solution for replacing missing teeth, filling spaces, improving chewing, and restoring confidence in your smile. They also help prevent natural teeth from shifting, reducing the risk of losing them.

Varieties of Partial Dentures

• Cast Partials: Traditional partials with metal hooks that rest on your teeth for support. They are durable and custom-designed through a casting process.
• Flexible Partials: Made with advanced materials, these partials have gum-colored flexible clasps and rest on gums, offering a more patient-friendly option.
• Implant-Supported Partials: Adding implants to partials provides flexibility and helps delay total tooth loss (edentulism).

Most partial dentures have a thin metal framework designed with small clasps that wrap around the gum line of existing teeth. This framework provides a secure, non-bulky appliance that is easy to use and remove.

Replacement teeth are attached to the framework, and gum-colored acrylic covers the metal for a natural look. Dr. Prabha works with skilled technicians to create functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing partial dentures.
