Precision Dentures
The main difference between the standard and precision dentures, besides the cost, is the quality of materials and slightly different techniques used to build the dentures.
While standard dentures are fabricated using the basic standard teeth, materials and the usual number of appointments, precision dentures as the name describes are more precise dentures thattake into account precise fit, high-quality premiums teeth, materials, and usually more appointments. Precision dentures take into account your mouth and skull shape and size along with the measurements of your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) angles so that the dentures look more natural and work more precisely for you. Precision dentures involve the extra appointments for Facebook, pin trace, and condyle, measurements. Call our office to learn more about precision.

Following immediate dentures insertion, there are follow-up appointments that takecare of the shrinkage process and other associated discomfort. Once the healing is completed, an immediate denture is relined and converted to a long-term denture, or, in some cases, a new denture is fabricated.

It may also be indicated for elderly patients whose Help contraindicates lengthy and physically trying appointments often associated with fixed partial denture construction for these patients simple clinical procedures required to construct and insert interim partial dentures usually can be well tolerated.
Transitional Partial Denture

A transitional denture is an ideal option for; elderly patients, patients suffering from a chronic debilitating disease where multiple extractions are not a good option. Transitional partial dentures are a transition towards a complete denture in most cases.

Continuing care of Existing Denture
Do you have a denture that rocks and moves? is your denture loose? Have you broken dentures? Not all denture-related issues mean the fabrication of new prostheses. A reline, rebase, or repair may resolve your problem. We can help you with the issues related to your dentures.
Relines:
Relines to your existing dentures often occur when bone and tissues change due to shrinkage. There could be many possible reasons for shrinkage such as that after immediate denture inserting, after tooth loss, due to weight loss, or bone loss in the upper and lower jaw or the overall systemic health.
The bite position, existing teeth, and acrylic base(s) must be in good condition and not worn or stained to provide a reline procedure. An impression of your oral tissue is taken inside your denture(s) to make a model out of it. The new acrylic base material is added to your denture to produce a correct fit. The appearance of your dentures will not change, but the fit will get better.
Rebase:
The procedure is similar to relining. The difference being is that a rebase replaces all the pink-acrylic denture base material. The existing teeth remain in the same place. Reasons for rebase procedure includes:
- Broken denture
- The weakened or old pink denture base
- Immediate denture after the healing proses of the oral cavity
