Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all the teeth in a jaw. Partial dentures fill the gaps between your remaining natural teeth.

Can dentures be made more secure?

Yes. Implant-supported dentures clip onto dental implants, so they do not move or slip.

What is the difference between a crown and an implant?

A crown covers a tooth you still have. An implant replaces a missing tooth with a titanium root and a crown on top.
