Services
Full Dentures
Custom-crafted full dentures restore complete tooth replacement with natural aesthetics and functionality. Using precision measurements and BPS technology, we create comfortable, well-fitting solutions that improve chewing efficiency and facial structure. Our process includes comprehensive consultations to determine optimal material selection and design specifications for long-term oral health.
Partial Dentures
Metal and acrylic partial dentures preserve remaining natural teeth while restoring chewing function. Our designs prioritize hygiene and comfort, using cast titanium frameworks for durability. Flexible acrylic options provide allergy-friendly alternatives with esthetic benefits, requiring specialized maintenance protocols for optimal performance.
Denture Implants
Implant-retained dentures offer enhanced stability and bone preservation. We coordinate with specialist dentists for surgical placement, then fabricate precision attachments that clip onto implants. This solution reduces tissue irritation, improves chewing efficiency by 25-30%, and provides natural-feeling functionality through secure anchoring.
Relines and Repairs
Same-day relines and repairs address fit issues from gum atrophy or damage. Our process reshapes denture bases to match changing oral anatomy, while structural repairs restore broken prosthetics. Annual examinations help prevent complications from ill-fitting dentures, maintaining optimal function and comfort.
BPS Dentures
BPS-certified dentures use advanced SR Ivocap technology for superior fit and natural appearance. This injection-molded system minimizes shrinkage, prevents bacterial growth, and creates life-like teeth with optimal occlusion. Certification since 2003 ensures consistent quality through specialized training and technical standards.
