Partials and Dentures

Dentures can help take the place of missing natural teeth. Dentures allow patients to chew and speak more easily while improving their appearance and often boosting self-confidence. Full dentures are used when all of a patient's teeth need to be replaced. Partial dentures, or bridges, are used when only a few teeth are missing. In either case, dentures can help you look and feel your best.

Highbridge

Highbridge is a branded name for a "screw-retained denture" which is one unit that replaces all of your teeth. It is like a denture, except that it is screwed in. Highbridge is made out of the same materials as dentures, plastic and acrylic with plastic and acrylic teeth. It is better than dentures because it is more stable and makes it easier to eat. From a strength and aesthetic standpoint, porcelain will look more natural, last longer, and be stronger than Highbridge.

Highbridge can be a lower initial investment, but can also be a "quick fix" compared to other alternatives that may be long lasting. They may need to be replaced after a period of time. We offer both dentures and bridges, and will recommend the best option specifically for you.
