Dentures
Dr. Tye Thompson makes full and partial dentures, immediate dentures that go in the same day as your extractions, and relines and repairs for the dentures you already have.
A consultation shows which option fits your mouth and your goals.
Overview
It depends on how many teeth you're missing and whether any need to come out. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures fill in for missing teeth while keeping your healthy ones. If you're having teeth removed, immediate dentures go in the same day as your extractions, so you don't go without teeth while you heal. And if your dentures feel loose or have broken, a reline or repair can make them fit and work again. If you'd rather have teeth that are fixed in place, ask about dental implants: Dr. Thompson places and restores those too.

The process
Dr. Thompson examines your mouth, takes X-rays and talks through full, partial and immediate options with you.
Your dentures are made for your mouth and bite. Immediate dentures are made ahead of time so they can go in the day your teeth come out.
As your gums heal and change, we adjust your dentures and reline them when needed so they keep fitting well.

Questions
Don't see your question? The front desk is glad to help.
Yes. Immediate dentures go in the same day as your extractions, so you don't have to go without teeth while you heal. They usually need adjusting or relining as your gums heal.
