Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases. Depending on your needs, your dentist will design a partial denture for you. A partial denture may have a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth, or they can have other connectors that are more natural looking. In some cases, a removable partial denture is made to attach to your natural teeth with devices called precision attachments. Precision attachments are generally more esthetic than clasps.
Crowns on your natural teeth are sometimes needed to improve the fit of a removable partial denture and they are usually required with attachments. Partial dentures with precision attachments generally cost more than those with clasps. Consult with your dentist to find out which type is right for you.
Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. If youve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Thats because dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you could without teeththings that people often take for granted.
When you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making you look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile.
Even if you wear full dentures, you still have to practice good dental hygiene. Brush your gums, tongue and roof of your mouth every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.

You know from the moment you walk into Dental Innovation that each person working there cares about you. They listen they explain and offer you the best solution for your problem. Always with a smile on their face. I used to get terrible anxiety when I had a dental appointment but not any longer. They make sure you are comfortable and continue to check to make sure you are still comfortable. I cannot explain what a wonderful experience Dental Innovation is. Thank you!,

This was our child's first dentist interaction and it was fantastic. They took the time to show him the various tools they'd be using and explaining what they were doing so he was at ease. Very good interaction for him as the patient and myself as the parent. Provided tips on things to watch for and areas that need watched/more brushing, etc. Very pleased with our visit. Thank you again, HUXTON.

This is the best dental office I have been too. From what I witnessed, my dentist, the dental hygienists, and the other workers are friendly, knowledgeable, intelligent, efficient, and the office seems up to date with their technology which also helps out a lot in my opinion. Keep up the awesome work!

Top line dental work! Not only are they courteous and professional they have the most up to date equipment! I will not go any where else. I broke a tooth. Their 3D X-ray equipment scanned the broken area and then their 3D printer was making me a new crown while I was still in the chair. Within a half hour I had a new crown that fitted perfectly. Where do you get service like that?!

Love my dental hygenist, Ashton! She does a great job cleaning my teeth, letting me know what I am doing right, and giving suggestions. When Dr. Michelle Bargen comes in, Ashton goes over what we discussed, what she went over with me, and Dr. Bargen checks my teeth and gives me her views also. Great team!!
