Complete dentures replace all of the teeth in your mouth, including the upper and lower arch. They consist of an acrylic base that resembles gum tissue supporting a full row of artificial teeth. Depending on the type, they may attach via suction and adhesives, or connect to dental implants placed in the jaw.

Types of Complete Dentures We Offer
At Moonglow Dental Specialists, we provide a variety of custom complete denture options to meet your needs:
- Conventional complete dentures. The conventional denture process involves the removal of your teeth and allows time for the gums to heal prior to the creation of your dentures. This results in a more comfortable and customized fit.
- Immediate complete dentures. For your convenience, immediate complete dentures can be placed on the same day as your extractions, allowing for natural appearance and function from the start.
- Implant-retained complete dentures. For a more secure hold, 2 to 4 implants can be placed in the jaw. Then an implant-retained dentures can be securely snapped onto the implants, which significantly increase the stability and retention of the dentures.
