When your natural teeth are lost due to decay (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease) or traumatic accident, a removable denture can replace your missing teeth and smile. Removable dentures are made of gum colored acrylic resin bases that support replacement teeth made of acrylic or porcelain. Various metals are often also used in combination with the acrylic resin bases.
Complete Dentures replace all the teeth in an arch, either all your upper or lower teeth. If restoring your natural teeth is not possible and a complete denture is indicated, Dr. Levy will make you an immediate denture. An immediate denture is fabricated by taking precise measurements prior to the extraction of your teeth. On the day your teeth are removed, your immediate denture is inserted just after surgery to restore your smile. You do not walk out of our office without teeth!

Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures are suitable for patients who have some sturdy natural teeth remaining. Not only do they enhance your appearance, chewing ability and often your speech, but they prevent your natural teeth from shifting and help to support your facial muscles.
