Complete/Partial Dentures
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are used to replace missing teeth for people with no remaining teeth. Dentures may also be used for people who have lost several teeth. In this case, the appliance is called a partial denture or an overdenture. Tooth loss may result from periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth decay, or traumatic injury. It is very important to replace missing teeth. The ill effects of not doing so can be a shift in remaining teeth, an inability to bite and chew properly. Sufferers of missing teeth may also experience a sagging facial appearance, which makes them appear older than they are. The beauty of dentures today is that they are designed to be comfortable and functional. They are very similar in appearance to natural teeth, and can improve a smile or facial appearance.
About Partial Dentures
An important step in maintaining a healthy smile is to replace missing teeth. When teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift, drifting into surrounding space. Teeth that are out of position can damage tissues in the mouth. In addition, it may be difficult to clean thoroughly between crooked teeth. As a result, you run the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to the loss of additional teeth. A removable partial denture fills in the space created by missing teeth and fills out your smile. A denture helps you to properly chew food, a difficult task when you are missing teeth. In addition, a denture may improve speech and prevent a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.

My first time here was an emergency appointment. I was impressed with the bright and immaculate waiting area. Receptionist was very welcoming and pleasant. I was quickly taken to exam room. The dental assistant was so nice and kind. The dentist was great! They both calmed my fears and I felt that I was in good hands. My procedure went well. Everything explained and a plan was made for future appointments. I don’t know all of the names( I was very nervous when introduced to everyone)but I will. At checkout, she was also friendly, took her time explaining what will be needed next. I thank each one so much. Most importantly, I have a new dentist. Highly recommended.
Dr. Alex and his team are the absolute dental care providers I’ve ever experienced. He is a wizard at diagnosis, crowns, implants and treatment plans. Great professional office - everyone on the staff - admin to hygienists - are all excellent. Recommend Care Advanced without reservation!
Care Advanced comprises the most thorough and competent dental professionals who have ever provided dental care for me and my family. All of the staff are focused on patient care and support and the services they offer are second to none.
I am very pleased with the dental care I am receiving from Dr. Alex Quintner and his team. Having all my natural teeth removed and replaced with permanent dentures is something I have been putting off for years. I am very glad to finally have the process well underway and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Ultimately it will take some months before I have the finished product but one day of surgery and I walked out with temporary fixed dentures. It was an immediate improvement. Even considering the bit of physical discomfort from the surgery and a short time thereafter, I was promptly recognizing a vast improvement over what I had come accustomed to tolerating day in and day out for years prior. Thanks!
Best dentist I have ever come across in the 64 years of my life. Meticulous, careful, and very caring. The office is equipped with the latest technology (for example a 3 D printer) which makes receiving crowns, implants, and night guards etc. so much faster. Highly recommend the dentists there.
I was treated very well by everyone I came in contact with and Dr Alex really took his time explaining the different procedures available. Going to the dentist is no one’s idea of a fun time, but it doesn’t get much better than this.
