Choosing the right dentures
 

"Dr. Thies, what are dentures?"
  Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth.
 
"What are partial dentures, Dr. Thies?"
  Partial dentures are dentures that replace only a few missing teeth.
 
"What are complete dentures?"
  Complete dentures are dentures that replace a complete set of missing teeth.
 
Are you unhappy with your appearance? Do worn dentures make you look older?
  Revitalize your appearance with “personalized” dentures. Avoid the standard denture look. Consider “personalized” dentures custom made by Dr. Thies for a natural appearance. Dr. Thies personally fits your dentures based upon your individual needs.
 
Do you have denture problems: sore mouth, loose dentures, difficulty eating?
  Consider “personalized” dentures custom made by Dr. Thies for an improved fit and better comfort than traditional dentures. “Cushioned” dentures for comfort. “Weighted” dentures for greater stability.
 
What are “cushioned dentures”?
  “Cushioned dentures” are dentures lined with a soft-liner to cushion the fit of the denture. “Cushioned dentures” are more comfortable to wear.
 
What are “weighted dentures”?
  The lower denture can be difficult to wear. The lower denture moves easily. “Weighted dentures” have a small weight placed in the lower denture for greater stability.
 
"Dr. Thies, what is the difference between conventional dentures and immediate dentures?"
  Conventional dentures are dentures that are made and placed after the remaining teeth are removed and the tissues have healed. Immediate dentures are dentures that are placed immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth.
 
"What is an over-denture?"
  An over-denture is a denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants.
