Cosmetic Dentures
Artificial teeth should look and feel natural, and to ensure optimal results, Dr. Rabban utilizes advanced technology and a state-of-the-art dental lab. Cosmetic dentures are prosthetic teeth that imitate natural tooth enamel and are secured on a gum-colored base. Dentures are often held in place by a combination of muscle strength in your cheeks and tongue as well as denture adhesive. For some patients, dental implants can offer the most secure foundation for dentures. Dr. Rabban will discuss your various options and then recommend the best solution for your case.
Precision/Partial Dentures (with hidden clasps)
A partial denture consists of multiple replacement teeth on a gum-colored base. The replacement teeth fit into spaces between existing teeth to complete a smile. To secure partial dentures, clasps attach to neighboring teeth. With precision/partial dentures, clasps are hidden, which creates a more natural, esthetic result.
