Restore Missing Teeth With Dr. Shlafer
Dentures are a fast and affordable solution for missing teeth. Customized to blend in beautifully with your smile, these restorations look natural and can be easily removed for your convenience.
Depending on your needs, we offer full and partial dentures at our practice. Explore our guide to learn how how you can benefit.
Turbyfill Dentures
Dr. Shlafter is proud to feature Turbyfill dentures at our practice. Created by renowned prosthodontist Dr. Jack Turbyfill, these restorations are specifically designed to accommodate lost gum and bone tissue. This helps to increase your comfort and enhance your facial appearance.
If you’re missing a whole arch of teeth, we can restore your smile with a full denture. Alternatively, if you still have some of your natural teeth remaining, Dr. Shlafer can customize a partial denture to fill the gaps in your smile.
Your replacement teeth will be made of natural-looking porcelain to ensure a stunning appearance and long-lasting results. No matter how many teeth you’re missing, Dr. Shlafer can help you achieve a beautiful smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dr. Shlafer can anchor your full or partial dentures with dental implants for a more stable restoration. Implant-supported dentures are secured to your jaw and never removed, making them more durable and easier to care for. They also restore your chewing strength and stimulate your jaw to prevent bone loss.
We feature two options for full-arch replacement with implant-supported dentures. The first option is All-on-4, which only requires four implants to secure your dentures. This treatment never requires a bone graft, making it ideal for patients who have suffered from bone loss.
The other option is Teeth-in-a-Day, also known as immediate load implants. This procedure uses four to six implants in order to ensure safety and stability. Since your dentures are secured to your implants immediately after surgery, you’ll need plenty of healthy jawbone tissue to take advantage of this option.
Candidancy for Dentures
Generally speaking, any patient with missing teeth is a candidate for dentures. If you’re missing more than one tooth, they’re the quickest and most affordable way to restore your smile. They’re also often the best option for patients who suffer from jawbone deterioration and may not qualify for dental implants.
