- Full Conventional Denture: A complete denture replaces all of the teeth in your mouth. This is usually fabricated after all teeth have been removed and the gums have healed.
- Full Immediate Denture: This denture is placed into your mouth the day your teeth are removed, bypassing the healing phase needed for the complete denture. However, the initial fit of the denture will change while your body heals, and the tissue and bone underneath your denture change.
- Partial Denture: A partial denture replaces some missing teeth, but anchors or holds on to other teeth still present in your mouth. There are many types of partial dentures: some are made out of plastic, some have a metal substructure and some are flexible and highly aesthetic.

Denture Process
The denture process usually begins with a consultation and dental impressions to assess your oral health and customize the fit. If extractions are needed, those are performed first, followed by healing time. Then, impressions or digital scans are used to create your dentures. You’ll try a wax model to check for fit and appearance before the final set is made. After delivery, follow-up visits may be needed for adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality.
FAQ

What types of dentures are available at Dove Dental?
-
How long do dentures typically last?
Dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Over time, changes in your jawbone and normal wear may require adjustments, relining or replacement to maintain comfort and function.
-
Are same-day dentures an option in Springfield, MO?
No. Unlike many “same-day denture” clinics that use fast drying materials, we use a super durable high-quality resin that takes a full 24 hours to cure before it is ready for wear. By not rushing to complete your denture in just a few hours, the dedicated denture technician we use is able to take his time in treating your new denture like a piece of art—carefully crafting your new denture with more care and detail than is allowed in an “assembly line” environment.
