A denture addition involves adding a tooth or teeth to an existing partial denture after a natural tooth has been removed. Instead of making a completely new denture, we modify your current one to fill the new gap.
This helps maintain appearance and function while saving time and cost. The process involves adjusting and sending the denture to a lab for precise tooth matching and attachment.
While convenient, not all dentures are suitable for additions depending on their design and condition. In some cases, a new partial denture, bridge, or implant may be recommended instead. After a denture addition, some minor adjustments may be needed as your mouth heals, and keeping the denture clean is especially important.
