Dentures and partials
Complete dentures, immediate dentures, and partial dentures can restore missing teeth while supporting speech, appearance, and chewing. Design starts with your mouth, existing teeth, expectations, and ability to clean and maintain the appliance.
If you have a denture you like, Dr. Souferian can digitally scan it and use that scan as a reference when making a duplicate or replacement. This preserves useful information from the denture that already works for you, while still allowing improvements where they are needed. A scan is a starting point, not a guarantee of an exact copy — fit and appearance are still confirmed with you along the way.
If you need a denture for the first time, or your current denture is no longer a good starting point, Dr. Souferian can design an entirely new denture using a digital workflow. Digital impressions and planning help shape the fit and appearance around your mouth. The number of visits depends on your individual case — digital tools support the process, but they do not remove the steps needed to get the fit right.
Options may include conventional complete dentures and immediate dentures placed at the time teeth are removed. The right approach depends on the health of your mouth, your timeline, and your expectations, and is planned with you after an exam.
A partial denture replaces some missing teeth while fitting around the remaining teeth. Valplast partial dentures and DuraFlex partial dentures are flexible options that may offer aesthetic clasping and a different feel from rigid frameworks. They are educational examples, not universal recommendations.
Changes in the mouth, normal wear, or accidental damage can affect how a denture fits and functions. Depending on the condition of the denture, a denture repair, denture reline, or replacement may be appropriate. Dr. Souferian can evaluate the existing denture and explain the practical options.
Individual recommendations
Experience guides the choice. A dental restoration is more than the material it is made from. Dr. Souferian considers the tooth, bite, appearance, function, surrounding teeth, oral health, and long-term needs before recommending a material or treatment. When more than one appropriate option exists, those options are explained so the patient can make an informed decision.
