Removable partial dentures (RPD)
RPD only replaces some of the missing teeth. They are built onto a metal cast framework for strength and restore natural look, feel, and teeth functionality.
The following are two types of RPD that can be removed at any time and replaced easily;
Cast partial dentures: Made of tissue-colored acrylic, replacement teeth, and metal framework to hold all the materials together.
Acrylic partial dentures: These flippers are made of acrylic resin and mimic your teeth’ natural look and function.
Implant retained dentures
Overdentures do not permanently attach to dental implants but click into place and latch onto the abutment to support the entire set of teeth, improve chewing, and increase teeth stability. The types of overdentures are locator-attached, which replace lower permanent teeth, and bar attachment supports a complete set of false teeth in the lower jaw.
The overdentures are long-lasting, natural-looking, and provide better biting and chewing surfaces.

Conventional immediate dentures: Removable artificial teeth created for immediate use after teeth extraction.
Interim immediate dentures: Removable artificial teeth are designed to improve aesthetic value and appearance.
