Dentures
Weisbard Dental offers a range of options for a missing teeth replacement, from traditional denture to an implant secured dentures.
What are my choices for teeth replacement?
The choices range from a traditional denture which has minimal stability, to an implant secured denture which improves stability and preserves bone, and finally to a hybrid appliance screwed into the completely fixed implants that provides the most natural chewing function and stability. Dr. Weisbard can help you make the best decision for your particular circumstances. Please call for a complimentary consultation to see what would best suit your needs.
