Removable Dentistry

Practical Solutions for Missing Teeth

Removable appliances remain one of the most accessible and versatile ways to replace missing teeth. They can restore a full arch or just a few teeth, they are often more affordable than fixed alternatives, and they can be adjusted over time as the mouth changes. The American Dental Association recognizes dentures as an established, effective treatment for restoring oral function after tooth loss (ada.org).

Your Options

Complete and partial dentures replace several or all missing teeth while supporting the lips and cheeks and restoring a natural appearance. Flippers and stayplates offer a lightweight, temporary way to fill a gap while a permanent restoration is being planned. And when an existing appliance becomes loose, cracked, or worn, professional denture repairs restore comfort and fit safely. For patients who have completed orthodontic treatment, custom orthodontic retainers help protect that investment by keeping teeth in their new positions.

Comfort, Fit, and Follow-Up

A well-made removable appliance depends on precise impressions and careful fitting, which is why Dr. Anna Yi takes time to evaluate the gums, jawbone, and any remaining natural teeth before recommending treatment. Because oral tissues naturally change over time, periodic adjustments or relines help maintain a secure, comfortable fit. For patients exploring every option, we are also happy to discuss fixed alternatives such as implant restorations and bridges so you can make a fully informed decision.
