Dentures & Veneers

Dental veneers are a versatile, effective way to help your smile look its best. Veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or resin, that are custom created and shaped in a high-quality dental laboratory. Dr. Ramsay will then bond the dental veneers to the front of your teeth to give your smile a beautiful, uniform appearance. Our dental veneers are made of tooth-colored materials like porcelain and resin so that they blend in beautifully with the natural appearance of your smile; no one will even notice you have veneers! We will help you select a shade of porcelain or resin that is natural yet radiant.  

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth. They are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. A full denture, also called a complete denture, replaces all of the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. By replacing missing teeth, dentures not only support sagging facial muscles, but also improve a person’s ability to speak and eat. Full dentures are divided into two categories – complete and immediate – depending on when they are made and inserted into the mouth.

Complete dentures are made and inserted after the remaining teeth are removed and the tissues have healed. Immediate dentures are inserted immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth. The advantage of immediate dentures is that the patient does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, immediate dentures may require adjustment to fit properly after gums shrink from the healing period.
