Frequently Asked Questions
Patients of all ages may need partials or dentures if they have lost some or all of their teeth to situations like disease, decay or accidents.

Dr. Denny can help answer any of your questions and concerns regarding the need for partials or dentures. Call us today to set up an appointment.
Not exactly. Technically, bridges are fixed, partial, permanent dentures. We will use bridges when there is a gap from a missing tooth. In other words, we 'bridge' the space between two teeth. Unlike dentures, bridges are not removeable, because we afix them to the neighboring teeth. If you don't have natural teeth, you can't have bridges.
