Dental Procedures

A denture adjustment is a modification made to a removable dental prosthesis (denture) to improve its fit, comfort, and function. Adjustments may be necessary due to changes in the oral tissues, denture wear, or other factors affecting the fit.

A denture rebase is a dental procedure that involves replacing the entire base material of a denture while keeping the existing teeth or artificial teeth. This is done to address changes in the fit or condition of the denture base.

Denture reline, specifically chairside denture reline, is a dental procedure performed to improve the fit and comfort of removable dentures directly in the dental office, without the need for sending the dentures to a dental laboratory.

Denture Reline (lab) is the process of resurfacing the tissue side of a denture with new base material. Dentists may send your denture to a lab for relining, where technicians use specialized materials to improve the fit.

Full bony impaction represents the surgical extraction of a fully impacted tooth where a tooth is fully impacted within the jawbone, meaning it has not erupted through the gum tissue and is completely encased within the bone. 

Full mouth debridement is a dental procedure that involves the removal of excessive plaque and calculus (tartar) from the surfaces of the teeth. This is typically done when there is a significant accumulation of plaque and calculus, making a comprehensive examination difficult.

Full mouth X-rays, also known as panoramic radiographs or orthopantomograms (OPGs), provide a comprehensive view of the entire mouth, including teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.

An interim stayplate, also known as a temporary denture or provisional denture, is a removable dental appliance designed to replace missing teeth on a temporary basis.
