Prosthodontics
Dentures and partial dentures
Complete or partial, conventional or immediate, made where they are fitted.
Removable replacements for missing teeth and tissue, made to resemble natural teeth and adjusted as the mouth heals.
Dr. Boyajian took the Dentsply Trubyte complete denture course as a dental technician in 1977, long before dental school. He also watched his father make himself denture after denture looking for a comfortable set, which is why implant-supported options are always discussed.
