Dr. Dyki specializes in both traditional and immediate dentures, providing options that work with your timeline and treatment needs.

Types of dentures we offer:

Complete dentures – replace all teeth in upper or lower jaw

    Complete vs. Immediate Dentures

    • Continue normal social activities

    • Ideal for working professionals

    Best for: Patients who can’t be without teeth during the healing period.

    Conventional Dentures

    Placed after complete healing (6-8 weeks)

    • More precise fit from the start
    • Gums and bone have healed completely
