Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to aging, injury, or disease, dentures can improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Types of Dentures:

Complete Dentures: These are used when all the teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw. Complete dentures consist of a full set of artificial teeth that are custom-made to fit snugly over the gums.

Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. They fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place by clasps attached to the remaining natural teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering a more stable and secure fit compared to traditional dentures.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures provide a reliable and affordable solution for replacing missing teeth, helping you restore both the function and appearance of your smile while maintaining your overall oral health. Regular check-ups are important to ensure proper fit and comfort over time.
