Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that are carefully crafted to fit comfortably over your gums, replacing some or all of your natural teeth. They help restore the appearance of your smile, improve chewing and speaking, and support the structure of your face, preventing a sunken or aged appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
There are a variety of denture options available, and the best choice will depend on the condition of your gums and the shape of the lower ridge of your mouth where the dentures will sit. Our dental team will work with you to assess your oral health and recommend a solution that provides the most comfortable fit, natural look, and long-lasting function.
Both metal and plastic dentures help replace missing teeth, making it easier to eat and speak comfortably.
Dentures support facial structure and restore the natural look of your smile, preventing a sunken facial appearance.
Metal dentures are typically thinner, stronger, and longer-lasting, offering a secure and stable fit.
Plastic dentures are lighter and often more cost-effective, making them a popular choice for many patients.
Both types are designed to fit your mouth comfortably, improving confidence and daily comfort.
Full dentures are used to replace all of your natural teeth. Partial dentures are used to replace just one or several missing teeth. Your dentist will discuss the options available to you and provide a written quotation of the expected costs.
The process usually takes a few weeks and involves several appointments, including impressions, fittings, and adjustments, to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
Modern dentures are designed to fit snugly over your gums. Some initial discomfort or soreness is normal, but adjustments can be made for a better fit.
Yes, but it may take a little time to adjust. Start with soft foods and gradually progress to harder foods as you become more comfortable.
Clean your dentures daily using a soft brush and mild denture cleaner. Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to keep them moist and maintain their shape.
