Comfortable, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
Dentures are custom-made, removable oral appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth. Whether you have lost some or all of your teeth due to decay, gum disease or injury, dentures can help restore your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence. They also provide essential support for the facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that often results from tooth loss.
Types of Dentures
There are two main types of dentures, each designed to address different levels of tooth loss:
- Complete Dentures – Used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing, complete dentures replace an entire row of teeth. These dentures rest on the gums and may be secured with a denture adhesive for better stability.
- Partial Dentures – Designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining, partial dentures use a thin framework or clasps to attach securely to existing teeth. This helps maintain alignment and prevents the remaining teeth from shifting.
We will evaluate your oral health and recommend the best type of denture for your specific needs.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer several advantages for patients who have experienced tooth loss, including:
- Restored Function – Allows you to eat and speak more easily.
- Improved Appearance – Enhances your smile and supports facial structure.
- Increased Comfort – Modern dentures are designed to fit securely and feel natural.
- Customized Fit – Each set is tailored to match your mouth for a comfortable and stable fit.
- Affordable Solution – Dentures provide an effective and cost-friendly way to replace missing teeth.
