Dentures

When teeth are lost, there are several options for replacement, including dentures. Whether replacing all the teeth with a complete denture or just a few with a partial denture, this solution is a quick, relatively easy, and cost-effective way to restore a smile. Moulds are taken of the remaining teeth and gums, and a custom denture is fabricated with teeth attached to an acrylic resin base. Dentures are removable and should be cleaned daily and taken out at night to allow the gums to rest.

With advancements in dental implants, dentures can now be secured to implants for improved fit and function. Implant-supported dentures offer excellent retention, enhancing comfort and confidence. For patients struggling with the fit of conventional dentures, implant attachments eliminate the need for adhesives. Some implant-supported dentures are even fixed in place with screws, meaning they do not need to be removed nightly. Instead, they are only taken out during dental maintenance appointments for professional cleaning.

Dentures, along with implants and bridges, provide patients with reliable options for tooth replacement, helping restore both function and aesthetics.
