Dentures/Partial Dentures

Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types: complete dentures for those with all teeth missing and partial dentures for individuals with some natural teeth remaining.

Dentures

Who needs dentures?

Complete Tooth Loss: Individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth are candidates for complete dentures.
Partial Tooth Loss: Those with some missing teeth but not a full set may opt for partial dentures.
Need for Full Mouth Restoration: Individuals requiring extensive dental restoration due to decay, gum disease, or trauma may benefit from complete dentures.

Benefits:

  • Restored Functionality: Dentures enable individuals to chew and speak more effectively, restoring essential oral functions.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Dentures enhance the appearance of the smile, replacing missing teeth and supporting facial structures.
  • Boosted Confidence: Improved aesthetics and functionality often lead to increased self-confidence.
  • Customization: Dentures can be customized to match the natural color and shape of the remaining teeth, providing a natural look.
  • Affordability: Dentures are often a more affordable tooth replacement option compared to alternatives like implants.
