What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding gums. Depending on your needs, you may require full dentures to restore all teeth or partial dentures to fill smaller gaps. These prosthetics help you chew, speak, and smile with greater ease.
- Full dentures: Replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial dentures: Fill gaps and attach to your remaining natural teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: Provide enhanced stability through dental implants.
- Removable design: Allows for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
